Picture day order forms went out today, so please check your scholar's backpack for the prices of each picture package. If you don't have a packet, don't worry!

Families, please be on the lookout for a message from your child's teacher with a message and/or schedule about parent teacher conferences. Conferences will be held virtually on October 7th. To accommodate our families, your scholar's teacher will begin scheduling conferences as early as this week on Tuesday. If you have any questions, please email your scholar's teacher. Teacher email addresses can be found on the school's website.

As we move forward with our assessment schedule, I wanted to send a reminder that diagnostic testing for DIBELS and i-Ready will continue over the next few weeks. These results are critical for understanding individual student needs and planning targeted instruction.

Important Details:

• DIBELS Testing: This assessment is for our K-3 scholars. Parents & families, please ensure that scholars arrive on time and ready to show what they know.
  

• i-Ready Diagnostic:
  i-Ready testing will occur for our 4th and 5th grade scholars.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As part of our ongoing efforts to keep our students hydrated and healthy throughout the school day, we kindly ask that you provide your child with a refillable water bottle to bring to school each day. Staying hydrated is essential for your child's focus and well-being, and having a personal water bottle helps minimize interruptions during class. You may purchase a water bottle here: Amazon.com : Opard Peak Water Bottle 20 Oz BPA Free Tritan Plastic Leak Proof Flip Top for School Kids Sports Gym Yoga Camping (Blue) : Sports & Outdoors

Our Fall Fundraiser featuring Joe Corbi's Pizza and Claire's Gourmet is off to a great start! Our goal for this fundraiser is $15,000. All monies raised will support Technology and Curriculum in our school. Thank you to everyone who has sold items for our fundraiser! There is still one more day to sell a few more items to help support our school! Our fundraiser officially ended on Friday, September 27th. Please reach out to Mr. Blake to submit money from the fundraiser.

Understanding Character Development

According to the U.S. Department of Education, character development transcends traditional academic boundaries. It pertains to the teaching of students about “core ethical values such as respect, justice, civic virtue and citizenship, and responsibility to self and others.” These values shape students into individuals who can think critically, empathize with others, act with integrity, and engage constructively in their communities. The process nurtures the internal compass that guides a student’s decisions and interactions throughout life.

Parents we would like your feedback on our Core Values at Imagine Lincoln Public Charter School. Please take a moment to take a short Schoolwide Expectation survey. We would love any input you might have as these expectations are how our scholars will receive PBIS (Positive Behavioral Intervention Support) points.

Mr. Pew
Character Education Support Coordinator

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! I am Sra. Harris, the Spanish teacher for middle school this year. As we embark on this vibrant celebration, I wish to highlight its profound significance for our scholars, as it nurtures understanding and appreciation of diverse cultures. This month encourages students to explore the rich contributions and history of Hispanic communities, fostering inclusivity and respect. By honoring this month, we cultivate a sense of identity and pride among Hispanic students, while also enriching the educational tapestry for all by unveiling varied perspectives and traditions. Engaging in activities that celebrate this month can ignite curiosity, empathy, and a shared sense of community among all learners.
