Good afternoon Lincoln Families and Students,

What an incredible week we've had! We’ve seen our students engaged, excited and curious! Students, your enthusiasm for learning, creativity in Advisory, and respectful behavior does not go unnoticed. Whether you were tackling challenging math problems, showing kindness to a friend, or participating in discussions, your positive energy has been inspiring. We are seeing all of the ways in which you embody our Panther PRIDE!

Keep up the fantastic work, and let's carry this momentum into next week. Have a wonderful and restful weekend!

Join us on Friday, August 30th at 8:15 am in the office for our first Coffee with the Principals event. We will see you then.

Thank you,

Your Lincoln Staff

Supplies by Grade level

We have had a strong start to our week and our Lincoln Panthers have shown up at school showing us how engaged, curious and motivated they are!

Yesterday in Advisory, your child learned about all of the important information and people, who will be there to support them in this new school year! Students learned about the ways to be successful in their new grade level, required supplies for their classes, and the contact information for each of their teachers.

Parents and Guardians please review the following grade level brochures, where all of this important information is housed, to best support your child!

New Cell Phone Policy

To create a focused learning environment and support student mental health, Oceanside Unified School District will now require all student cell phones to be off and stowed in backpacks upon entering campus and remain off until leaving. Exceptions are made for students with IEPs or 504 plans if specified for medical or anxiety-related needs, as determined by site administration.

Classrooms have landlines for students to contact parents if needed, and students will have access to their phones during emergencies. The policy aims to reduce distractions, enhance engagement, and prevent cyberbullying, while also reducing the risk of phone theft or loss. Support and disciplinary actions for policy violations could include warnings, phone calls home, and phone confiscations, with increasing consequences for repeated offenses.

OUSD is committed to student safety and mental health, fostering academic and emotional growth. For more details, refer to OUSD’s 2024-2025 Handbook. Board Policy 5131.8 and California Education Code 48901.5.
