Safety Drills This Month
This month, Lincoln Junior High will be conducting several important safety drills, including fire, severe weather, shelter-in-place, and bus evacuation practices. These drills are crucial to ensure that students and staff are familiar with procedures and know exactly what to do in the event of an emergency. Local enforcement agencies also assist with these drills to provide additional support and guidance. By practicing these drills, we help create a safe and prepared school environment where everyone understands how to respond quickly and efficiently. Your child’s safety is our top priority, and these exercises play a key role in maintaining that commitment.
Attendance Reminders
Classes begin daily at 8:00 am. It is important that students arrive at school on time and are ready to learn. For detailed information, please click this link.
Absences
If a student is to be absent or late to school, the parent or guardian must call the school's absence line before 7:45 a.m. at (630) 420-3881. This line is open 24 hours a day and recorded messages can be left anytime before 7:45 a.m.
Early Dismissals
If you need to pick up your student early for an appointment, there are a couple of options we ask that you follow. The day of the appointment, send a note with your student indicating what time you need to pick him/her up and the reason for leaving. Your child must bring the note to the main office before 8:00 a.m. You may also call the Lincoln Junior High Attendance Line to notify the office of your child’s departure time. A pass will be provided and all teachers are notified of any early dismissals. A parent/guardian must come into the building to sign the student out.
