Hello Roadrunner Families!

Summer break is quickly approaching leaving us with some important things to note before our June 6th dismissal day.

Remember to come look through our lost and found to gather any items your student has left behind in the warm weather. We have many sweatshirts, water bottles, and lunch boxes who would like to return home!

If your student takes medication at school, please remember to come by the office to pick up their medication before our office closes for the summer.

The last day for school offices to be open is Tuesday, June 11th. We will return to open offices on Tuesday, August 6th, 2024. The District Office will be open for summer hours from 10:00am-2:00pm starting on June 14th and will resume normal hours on Monday, August 5th, 2024. If you have questions over the summer, please do not hesitate to reach out to the district office at 916-635-6350.

Class lists for next year will be posted in August. We know our students are eager to know who their teacher will be for next year, but putting together lists is a detailed process, so we appreciate your patience!

In future newsletters, this information will be posted below in the Important Updates and Information section for easy access.

Have a lovely week, Roadrunners!

As we get ready to head into the summer, we want our Roadrunners to have ideas about how to be great Roadrunners in the community! In our assembly this week, we talked about the things we love about Lincoln and the ways we can follow the BEEP expectations outside of school.

Some great things about Lincoln are…

• McBean Park!
• Tasty restaurants!
• The 4th of July Parade!
• Going to Potter’s Games!
• Our awesome library!
• Lots of trails to ride bikes on!
• Cool artwork in downtown Lincoln!
• You are here!

We can keep our town awesome by being awesome in our town!

Be Safe

• Stay on sidewalks
• Obey traffic laws
• Be home before dark
• Wear a helmet on your bike, scooter, or other wheels!

Exercise Responsibility

• Respect other people’s property
• Clean up your trash, and other people’s trash if you see it
• Take responsibility for your actions if you make a mistake

Engage in Learning

• Talk to adults about ways to stay safe
• Go to the library and read
• Create new games to play with friends

Practice Kindness

• Share toys with a friend
• Donate to a food bank or shelter
• Be polite to everyone you meet
• Use proper language and volume, you never know whose baby sister is trying to sleep!

Registration for the 2024-2025 school year is now open! Please spread the word to anyone you know who has a new student, an incoming TK student, or an incoming Kinder student. They can find the link to register here: https://www.wpusd.org/in-our-schools/enrollment/new-student-registration/next-year-2024-2025

If your student currently attends First Street School on an intra-district transfer, you will need to request to have their intra-district transfer renewed each year. This process will open on January 19th. The link to submit your intra-district transfer can be found here: https://www.wpusd.org/in-our-schools/enrollment/transfers/intra-district-transfers

Students who currently attend First Street School and live in the First Street School boundaries do not need to do anything with registration. GATE students also do not need to submit an intra-district transfer as their enrollment rolls forward year over year at First Street School.

Box Tops for Education

It's a new year, but some things stay the same...Box Tops are a SUPER EASY way to help fund your school with NO cost to you!

While replenishing your cabinets after all those holiday gatherings or equipping your family for some New Year's resolutions... please remember to scan your receipts (any & all) with the Box Tops app. Every dime counts!

First Street School gets $0.10 for each Box Top scanned for our school at NO COST TO YOU. The prices you pay for Participating Products don't change & neither does your shopping experience or favorite stores. With minimal effort to scan the receipts you're already getting with the Box Tops app, the school can earn enough funds to pay for software licenses, activity supplies, snacks, etc.

• Earn Box Tops for Participating Products by scanning receipts with the Box Tops app.
• When you shop online or use delivery services, you can earn Box Tops by forwarding your e-receipt to receipts@boxtops4education.com or by uploading it with the Box Tops app. Learn more about submitting e-receipts here.

We continue to offer breakfast and lunch free of charge to all students this year! Our food services department works hard each year to increase the variety of our dishes, with many of our meals now being cooked from scratch in our school kitchens!

Please see the documents below for more detailed information.
