Thank You!
I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your incredible contributions and kind words during Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week. Each one of the treats, notes, pictures, and flowers was appreciated. We had a fun week celebrating our staff. Thank you to the PTO for donating not one, but TWO lunches for them to enjoy. Thank you to Grand Canyon University for contributing a dessert this week as well. Another shout out goes to Reed Family Honey for sponsoring Sweet Hazel Coffee for all of our staff on Friday morning. It was a great way to round out the week! Our staff thoroughly enjoyed being pampered and celebrated this week, thanks to your thoughtful gestures and gestures of appreciation. It's moments like these that remind us of the incredible strength and unity within our school community.
Additionally, I want to express my sincere appreciation for the supportive and kind messages I've received regarding being named Principal of the Year for MISD. Your encouragement means the world to me, and I am deeply honored and humbled to serve among such an amazing community.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will continue to create a nurturing and enriching environment for our students.
Pre-K, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, & 4th Grades Class Recognitions
End of Year Recognition for PK, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades will be held in their homeroom classes. Due to limited space in the classrooms, we are asking families to please limit the number of adults to 2. To expedite the entry process, we are asking for parents to pre-register so their raptor badge is printed and ready for you.
Please complete this form by May 16th at midnight. The Raptor badge will be available for pick up 15 min prior to the celebration at the front entrance of the school.
******* If you have not had your ID scanned and a raptor badge printed for you this year, you will need to come into the front office prior to May 16th or you will be required to check in through the front office on the day of the celebration. This may delay your entry into the building and arriving to the classroom for the celebration.
You may register for all of your children on one form.

All About Lunch
Lunch Schedules
Lunch visitors who are on a child's emergency contact list are welcome to eat with that child on the stage during the student's lunch period starting on August 28. Visitors will need to check in at the front office with their ID and get a visitor badge. Please do not invite other students to join you or provide food or snacks for other students. When lunch is over, all students will line up with their class. Visitors will return to the front office to turn in their visitor badge.
A friendly reminder, we do not have an open lunch policy so please do not order food for your child from outside vendors to be delivered to the school during the school day (i.e. Uber Eats, Grub Hub, Door Dash, or any kind of delivery service). This becomes a safety concern when staff need to leave the front office to deliver food to students or take their focus off of families who have business in the office. Food deliveries also increase the number of unfamiliar people entering the building. Additionally, our lunch times are very tight and do not allow for late deliveries. We cannot allow for learning to be disrupted by early or late food deliveries. Thank you for understanding our focus on safety and uninterrupted instructional time.
Lunch TImes:
- Pre-K & ECSE (AM) - 11:30-12:00
- ECSE (PM) - 11:40-12:10
- Kindergarten - 12:20-12:50
- 1st Grade - 11:45-12:15
- 2nd Grade - 10:55-11:25
- 3rd Grade - 11:10-11:40
- 4th Grade - 12:05-12:35
- 5th Grade - 12:35-1:05
School Hours, Attendance, and Tardies
- Doors open at 7:50
- Tardy bell rings, and class begins at 8:15. (This is the time students are expected to be in their seats in the classroom.)
- School day ends at 3:40
We are working hard to maximize each and every minute our students are here. Students who arrive after 8:15 are considered tardy and will need to be walked into the front door of the building and signed in by a parent or guardian. If your child needs to leave early, they may be checked out through the front office by a parent or guardian no later than 3:15 pm.
Attendance is of critical importance to your child's academic success. Click here on a district update regarding attendance procedures for the 23-24 school year. Rather than sending a note to school with your child upon his/her return from an absence, parents will enter the absence information through Family Access in Skyward. Directions for entering the infomation is availble in the link above.
Changes in transportation need to be made prior to 2:00 in order to allow time for the messages to be communicated with the appropriate staff member. To request a change of transportation, either
- Send a note with your child,
- Email LincolnElementaryTransit@misd.org with the note and a copy of your driver's license, or
- Come to the school with a copy of your driver's license.
