October 6 Lincoln Elementary News

We will have our fall parent teacher conferences this week:

Monday, October 7 3:30-7:30pm

Tuesday, October 8 3:30-7:30pm

Thursday, October 10 8:00-11:30am

We look forward to seeing you at your students conference. Be sure to arrive on time for your scheduled appointment with the teacher.

Reminder: If you would like to bring a treat for your students birthday or any other special occasion, it needs to fit the district guidelines.

"Please do not bring homemade or store bought cookies or cupcakes. Snacks need to be store bought. We have children in the school who are allergic to different foods and we want to keep ALL of our kids safe! Sorry, you will be asked to take homemade items AND items that do not meet Smart Snack guidelines back home."

Check your students backpack for a note that will include any allergies at your specific grade level to be mindful of. If you have any questions, please call Mrs. McDonald in the office.

Below you will find the GIPS guidelines on Healthy Celebrations and Snacks.

We want to ensure all students and staff are safe at drop off and pick up. In order to do this, we need you to partner with us to ensure that EVERYONE is following our school procedures. Please review the maps below and reach out to Mrs. McDonald if you have any questions.

Thank you for helping to keep our students, staff and families safe.

If you come in with your student, it is not allowed for you to share their meal or take any food home. If you do, we could lose our grant for free food for everyone. Please be sure that food served to your student is only eaten by your student. Thank you.

If your student would like to bring a lunch from home, please be sure to send it with them in the morning so they have it available at their lunch time. We encourage you to pack items that do not require reheating as we will not be heating up student lunches in the microwave to allow our staff to focus on supervising and building relationships with students during lunch.
