Hello Lincoln Families,

We are so excited that our Family Conferences are just around the corner. We will be hosting conferences on October 16th and 17th. If you have not received an opportunity to sign up, please contact your child's teacher. Our goal is to meet with 100% of our Lincoln families!

This is the time of year when school fees start to come due. We know that for many families, this can cause a financial hardship. Please consider taking time to complete the Free and Reduced Lunch form linked below. Completing this form helps determine if our school qualifies for additional funding. Title One funding is used to support small class sizes, field trips, after-school activities, and professional development for teachers. While the form says Free and Reduced lunch, people who qualify, will also have their school fees waived. https://linqconnect.com/public/meal-application/new

Thanks,

Dear Families:

On Thursday, October 10th, staff members of Thompson School District will be in our building taking photographs of our students and school.

These photographs will be used by the district in upcoming advertisements, brochures and other marketing materials. A handful of the images taken throughout the district may also be prominently featured on the walls of the district administration office.

We are looking forward to showcasing the great work of our students. If you have any questions about this visit, please do not hesitate to contact me at 613-5011 or via e-mail at michael.hausmann@tsd.org.

Thank you for your support,

Mike Hausmann

Chief Communications Officer

Nutrition Services is excited to share that we have contracted with a new software company to manage our meal and application program. My School Bucks is no longer active, but the new software is called LINQ Connect and all student balances have been moved over. This program offers many new features that weren't available before. We're sure you're going to love it!

As a reminder, school meals are free for students this 2024-25 school year! We encourage everyone to complete a Free & Reduced application, as it provides benefits to you and the district such as grants, program funding and fee waivers.

Download LINQ Connect on App Store

For more information, please review these Frequently Asked Questions.

Do families still need to fill out the free and reduced meal benefits form?

YES! Families will still be asked to provide household income information on the new form for this school year. *All household income information is confidential and will not be shared without your consent.

WHY should I fill out a meal benefits form?

The HSMA program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on that income information to support meals for ALL students. Other state and federal grants for school are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates - this could mean more money for your school!

PLUS!

Families who qualify may receive discounted or waived school fees, sports fees, utilities support and more.

Can my student still bring lunch from home?

YES! Students are welcome to bring lunch.

You can now report your child's absence on the parent portal! See instructions below.

You can still call the school or attendance line to report absences as well!

Attendance Line: 970-613-6290

Wednesdays will continue to be a late start day. Students will be able to enter the building at 8:45 on Wednesdays. The final bell rings at 8:00. Students will be walked out our main entrance at the end of the day for a 3:10 dismissal.

Hug and Go

Our Hug and Go lane is located at the front of the school along 33rd. Please know that this lane is intended for quick drop off and pick up. We ask that parents utilizing the Hug and Go stay in their car and to have their students jump in and out of the car quickly. We appreciate your support in keeping the front of the school running safely!

The Kroger Family of Companies is committed to community engagement, positive social impact and charitable giving at the national and local levels. Every community is unique, but our common goal is to partner with the neighborhoods we serve and help the people there live healthier lives.

One of the ways in which we do this is through our King Soopers Community Rewards program. This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your Card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at King Soopers and swipe your Shopper’s Card.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create a digital account.

A digital account is needed to participate in King Soopers Community Rewards. If you already have a digital account, simply link your Shopper’s Card to your account so that all transactions apply toward the organization you choose.

2. Link your Card to an organization.

Selecting the organization that you wish to support is as simple as updating the King Soopers Community Rewards selection on your digital account.

• Sign in to your digital account.
• Search for your organization under community rewards-Lincoln Elementary School
• Select the appropriate organization from the list and click “Save”.

Your selected organization will also display in the King Soopers Community Rewards section of your account. If you need to review or revisit your organization, you can always do so under your Account details.

3. Your organization earns.

Any transactions moving forward using the Shopper’s Card number associated with your digital account will be applied to the program, at no added cost to you. King Soopers donates annually to participating organizations based on your percentage of spending as it relates to the total spending associated with all participating King Soopers Community Rewards organizations.

Please reach out with any questions! Happy Shopping!
