Dear Lincoln Families,

Can you believe we are already done with one month of school. Students have been working hard at learning our R.O.A.R expectations. R.O.A.R. stands for Responsible, Organized, Accountable, and Respectful. To see our R.O.A.R school matrix, please continue reading below. Did you know you can reinforce R.O.A.R at home. I encourage you to have conversations with your children and ask them the following:

1. How can you show you are RESPONSIBLE at home?

2. How can you be ORGANIZED at home?

3. How can you be ACCOUNTABLE at home?

4. How can you be RESPECTFUL at home?

These expectations are taught and modeled on a daily basis. We are encouraging positive behaviors and setting students up to be positive role models. Please work with us on these expectations.

Lastly, Lincoln Elementary is in need of parents to serve on our School Site Council. School Site Council- (SSC) consists of 10 representatives. 3 "Teachers", 1 "Other Staff", 5 "Parents" and the Principal. The Lincoln Elementary School Site Council needs 5 parents to serve as a representative for the 2024-2025 AND 2025-2026 school years. The School Site Council works as a team with the administration, staff and parents in making important decisions about school programs and proposed expenditures for the year. School Site Council meetings are at Lincoln Elementary School. Each member serves a two-year term. The parents will sit in between 4-5 meetings a school year. The first SSC meeting is scheduled for September 25th , 2024. If you would like to nominate yourself or another parent, please complete this nomination form. Once we receive the nominations, then we will hold a vote and send out a ballot. Please read below for access to the nomination form. I look forward to working with you.

Thank you for your support and dedication. Together Everyone Achieves More #TEAM

Dream it...Believe it...Achieve it...

Sincerely,

Mrs. Perry

Lincoln Elementary School is making a point to teach Social Emotional Lessons to all students. Each day, teachers spend 20-30 minutes teaching Social-Emotional Lessons and checking in with students.

September: SELF-AWARENESS: Recognizing Strengths, Self-Confidence, and Self-Efficacy

During the month of September, your child’s SEL instruction will dive deeper into Self-Awareness focusing on recognizing strengths, self-confidence, and self-efficacy skills. Students will learn to make positive self-statements and understand their mental and physical response to the world around them based on their own experiences.

October: SELF-MANAGEMENT: Mindfulness and Stress Management

During the month of October, your child’s SEL instruction will focus on Self-Management skills learning about mindfulness practices and stress management. Stress can affect health, behavior, thoughts, and feelings. Recognizing and developing strategies for managing stress in healthy ways can lead to life-long physical and psychological well-being. This month, students will engage in activities to help them effectively regulate their emotions, control impulses, and manage stress. These activities help build emotional awareness, reflection, and calming skills.

Parents are invited to attend the meetings of the School Site Council (SSC), GATE, Special Education, and Site English Learner Parent Advisory Council (SELPAC) scheduled several times per year. Flyers and Class Dojo announcements are sent home several days before each meeting.

Lincoln's SARC (School Accountability Report Card) and SPSA (School Plan for Student Achievement) are available on our website, but parents may request a hard copy from the school office. Our Parent Involvement Policy and Parent Compact are both included in our handbook.
