Can you believe it...we are nearing the end of the 2024 year! Our last day of school before Winter Break is December 19th. Classes will resume January 6, 2025!

There will be a lot of upcoming events at Lincoln these next few days before heading into winter break. Please continue to read below for all the amazing things Lincoln will be doing.

Lastly, I want to remind everyone that Lincoln holds student safety as our highest priority. In order to exercise an abundance of caution, we will NOT be allowing Treats or candies from parents during the school hours. Please do not send treats of any kind during the Holiday Season. I appreciate your support in this manner.

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

Dream It...

Sincerely,

Mrs. Perry

The Ontario-Montclair School District Special Education Local Plan (SELPA) and Equity Division is excited to present Loving Solutions Parent Workshop Series. This is tailored for parents of students with exceptional needs between the ages of 5-10 exhibiting challenging behaviors. The workshop will be held in English and Spanish. The workshops will be a series of 10 sessions, and all 10 sessions are required for participation. Call 909-418-6422 to register or scan the code below.

As a reminder, we open our school library before school even starts. This is a time where you can drop your children off early before our gates actually open. Students can use this time to complete homework, read, take quizzes, research, and so much more. Take advantage of this opportunity. See below for additional information.

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.

December: SOCIAL AWARENESS: Perspective-Taking and Empathy

During the month of December, your child’s SEL instruction will focus on Social Awareness to develop perspective-taking and empathy skills when working with others. Conflict is a normal part of life, and happens between friends, siblings, children, and parents. Effective conflict resolution keeps relationships intact. Students will learn they can reach positive agreements and strengthen their relationships with others.

January: SOCIAL AWARENESS: Appreciating Diversity and Respect for Others

During the month of January, your child’s SEL instruction will dive deeper into Social Awareness to appreciate diversity in backgrounds and cultures and have respect for others. Students will learn the ability to understand social and ethical norms for behavior and to recognize family, school, and community resources and support.

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.

Health & Wellness Services are available to support and meet the needs of all students within the Ontario-Montclair School District. Through our site Outreach Consultant, Lincoln provides a continuum of supports for our students and families. This includes:

· Case Management for basic need resources such as food, clothing, shoes, and housing referrals

· Mental Health and Counseling Services

· Physical Health Services

· Crisis Intervention for individuals in need of the most intensive support

· Homeless Services (McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Act) for students and families experiencing homelessness or are in transition

All services are free to OMSD students and their families. Please contact J Tovar @ (909) 983-9803. Mr. Tovar can also be reached at j.tovar@omsd.net.
