ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Dear Lincoln Families,
Please help us ensure that all our students are present at school every day and stay all day as we finish this year strong! Regular attendance not only supports academic success but also helps students build a sense of community and belonging.
Thank you for your partnership in your child’s success!
Ms. Guerrero
WINTER WEATHER REMINDER
As the colder weather settles in, we want to remind everyone of the importance of dressing students appropriately to stay warm and safe during outdoor recess. On snowy days or when there is snow on the ground, students who wish to play in the field will need to wear winter boots and snow pants. If students do not have these items, they will need to remain on the blacktop to stay safe and dry.
Thank you for helping us keep our students warm and comfortable during this winter season. We appreciate your support!
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE DOCTOR OR DENTIST APPOINTMENTS?
WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE FAMILY VACATIONS?
SCHEDULING DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS AFTER SCHOOL & SCHEDULING FAMILY VACATIONS
We kindly ask that, whenever possible, doctor and dentist appointments be scheduled after school hours. Additionally, we encourage families to plan vacations during non-attendance days to ensure students can be present at school every day. Regular attendance is so important to help our students stay on track and succeed academically.
Thank you for your support in making daily attendance a priority. We appreciate all that you do to help your child thrive!
WINTER SPIRIT WEEK
We are excited to announce that Winter Spirit Week will take place from Monday, December 16, to Friday, December 20! Please see the attached flyer for details on how students can show their school spirit each day next week.
We can’t wait to see everyone participate and celebrate together!

MY STOP SCHOOL BUS TRACKING APP
Versatrans My Stop™ helps parents and guardians of U-46 students who ride the bus track the location of their child's bus.
Here are step-by-step instructions on how to download the app to your smartphone, sign in, and navigate the app.
BREAKFAST & LUNCH
During the 2024-2025 school year, all U-46 students will continue to be offered breakfast, and lunch at no cost. Please see the breakfast, and lunch menus here.
We encourage students to arrive on time to have breakfast before the start of school. Students who arrive after the bell will be offered a Grab & Go breakfast.
