Kindergarten Round-Up
It's time to learn about Young 5s and Kindergarten for Fall of 2017.  Our parent only meeting will be held on Thursday, March 9 at Lincoln School at 7:00 pm.  Feel free to email me with any questions.  

Upcoming Report Cards
As our 2nd trimester comes to an end, I wanted to be sure to inform you of some changes regarding our report card.
Report cards have been changed in the area of math to be reflective of our work to clarify what we want students to know and be able to do.  (We refer to these as essential standards)
In some cases/grade levels, report card standards from first trimester remain and you will see cumulative progress for second trimester.
In many cases/grade levels, the standards for second trimester are new, replacing standards from first trimester.  In this case, you will not see any cumulative progress.

Spring Book Fair
Coming to Lincoln School March 13th - 17th.  Be on the lookout for more information about our March 14th Sleep Tight Story Time.

PTO International Night
Information will be coming home soon for families to host a table at our International Night here at Lincoln School on Friday, March 24 from 5-7 pm.  Please be on the lookout for this information, and consider sharing your heritage/culture with our Lincoln School Family.
