Lincoln School News for Dec. 11-15, 2017

Announcements
Well, Welcome Winter!!!   Just a reminder that students will need boots and snow pants to play off of the back top or equipment area on the playground.  If you are having trouble getting these items, please let me know.  I would be happy to help.  We do go outside if the temperature if above 9℉ including windchill.  Please make sure students are dressed for the weather AND label everything.


Extended Learning Opportunities

Extended learning opportunities are planned throughout the day to support students’ academic, social and emotional growth. These experiences are offered to students based on teacher recommendation and may be facilitated by other teachers, our learning support team members (Title 1 or Learning + Team) or our school social worker, Mrs. Colette Jasiak.  If you would prefer that your child not participate in these types of experiences, please contact the building principal.

Released Time Bible Class
Released Time Bible Class is based on a Michigan law that requires public schools to release children, who have written parental permission, to attend religious instruction classes at a nearby location.  RBM Ministries is hosting these release times for the 2017-2018 school year and will hold classes at Oakridge Baptist Church on January 18, February 5, March 5 and April 9 from 10:00-11:15am.  If you are intersted in having your child attend, please have them pick up a permission slip in the office.

Ice Skating on Thursday

We assume that everyone will attend unless we receive notice from the child's home that they are not to attend.  Here is the schedule:
