THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!  THANK YOU!
A huge thank you to all of the parents who helped make Teacher Appreciation Week so successful.  Our teachers really felt the love and that is because of you!  We had over $1,000 in donated gift cards, hours of time spent providing recess relief, an absolutely delicious breakfast, and daily treats for our staff all because of you!  Our Lincoln staff is greatly appreciated and so are our parents!  We really have an extremely generous Lincoln Family!  Thank you for all of the ways you give back to our special community!

Schools of Choice
St. Joseph Public Schools will participate in the Schools of Choice program for the 2019-2020 school year. Applications for new enrollments will be accepted May 1-22 in the Superintendent's office. 

Application materials are posted online now and are also available in the Superintendent’s office at 3275 Lincoln Avenue. If you moved outside of the SJPS district boundaries this year or are attending under a Letter of Release from your resident district, please be sure you submit a SOC application. Enrollment is not guaranteed. If more applications are received than we have openings for, a lottery drawing will be held. Please contact our school office with any questions. 

  

Kindergarten Screening & Registration

Young 5s and Kindergarten Fall 2019
Kindergarten Screening will take place on June 11th and 12th at Lincoln School. If you attended Kindergarten Round-Up in March, your child will be scheduled for an appointment for one of these days. If you have an incoming Kindergarten or Y5 student and you have not given your child's information to Mrs. Trumbley or Mrs. Eichberg, please contact the office as soon as possible to ensure your child gets an appointment scheduled.

Enrollment paperwork can be turned into the office as soon as it is completed. It is our goal to have all of the enrollment paperwork collected BEFORE the screening dates in June.
