Halloween - Thursday, October 31
All kids can dress up. Be mindful of costumes and especially those that require make-up. We are asking that kids are dressed up all day so simple is best. Children may want to go without the make-up or the bulky parts of their costumes for school. Young 5/Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd Grades will have Maker Stations in the morning. Parties will be at various times and will be scheduled by classroom teachers. All parents are welcome to attend the parade which will be (weather permitting) outside. The parade will begin at 3:20pm and parents may check their kids out with the classroom teacher after the parade.
LINCOLN SCHOOL MATH CENTER 2019-20
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Math Center is a one-a-week Math program that promotes fluency and proficiency for students in grades 1-5.
Math Center depends on parent volunteers to make this program successful. Volunteers go into the classrooms and administer timed tests to students at their individual level.
You do not need to be a “whiz” at math. Tests are administered, then checked with provided answer keys.
Classroom visits begin at 8:40am and continue until around 11:00am.
Parent volunteers will have the opportunity to work their child’s classroom at some time during the morning.
Your participation in Math Center is much appreciated.
Volunteers must complete a volunteer consent form. The form can be obtained in the school office or downloaded from the link below.
Please turn the form into the office or scan it and email it to jwhite@sjschools.org. This form must be approved by our business office before you can volunteer.
