Lincoln School News for January 13-17, 2020


BE ON TIME!
One of the best things you can do to help support your child is to get them to school on time!  That means having your child here by 8:20 at the VERY LATEST.  Our line-up bell rings at 8:23am.

I am getting many questions about the streets around Lincoln and the trees that have been removed.  This is all part of a large street renewal project through the City of St. Joseph and will result in better (safer) parking around Lincoln and will include planting of some new trees to replace ones that had begun to damage water lines, drainage and sidewalks.  Below is a sketch for Orchard Avenue, the majority of this work will take place over the summer.
