Lincoln School Update for Feb. 10-14, 2020

Wow! 100 days of learning and growing together already! It seems unbelievable that we've already surpassed the halfway point of the 2019-2020 school year.  Thank you for all of your support in helping our students stay focused on learning throughout the 
next few months of instruction. 

Flu Season
As you are probably aware, last week Lincoln's number of absent students (and staff) continued to climb due to illness.  Our lowest stats for the week still had us at 80% in attendance.  Each custodian in the district was contacted and are being extra diligent in disinfecting all touch points (desks, door handles, drinking fountains etc...).  Hopefully, this wave of virus will move on quickly, in the meantime, please discuss with your children the importance of hand-washing!
