Programming the Office Number

Please consider programming our Lincoln School Office phone number (269-926-3701) into your contacts. We have heard from several families that cell phone carriers may be suggesting our number is "spam" and therefore important calls are being sent to voicemail. Thank you for your help with this, contacting you is essential. 

Universal Masking Requirement
Our Return to Learn Plan requires that all students, staff members, and visitors wear a mask while inside the school environment, regardless of vaccination status, at this time. This includes our adult-only Back to School Night event. Thank you, in advance, for your adherence to this safety protocol. 

Please note that gaiters, face shields, and bandannas are not approved face coverings. For more information, please visit the FAQ guide from BCHD linked here for more information.

Bear Packs

Our school is partnering with First Congregational Church to offer “Bear Packs”, a weekend supply of nutritious meals and snacks for children in need, free of charge. The program runs all school year long and is available to all Lincoln School students, as well as their siblings. It’s our hope that these resources will support the well-being and achievement of every student who is a part of this program. 

Enrollment is confidential. Only the school administrators and individual classroom teachers know which children are participating. The Bear Packs will be distributed each week in a discreet and caring manner.

If you would like your child/children to participate in the program, please print and complete the form below and return to the school office no later than September 29th. Forms will also be distributed at Back to School Night, or will be sent home if you are unable to attend that evening.
