Student Illness Guidance
Because we are in the "high" transmission level in the county at this time, students exhibiting symptoms which are strong indicators of COVID-19 (temperature over 100.4 or feeling feverish/chills, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose/congestion, muscle or body aches, headaches, fatigue, vomiting and/or diarrhea, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, new loss of taste or smell) must stay home for 10 days, unless a negative COVID-19 test result or a doctor’s note stating the student may return to school is provided to school authorities.


This information, as well as additional guidance, can be located on the COVID-19 Tab on our District website. 

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.

Bear Packs
As a reminder, 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 complete the form below and return to the school office no later than September 29th.

Positivity Project (P2)
We are proud to have joined over 560 schools across the nation who have made the commitment to empower our youth by explicitly teaching and discussing the 24 character strengths during daily class meetings. The family letter linked here will explain more about this partnership. Thank you for taking a look.
