I'm Back!!! Thank you to everyone who helped out in my absence. Covid is behind me and I'm feeling great. I never imagined that when I tested positive on September 30, that I would take so long to recover. I was not great at staying on top of email or texts while I was sick, so please, if I have not responded to you about something, send me another message.
On another note, I am excited to say that this may be the last week of the Langley Avenue project. I'll keep you posted on drop off and pick up changes as we move forward.
Again, thank you,
Craig H.
Classroom Blogs
Our Lincoln School classroom teachers have important information to share with our families. Please click on your child's class below to view weekly updates.
Picture Re-Takes Next Friday, Oct. 22nd first thing in the morning in the gym. If you would like your child's picture re-taken, please return the picture package on re-take day. The same package will be ordered and delivered to the school once the re-takes are processed. Please also send your child's teacher an email letting her know your child will be getting retakes so that she is aware when the parent helper comes to the classroom to take students to the gym. Students do not always remember on their own.
Partnering with our students' families to ensure academic, social, and emotional growth is vital. Thank you for your commitment to meeting with your child's teacher to share successes and next steps. We value and appreciate you all.

Lory’s Place Peer Grief Support Group
We are so fortunate to have a resource like Lory’s Place here in our community! Our Lincoln School community is fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with Lory’s Place in order to provide a peer grief support group within the school setting.
Lory’s Place Group is a peer grief support group that is offered to our Lincoln School students who have experienced the loss of a significant person or people in their lives. This group is co-facilitated by Miss Von Behren, our school social worker, and a staff member from Lory’s Place. This group will meet once per month beginning in October and through the month of May for not any longer than one hour on Wednesdays. Should you and your child feel that this would be beneficial, please feel free to reach out to Melaina Von Behren: (269-926-3421) or bmvonbehren@sjschools.org.
