Lexia Core 5 Comes to Lincoln School!
We are excited to announce that Lexia Core 5 is being implemented
at our school.  This program offers a comprehensive platform
for practicing key reading skills in a self-leveling and engaging way
for students.   Lexia promises to be a key component of our ongoing
focus on reading - especially helping our students grow individually
toward their goals.  A few students got to try it out last week at our
school and they report really liking it.  Teachers will start their training

this week and it will be in every classroom before long.  
We can’t wait to get started!

Annual Gym & Swim
Once a year, the high school opens up its field house and swimming pool for elementary families to come and enjoy.  This is NOT a drop off activity, it is a time for the whole family to come and play frisbee, basketball, soccer, swim etc...  The date is Friday, January 19 and the time is from 6:00-8:00pm.



Weather Delays & Cancellations

In the event of inclement weather, notifications about school closures or delays will be sent via School Messenger and will be posted with local media outlets. Please be sure we have your most current contact information on file in the school office. All evening events are canceled if school is closed for the day.

Two hour delays are similar to late start days, except everything runs two hours late and there are no supervised activities for students before school.
