Parent Teacher Conference

September 16^th; 3:00-8:00
September 17^th; 3:00-6:00

Elementary Parents- Sign up in the office to visit with your teacher on these nights.  Sign-ups will be available starting September 8th in the front office.

Junior High Parents- All teachers will be available in the Junior High Gym.  Make sure you bring a list of your student's teachers and then you can choose which order you would like to see them.  Please understand that parent teacher conferences are for short visits.  These visits should last 5 minutes or less.  If you have significant concerns please schedule an appointment at another time.

Patriot Day- September 11th

It has been a tradition at Lincoln Academy for us to wear best dress on September 11th. Most boys come in a shirt and tie and girls come in a skirt or dress. Over the years our focus has changed from those who died on September 11th, to those who have given their lives to preserve our freedom throughout history.  Your student may choose to dress up or wear a school uniform on this day.  

School Access

If you want to enter the school after school begins, you need to come through the front doors.  Other doors are locked during school hours.

Thanks for your support!

The money raised this year will be used to purchase a new marquee for the front of the junior high building so everyone will know what is going on at the school.  The money will also help run the programs that Parent Council oversees - reading, health week, Inspirations, emergency preparedness, and teacher appreciation.

Please help us make Lincoln even better this year by supporting this Parent Council fundraiser.  The Parent Council will have a table set up at our school movie night on September 26 where we will collect cash, checks, or credit card payments (credit cards will be charged a 3% convenience charge).  We will also be sending home a letter and envelope addressed to Lincoln in a few weeks so you can put your money in the envelope and drop it in the mail.  You may also drop your donation off at the front desk at any time, please just make sure they know it is for the Parent Council. 

We thank you for your support and look forward to a great year at Lincoln Academy!  If you have any questions or you are interested in helping with the Parent Council this year, please contact us.

We thought it'd be fun to go when we can see lots of Lincoln friends!  But if that time doesn't work for you, come anytime for lunch, after-school snack, or dinner.  It's just a special time when they've scheduled extra workers just for us!

Be sure to fill out your teacher's name on the fundraiser paper, too! Let's see which class gets the most participation and wins a free dress day!

 

If your child has allergies to any of the following: soy, peanuts, almonds or pecans you will need to provide an alternative snack for their emergency food supply.  If your child is a diabetic please include some sugar-free candy in their Ziploc as well.  The emergency kits have a small supply of hard candy for the teachers to distribute, and if your child cannot have any of this candy you will want to supply some for them.  

Elementary students:  Please pack 2 small snack items in a single Ziploc sandwich or quart size bag, with the child's name and the words "Emergency Preparedness" on it and deliver it to their teacher.

Jr. High students:  Please pack 8 snacks bags, 7 if your child has released time. 2 small snack items in each of the 8/7 Ziploc sandwich or quart size bags, with the child's name and the words "Emergency Preparedness" on them and deliver them to each of their teachers. Mid year they will be reminded to switch their snack bags to their new classes.

Thank you,
Staci Hardy

Preparedness Chair
