Student Pick-up

We encourage everyone to pick up your student on school grounds. However, if your students are picked up off school grounds, please remind them to be respectful, and ensure they are not waiting on, playing on, or disturbing the neighbors’ property.  

To ensure students are properly supervised after school, we will have all students in the back move to the front of the school if they are not picked up before 2:45.  If you pick up your students in the back of the school and arrive after 2:45, the gates will be closed, and your student will be in the front of the school waiting for you.

SAGE INTERIM TESTING

Lincoln Academy students will be taking the SAGE Interim test starting November 16th. This is a test designed to identify your student's progress so far this year. Teachers will have immediate results and use these scores to re-teach your students concepts that they have yet to master. The SAGE Interim is much shorter than the end of the year SAGE test. This test will only take 30-40 minutes per subject.

Your teacher will be letting you know these testing dates so you can help prepare your students.

Parent/Admin Meeting on Assessment

We will be meeting at 8:00 on November 12th in the library to share more about the assessments we use at Lincoln Academy. This is a great time to learn about SAGE Interim, end of year SAGE, NWEA, common assessments given in class, formative assessment taking place regularly, and the impact this has on your student's education.

As November is the month to be grateful for our blessings, I must say thank you to all of our Parent Council chair members for the work they do within each of their committees. You are all amazing!  

Thank you to all the families who have donated $35 to our mobile technology fundraiser. We are still collecting donations. It's not too late to send your donation in to the finance office. Thank you so much for all your generosity both with time and resources. It all makes Lincoln Academy a wonderful place for our students to learn. 

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving."

A HUGE thank you to all those that participated in the Inspirations Art Competition this year! We had 117 entries and each of you have been entered into our raffle.

The judging will take place this weekend, and the Awards Night and raffle drawing will be Thursday, November 12th at 6:30 PM in the elementary gym. Bring your friends and family! The top two from each age group and category will receive a medal and have their submissions move on to compete at the regional level.

Raffle Prizes all donated by our Community:

The teacher appreciation committee has extended the timeline for families to donate $5 towards junior high teacher gifts.  We will accept donations at the front desk until November 20th as we have not received much yet.  The reason we are trying to collect early this year is so that we can make purchases during the holidays to get deals and make the best use of our funds.

We are also looking for massage therapists that would be willing to donate their time to give our teachers chair massages in March for teacher appreciation week.  If you are interested or know of anyone, please contact me at: bluejenmom@gmail.com

Thank you!

HEALTH WEEK is THIS WEEK!

November 9-13

Get excited to help your student(s) have healthy habits this week!

Today your student will be bringing home a Health Week Challenge Chart.  Please hang it somewhere in your home where it can be seen easily! Help them mark off each healthy habit they accomplish each day, and sign it at the end of the week.  

The next Monday, November 16, they need to turn in their Challenge Chart to their teachers.  

We want to express a huge THANK YOU to all of the parents who were willing to help drive to the super I-Excel Activity.  Without you the kids could not go!

The Parent Council hosts Dollar Dress Days on the first Wednesday of each month. Students bring a dollar for the option to wear free dress.

Students are encouraged to earn their own dollar to pay for their free dress option.

The restaurant fundraiser this month will be held at Arby’s in Lindon (in the Walmart parking lot) on Tuesday, November 17^th.  Don’t forget to mention Lincoln Academy when you order!
