2/13 LIncoln log

Lincoln Families,

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! Whether you’re cheering for Los Angeles, Cincinnati or just tuning in for the commercials and halftime show, I hope you enjoy the time gathered with your family or friends for the big game! 

Happy Valentine’s Day. Tomorrow we are excited for our kids to exchange valentines with their friends. While there will be no Kindergarten Concert or formal classroom parties, our teachers will be sure to infuse some fun valentine activities into the day. Please note that there should be no food or candy attached to valentines. 

Along those same lines Thursday, February 27 is National Random Acts of Kindness Day. At LIncoln, there is no easier way to spread kindness than to share some   Lincoln Love During these turbulent times our kids continue to look to the adults for reassurance and guidance and while there are no easy answers or solutions, kindness and respect of others remains the constant force that has the power to keep us unified as a school community, so please join me in spreading some Lincoln Love .

The registration window is now officially open for enrollment of kindergartners for the 22-23 school year. Please visit the District 90 Website for all information related to Kindergarten Registration.

Believe it or not, spring conferences will take place in less than a month. As referenced in the D90 Weekly Update, the portal to sign up for conferences is officially open and will close on Monday, February 28th at 10pm. For grades PreK-4, please click this link: K-4 Spring Conference Sign Up.

Although cases of Covid-19 seem to be trending in a positive direction, it is important that we continue to do our part to prevent future outbreaks, so  please remember that regardless of vaccination status, it is essential for families to contact Ms. Godellas of any positive Covid-19 cases within your family or if your child has been identified as a close-contact to someone with Covid-19. Your partnership is paramount in our continued efforts to keep Lincoln School safe and keeping our schools open. Please reach out to Ms. Godellas or myself if you have any questions. 

Finally, don’t forget that there will be no school on Monday, February 21 and Tuesday, February 22. Classes will resume on Wednesday, February 23.

As always, thank you for your continued support of Lincoln. Enjoy the Super Bowl, the final week of the Olympics, Valentines Day and the upcoming Presidents Day Weekend. Please never hesitate to reach out if there is anything more we can do to support your kids and family. Have a great week.
