5/13 Lincoln Log
It is hard to believe, but it’s time to start marking your calendars for a few of our exciting annual end of the year celebrations. I look forward to celebrating this incredible school year with each of you at these upcoming events:
Friday, June 1 @ 6:00PM – Lincoln School Ice Cream Social
Friday, June 8 – Last Day of School

Finally, District 90 is seeking your participation in the Education for the Future survey. Created by California State University, the survey is designed to help school districts assess student, family, and staff perceptions about the functioning of schools as well as their processes and practices. Your insights will help the District understand the conditions in District 90 schools and guide ongoing improvement efforts. All of the surveys are anonymous and confidential.
As always, thank you so much for your continued support of our Fine Fine School. Please never hesitate to reach out if there is anything more I can do to support your kids and your family. Have a great week. CG

The mission of the PTO is to support and enhance the education of the children at Lincoln School. But without input, ideas and support from the families at Lincoln, fulfilling this mission is not possible. There is a lot you can do for the PTO and for Lincoln School whether you are a working parent or a stay at home parent. Volunteer opportunities are available for events taking place at school during the week or on weekends. And opportunities are available for you to work from the comfort of your own home while younger children nap. Thank you for your continued support of the Lincoln PTO!
Important messages from your School Nurse
Please remember during cold and flu season to keep your child home if they are sick. If they have a fever they need to be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication before they can return to school. If they are vomiting and/or have diarrhea, make sure it has been at least 24 hours since the last episode before returning to school. If your child has an excessively runny nose or cannot stop coughing, it may be a good idea to keep them home. This is to protect your child from catching something if their immune system is down, as well as to protect the other students and staff. Thank you for doing your part to keep everyone at Lincoln School healthy.
