The Lincoln Leopard Link

Hello Lincoln Families,

Happy fall! This is such a magical time at schools as we really start to settle into the season! Many grade levels are planning activities that we hope you can be a part of.

As a reminder, please take the time to complete the Free and Reduced lunch form linked here. Completion of this form helps to determine if our school qualifies for additional funding. Title One funding is used to support small class sizes, field trips, after school activities, and professional development for teachers. While the form says Free and Reduced lunch, people who qualify, will also have their school fees waived. If you would like to know more about what it means to have a Title One identification, please see the presentation attached here.

The new Healthy School Meals for All program begins in August for the 23-24 school year. The HSMA program provides FREE meals for ALL students regardless of income

Do families need to fill out the free and reduced meal benefits form?

YES! Those who qualify may receive discounted or waived school fees, utilities support and more. Click on the "share information" for the school to be able to waive these fees automatically.

WHY should I fill out a meal benefits form?

The HSMA program is funded in partnership with federal nutrition programs that rely on that income information to support meals for ALL students. Other state and federal grants for school are awarded based on free and reduced meal eligibility rates - this could mean more money for your school!

Can my student still bring lunch from home?

YES! Students are welcome to bring lunch.

The Kroger Family of Companies is committed to community engagement, positive social impact and charitable giving at the national and local levels. Every community is unique, but our common goal is to partner with the neighborhoods we serve and help the people there live healthier lives.

One of the ways in which we do this is through our King Soopers Community Rewards program. This program makes fundraising easy by donating to local organizations based on the shopping you do every day. Once you link your Card to an organization, all you have to do is shop at King Soopers and swipe your Shopper’s Card.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create a digital account.

A digital account is needed to participate in King Soopers Community Rewards. If you already have a digital account, simply link your Shopper’s Card to your account so that all transactions apply toward the organization you choose.

Our Hug and Go lane is located at the front of the school along 33rd. Please know that this lane is intended for quick drop off and pick up. We ask that parents utilizing the Hug and Go stay in their car and to have their students jump in and out of the car quickly. We appreciate your support in keeping the front of the school running safely!
