Message to Families
Greetings Tiger Families!
I hope that everyone has had a joyful holiday season. As we embark on the second half of the 2023-2024 school year, I am looking forward to continued opportunities for our students to learn and grow with our wonderful Lincoln staff. This month we are offering several learning opportunities for parents to participate in (see calendar below). Also, we will host our first Bullying Prevention Town Hall on Thursday, January 18th from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m.. The Town Hall will be an opportunity for parents, staff, adminstration, and our community partners to come together and have open dialogue regarding bullying and partner together to be proactive in addressing bullying concerns at Lincoln. We hope to see you at our parent events this month!
Thank you for your continued partnerships and support,
Natalie Bako, Principal
Important Information Regarding Food Service
We are aware of the operational challenges currently affecting our meal service. Rest assured, we have been actively collaborating with our food service management company to promptly resolve these issues. Your understanding and patience during this process are greatly appreciated.
Bathroom Vandalism
We have experienced some recent bathroom vandalism. Students have strewn toilet paper around the boys and girls restroom. Also, we have had students try to knock faucets off of the sinks. There has been writing on the walls and stall doors as well. Please speak with your children regarding vandalism. Students should report vandalism as soon as they see it. Thank you!
