Dear Lincoln School Community,

We had a wonderful first two days at Lincoln School, with students and staff reconnecting as a school family and our students becoming acclimated with their new grade levels. Students have acclimated well to the new school year, and are excited about being back together. Routines are being established, and a positive and supportive classroom community is being formed. Great job to all of our Lincoln Lions on a terrific start to the year!  

Please note that Back to School Night is scheduled for Tuesday, September 19th, beginning at 6:30 pm. Details on the evening will be shared soon. Additionally, we invite parents to join us at our upcoming PTO meeting this Thursday, September 14th, at 9:15 am here at Lincoln School.

As a reminder, the Wyckoff Education Foundation is hosting their first ever “Color Run” tomorrow at Eisenhower Middle School. Registration is still accepted tomorrow, beginning at 9:30 am, and the run begins at 11:00 am. I hope to see many of you there, where you can see me get “blasted” with color!

Our online "Friday Folder" is a depository of important notices, flyers, and letters from the school and Wyckoff community. Please be sure to check the list of Friday Folder documents, which is included in each weekly E-Blast, and carefully read those that are pertinent to you and your child(ren). There is a link in each E-Blast to the electronic Friday Folder, which can also be accessed at any time through the Lincoln School website. If you need hard copies of any document on the Friday Folder, do not hesitate to reach out to the front office and we will be happy to print them for you.

Please see the information below, entitled “Subscribing to the Lincoln School Calendar,” for information on how to add the calendar from the website to your mobile phone or other device. 

As you know, timely and consistent attendance at school is crucial to your child’s academic, social, and emotional success. As a parent myself, I certainly understand that some absences and tardies are, of course, unavoidable; however, please make every effort to have your child on time for school and ready to learn. We are here to partner together with you, so please reach out to me, your child’s teacher, or Nurse Doidge should you have any questions regarding your child’s attendance and how we can work together to support them here at school. 

On Monday, September 11th, Lincoln School students and staff are invited to wear red, white, and blue in recognition of Patriot Day. Each and every day, and this weekend in particular, we think of those that dedicate their lives in service to others. We honor, and remember, those who lost their lives on September 11th, and keep in our thoughts all who were affected. 

Thank you again to you, your children, and the Lincoln staff for a great start to the school year. Have a wonderful weekend!

Sincerely,


Patrick Lee
Principal
