Dear Parents/Guardians,
Thank you to our School Counselor, Mrs. Soriano, for coordinating the “Week of Respect” this past week at Lincoln School. “Respect” is also our Core Value for the month of October. Activities, classroom lessons, and dress-up days helped to bring the school together to recognize respect for self, respect for others, and respect for our school community. We concluded our Week of Respect today with a terrific Schoolwide Morning Meeting centered around this theme. I see so many examples each and every day of respect here at school - keep it up Lincoln Lions!
Thank you to Mrs. McCahill, Mrs. Pasquariello, our Lincoln PTO, and all of our parent volunteers and staff for assisting us with this year’s Fall Book Fair. We had a terrific response to the Fair. There is nothing better than getting new and exciting books in the hands of our students. Keep reading, Lincoln Lions!
The first “Wyckoff Connected Parent Night” of the school year will be held on October 22nd here at Lincoln School. The workshop, entitled Leaping Forward as Literacy Learners: Supporting your Kindergartener at Home, will be led by Lincoln Reading Specialist Mrs. Barbieri and Lincoln Kindergarten Teacher Mrs. Lacasse. This session is intended for the parents of Kindergarten students looking to support their child’s growth in emergent literacy. Please click here to view the flyer.

Looking ahead to the end of the month, the Halloween parade will be held on Friday, October 31st, at 2:30 pm. Parts of the costume that can be safely worn, and allow students to engage in learning, participate in recess/PE, and use the restroom, may be worn to school in the morning. Other costume attachments and accessories, or costumes that cannot be easily and comfortably worn throughout the day, should be brought in a bag and students may change prior to the parade. Please be mindful of appropriate and safe costumes, and note that toy guns, knives, weapons, etc., are not permitted. We hope you can join us for this fun tradition here at Lincoln School!
Speaking of Halloween, the Lincoln School Girl Scout Troop is hosting a Halloween Costume Drive. Donations may be dropped off int he vestibule at Lincoln through Friday, October 17th. Click here for details.
