Carpool
Thank you all for your continued patience and cooperation during carpool as the school year kicks off. We understand your frustration as we all get into the swing of a new year and we want to offer a few simple reminders as we continue through the year.
Please be considerate of the surrounding private property. This means maintaining speed regulations and taking care that we respect the personal space of the local residential area. Please keep in mind the public's access to their mailboxes, trash pickup services, and emergency vehicle designated areas.
Be extra careful when entering the parking lot and the entire time you are in the carpool line. Do your best to remove distractions and to watch carefully for the aids who are helping to maintain the flow of carpool traffic and especially the students that are trying to leave campus. Drive slowly and please be patient so as to avoid making a tragic mistake.
We appreciate you and all you do to make this experience as efficient as possible.
Add The Calendar
One of the best tips we can give you is to stay up to date with the Lincoln Academy calendar. Although your students are fantastic, they don't always make the best middle men when it comes to upcoming events at school.
If you don't want to miss things like picture days or online days, be sure to be looking ahead. The calendar also shows sports, teacher conferences, and everything else you don't want to miss. Make sure to view it here or see it on the home page of the website.
Picture Day
As you may have heard, picture day is on Wednesday. Tell Siri to set a reminder now unless you want a truly memorable picture day. Wednesday doesn't work out? Don't sweat it, retakes will be on Oct. 17th.
Use the link below to order pictures online. Use code 80829SA to order.
Online Day
Online day is coming up this Friday! What this means is:
- Your student will NOT be on campus
- Your student will access their school work from Canvas
- You may have to reach out to your student's teacher for more information (Contact teachers here)
PARENTS: It is very important that your student is able to log onto Canvas. If you are having trouble please contact the office for help with getting your student logged in. If once you log in you have questions about content please contact your student’s teacher. You can visit the staff directory for contact information.
Lunches will not be made on Friday, even if you placed them on your lunch order for the week. You will not be charged for this day, but lunch will not be available.
We hope this day offers flexibility and a different way for students to interact with their learning material. Parents, please hold your students accountable for their education, and help them understand their responsibility for completing their online assignments. The assignments will be graded the same as if they were in person and are to be taken seriously. Thank you for your commitment to this, and we hope you have a great week.
Holiday (Labor day)
Next Monday, Sep. 4th, students DO NOT need to come to campus for classes that day. Enjoy the long weekend!
