            Let’s Keep Lincoln Safe & Respectful

            We kindly ask all families to help keep our school community safe and respectful during drop-off and pick-up. Please drive slowly through school zones, follow carpool procedures, and stay in designated areas to avoid blocking traffic or driveways. We’ve also noticed some students leaving trash, picking up rocks, or walking through nearby yards. We ask for your help in reminding your children to respect the homes and property around our school. Let’s all work together to keep our neighborhood clean, safe, and welcoming for everyone. Thank you for your continued support!

            Carpool Safety

            We are always concerned about the safety of our students.  Please make sure that during carpool, you are following speed limits on the roads and in the parking lot, watching for students who are walking, and following our carpool procedures.  We appreciate your diligence in helping our students stay safe. 

            Applying for 26-27 school year

            Your referral is our greatest compliment. Applications are now open for the 26/27  School year. Please let your family and friends know that now is the time to apply for the Lottery in February. This is for NEW students; you do not need to apply for siblings of current students.

            Lincoln Academy Sponsorship

            The sponsor program partners families and businesses with school classrooms/programs to enhance learning. Sponsors provide funds to classrooms/programs that provide hands-on learning experiences, field trips, children’s educational magazines, and learning opportunities.
            Lincoln Academy has a long history of individuals donating time as well as money to help our school become great! We love partnering with families and businesses to sponsor classrooms at Lincoln. Whether this is a monetary donation or volunteering in classrooms, we can’t operate without you. If you choose to be a class sponsor, your family name and/or business logo will be displayed on our TVs. Also, any donation is tax-deductible. Each classroom relies on a $500 sponsorship, which has been donated as a whole amount, or we have had families donate partial amounts. Sponsoring a class is a great option for families to partner with Lincoln when they don’t have the time to volunteer regularly.

            If you are interested in being a part of our sponsor program or have any questions, please get in touch with me at jchristensen@lincoln-academy.org. We are extremely grateful for any donation that is given.

            Thank you to everyone who has donated to Lincoln Academy, including our anonymous donors.

            Your generosity has not gone unnoticed. We truly appreciate your support!

            Not Finding What You Need?
            We want to make communication between our school and our parents as seamless as possible. If there are any events or details that have been missed, please let us know below! *Please include your email if you expect a response.

            Thank You All and Good Luck!
