Traffic Safety

An ongoing problem in front of our school is traffic before and after school. If each of us takes responsibility for our actions we can make it safer for all students.

A few things to remember:

*Please pull to the side of the street when dropping off or picking up students.
*Cross in crosswalks and follow instructions of the safety patrol.
*U-turns are always unsafe during high traffic times.
*Parking lots are for staff parking only, not for drop off or pick up of students. Children should not be walking or running through the parking lots.

Uniform Policy

Lincoln Acres School Uniform Policy

Must be Navy Blue Pants, Shorts, or Skirts. Skirts and shorts must be appropriate length.

If Leggings are worn they must also be navy blue. Tights may be white or navy blue.

*No layering of shirts with different colors. Shirts may be white over white or navy blue over navy blue but not mixed.

- Students may wear Timber Wolf shirts and jackets any day of the week.

If you have gently used uniforms you would like to donate, please bring them to the office.

If you need help with uniforms, assistance is available through the office.

STUDENTS WHO REPEATEDLY VIOLATE THE UNIFORM POLICY WILL BE GIVEN DETENTION

Attendance

STUDENTS WHO ARRVE LATE DURING TESTING WILL HAVE TO TEST ON ANOTHER DAY!

Daily attendance is very important for learning to take place. Students should be at school in their classrooms by 8:15. Please call the office at 336-8600 or send a note if your child is absent.

The number of students who arrive late and leave early is becoming a big problem. We will begin having detention for students who arrive late.

Every minute of instruction is important. At the end of the day teachers are explaining homework and giving instructions. Because we do not want to interrupt this critical time for all students we will not call the classroom for early dismissal after 2:20. By the time we call the room, students gather their work and come to the office it would be dismissal time.
