LES Parents/Guardians:
Lincoln Elementary School is proud to open its doors to students and parents once again for 2020-2021 Meet the Teacher day. Please read this email for important information.
First-Fifth grade parents and students please enter through the main North doors at LES. Masks for students and parents are highly encouraged, but optional. Temperatures will be taken before entry into the building. Please proceed to your child's classroom. If another/parent student is already in the classroom with the teacher please wait patiently on the chairs provided outside the classroom. If you have more than one student and there is a small wait, it is acceptable to check with your other student's teacher.
Kindergarten parents please go directly to the Kindergarten building for a temperature check. If you have another student in the main LES building, you do not have to get your temperature rechecked upon entry. Kindergarten parents please check your email for the Ages and Stages Questionnaire sent out by our child's teacher. If you complete this before your Meet the Teacher time it would be helpful. Computers will be provided to assist parents with this process tomorrow.
Preschool parents please proceed directly to the Preschool for your temperature check and to meet Mrs. Ringler.
If you need any assistance please ask Mrs. Schmidt or the office staff. We are so excited to see students and parents for the first time in several months. Have a great day, Mrs. Schmidt
