Week6

 Week 6

October 4-8


Parent-Teacher Conferences

I believe I have confirmed a conference time for each family.  I am very excited to meet with you.  I will email you a reminder the day prior to our scheduled meeting time.  If you selected the option to meet virtually I will send you a link in my reminder email.


Halloween Party

It’s that time! Halloween at Lincoln School is a fun time.  Costumes are optional, but most children do wear them.  We wear them ALL day, so please make sure your child is wearing something they can sit and move about in easily.  Please refrain from sending any large prop pieces.  For example, an inflatable dragon costume, or Poseiden with a trident would be hard to manage for 7+ hours! Many children choose a scaled down version of their trick-or-treat attire.


Our classroom party will be Friday, October 29 from 1:20-2:05.  Parents are welcome to join us.  However, we do not have space for siblings and grandparents during the party.  If additional family members are interested in seeing the spectacle that is an elementary Halloween celebration, please bring them to the parade that will happen on the playground at 3:15. 


In order to make our party a success I am asking for donations of various items.  If you’d like to contribute, please see this document and add your name beside whatever you’d like to provide.  Thanks in advance for your help!
