    Welcome Message:
     Hello Lincoln Families,
     
    Welcome back to the start of the 2020-21 school year. We are all disappointed that we will be starting the school year virtually. But like all challenges in life, it is an opportunity to learn and grow!
     
    If you have behavioral or academic concerns about your child, please see the Student Asisance/SAP page on this website. SAP is the EPS district's team to support our students behaviorally and academically.
     
    I have added a website for students to learn how to type! https://www.todaysparent.com/family/fun-typing-games-for-kids/
    This should help with the online learning :)
     
    If at anytime during the school year you or your child need immediate emotional help and support, please contact crisis services:

     The United Way’s 211 resources can connect families with a variety of human services. Simply dial 211 and someone wil direct you to the appropriate agency to assist with things like food, furniture, clothing, medical or mental health service.
     
    I am also including some links with information I received from the Caring Place.
