Hi Lincoln Families!

To help us prepare for the first day of school, we ask that you please fill out this short form so that we know how your child will be getting home each day.

How Does Your Child Get Home 26-27 – Fill out form

**Please note: Unless a parent/guardian sends a note to school or calls the main office at 814-874-6685 to inform us of a change to their child’s dismissal procedure, students will be sent home the way that is chosen on this form.**

Thank you for helping us keep our students ​safe!

Our staff showed their school pride today at our district-wide convocation! We're ready to TRAIN. LEAD. WIN this year!

We are so grateful to the Mercyhurst University student volunteers who helped us prepare for the beginning of the school year today. Volunteers stuffed folders for our students and staff, sorted and distributed supplies to our teachers, and prepared bulletin boards. Their hard work will contribute to a successful start of the year for our students, staff, and families!

Thanks to Community Engagement at Mercyhurst University for including us in their Day of Service!

Does your child still need their immunizations prior to the start of the school year? Check out this upcoming opportunity!

The first day of school is quickly approaching. We wanted to remind families that students are required to follow the Standard Dress Attire policy and to have a clear bookbag starting on the first day of school (August 25).

Below we have recommended suggestions for other school supplies that will be useful for your child based on their grade level, but all necessary supplies will be provided by the school.

We're looking forward to seeing all of our students and families at Open House on Thursday, August 20 6-8pm!

Is your child turning 4 or 5 before August 31, 2026?

Have you enrolled them for Pre-K or Kindergarten yet?

NOW is the time to ensure that your application is complete with all of the required documentation so that they are ready for day one, on August 25, 2026!
