Dear K-4 Caregivers,

The week kicked off with our rainbow-colored photo shoot led by parent and professional photographer, Inna Kochura. She was a true pro—expertly posing each group and climbing atop a ladder to get the perfect angle. Despite the chilly Monday morning temperatures, she managed to capture some incredible smiles from everyone involved. We are so excited to see the final shots on the yearbook cover!

We were thrilled to see such a fantastic turnout for Literacy Night this past Tuesday. Students of all ages dove into a variety of creative stations, from crafting bookmarks and puppets to competitive rounds of Book Bingo, Sentence Relay, and Roll and Read.

A few highlights included:

Today, the gym transformed for the highly anticipated Domino Day! Thanks to your overwhelming generosity, Lincoln School is donating 480 boxes of cereal to the Lincoln & Weston St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry. Parent volunteers, along with teacher leaders Nicole McDonagh and Rachel Goldner, set up a massive, winding trail of cereal boxes throughout the gym. When the music started, the first box fell, triggering a spectacular chain reaction that celebrated the power of our community coming together for a great cause.

One more school day an then we will be on break. Wishing everyone a happy and fun April vacation week!

Sincerely,

Sarah

Dear Families, 

We are excited to be preparing for the 2026-27 kindergarten classes and look forward to meeting our youngest students and their families!

We have a Kindergarten Information video that introduces you to Lincoln School staff and provides information about learning and the school day. Please click here to view the 5-minute video and bring any questions you have to orientation on May 28th. 

Rising kindergarteners and their parent(s)/caregiver(s) are invited to come to school on Thursday, May 28th during the school day for Kindergarten Orientation! We will meet in the Learning Commons and then walk the children to a kindergarten classroom where they will play, color, enjoy a read aloud and more. This teacher will be your child’s orientation day teacher but will not necessarily be your child’s teacher in the fall. 

While the children are in the classrooms, parent(s)/caregiver(s) will attend a meeting with the building administrators and the literacy and math specialists. Parents/caregivers of students who did not attend the Lincoln Preschool will complete a home language survey with the EL teacher.

Please complete this Kindergarten Family Information & Orientation Sign-up. 

If you are not sure if your child will register, please do complete the form so you can recieve updates!

Children must have reached the age of five (5) before October 1, 2026 to enter Kindergarten. The Lincoln Public Schools also enroll employee children who have been approved by the School Committee and Boston resident students through the METCO Program.

Ticks are out in full force. This time of year, adult ticks are active and Nymph ticks have also hatched and pose a threat due to their tiny size.

Here are some important ways to protect your child (and yourself).  

The following websites have excellent information on ticks, prevention, and tick borne diseases:

Please contact me for any questions or concerns you may have about tick borne diseases.

Dear Lincoln School Composting Volunteers,

Thank you so much for your awesome support this school year! Since January, we have had six amazing volunteers helping out over multiple days. While this number is down from twenty unique volunteers from September-December, we still LOVE our volunteers and whether you joined us for one session or many, we truly appreciate YOU and your time. 

As we look ahead to the end year, we are in dire need of volunteers and would be delighted to see you again– or to have you help spread the word about this important work we are doing in our school with others who might also be interested in volunteering. 

If you'd like to spend time with your child as you volunteer, your child is welcome to join you at the compost table if they would like to pull up a chair and eat their lunch with you, don a pair of composting gloves, or use the coveted composting tongs! 

Appointment slots are open through the end of the year.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions. Thank you again for your invaluable support!

Most sincerely,

Gwen Blumberg & Nicole McDonagh
