Dear Lincoln Eliot Community Members,

My name is Jody Klein and I am very excited to be in the position of interim principal for the 2016-2017 school year. I have worked at the district level in Newton for 19 years. For the past ten years I have been the Director of English Language Learning.

It’s been a busy summer at Lincoln Eliot. Geary Chalmus, one of the custodians here at the school, has cleaned the building top to bottom and it looks ready for students. Teachers are busy setting up their classrooms and we are getting organized in the office.

Here is a link to a document that has information about Lincoln Eliot School Procedures. This link will also be posted on the PTO web site. This is your school. Please let me know if anything needs to be clarified or added to this document.

Placement information will be sent out on Friday along with class supply lists. This information will also be posted on the PTO website. We may be able to get the supply lists out to you before Friday.

Upcoming dates:

Thursday, August 25 – PTO Planning Meeting – All are welcome to help plan PTO events for the year. Please come to give you input, learn how you can help and meet other parents. We will meet from 7:00-8:00 PM in the cafeteria. Enter at Jackson Road.
