Dear Lincoln Eliot Families,

We are four days into the new school year and students are doing a great job settling into school and classroom routines.  I am working hard to learn names of all of our Lincoln Eliot students.  I saw a few of them at the Newton North football game on Saturday.  My oldest is a senior and plays on the team.  Go Tigers!

School Nurse

Nurse Heather Engholm will be leaving Lincoln Eliot in order to pursue full time graduate studies.  Her last day will be Friday, September 16th. There will be a substitute nurse to cover the health office until a full-time nurse is hired.  Nurse Heather will make sure that the incoming nurse is aware of all of the healthcare needs of the Lincoln Eliot students.  We are grateful for Nurse Heather’s time at Lincoln Eliot and wish her well in her studies.

Blue Zone

We know parking is very challenging around the school but please do not park in the blue zone.  This area is for drop off only.

There will be a PTO meeting on Tuesday, September 13 in the cafeteria.  Pizza and water will be for sale from 6-6:30 and the meeting will run from 6:30-7:30.   Childcare for school-age children will be provided during the meeting.  If you have a child at Lincoln Eliot then you are a member of the PTO.  Please come and learn more about the PTO!

Language Buddies

We are looking for bilingual adults in the LE School Community who are willing to be a language buddy for a parent/s who are learning English.  This means you might be called on to review a school notice for another parent or respond to questions.  If you are interested please complete this very brief  Language Buddy Form

I hope to see you Tuesday evening at the PTO meeting.

Sincerely,

Jody Klein
