Dear Families,
Lincoln Eliot is looking for a part time lunch attendant to collect student meal cards at lunch each day. The hours are 11:45- 1:45. Please let me know if you are interested in joining the Lincoln Eliot team.
A huge thank you to the PTO and Newton Creative Arts and Science for bring the New England Percussion Ensemble assembly to Lincoln Eliot on Thursday. Out scholars and staff loved the interactive performance.
Vote for Lincoln Eliot: This year, Watertown Savings Bank has set aside $75,000 to distribute to non-profits through the Customer Choice Awards. The program provides customers with the opportunity to influence how the bank distributes funds in the community. Last year, our community voted, and Lincoln-Eliot was awarded $2,099! If you have any type of account with Watertown Savings Bank, you can cast a vote! Every customer may vote once. Voting is open until December 31, 2017. Please go to Customer Choice to vote online, or visit a branch to cast your ballot for Lincoln Eliot!
Arrival and Dismissal: Arrival and dismissal time has become a bit chaotic and dangerous at times. As a result, I am asking you to please adhere to the following to ensure the safety of all scholars:
✓ Students should only be let out of the car on the curb side of the street never into the street.
✓ The blue zone (on both Pearl Street and Jackson Road) is a no parking zone; it should be used for quick drop off and pick up only
✓ If coming from the Capital Street area, please cross students at the Pearl/Jackson light in the designated crosswalk; not in front of cars on Jackson Road.
✓ The fire lane in the staff parking lot is a no parking zone
A few reminders from previous weeks:
❖ Dogs: Dogs are not allowed on school property but we have come up with a plan that should work for all. If you choose to walk your dog to school at arrival and dismissal times, you and your dog must wait by the Flagpole on the corner of Pearl St and Jackson Rd. Make sure to inform your child’s teacher that you give permission for your child to walk to the Flagpole area on his/her own. It is imperative that you talk with your child to create a plan in case you are late. Make sure to communicate that plan to your child’s teacher.
❖ In an effort to ensure student safety, we are asking for parents and teachers to remind students NOT to climb through the bushes in the front of the school when entering or exiting the building. Thank you for your assistance with this matter.
