Principal Update 11.19.18

Dear Families,

Don’t forget: Wednesday, November 21st is an early release day with a 12:00 dismissal time.  Also, there is no school on Thursday, November 22nd, and Friday, November 23rd, due to the Thanksgiving holiday.  Everyone at Lincoln-Eliot wishes you a happy and healthy start to the holiday season.

Check out the Lincoln-Eliot PTO’s new Spirit gear options at: https://lepto-spirit-gear.myshopify.com/, where there are over 90 products for adults, kids, toddlers and pets.  This is a great place to start your holiday shopping while supporting our school.

Also, a reminder that the Book Fair is coming up in two weeks, kicking off with Dress Like a Book Character Day on Monday, December 3rd.  The Book Fair will be in the library from November 30 – December 6, with shopping before and after school and at the Thursday evening pajama party (12/6 from 5-8pm), where we hope everyone will join us for free cookies and cocoa, music, and a celebration of reading.

As you know we had a two-hour delay on Friday due to the weather. Please note when there is a 2-hour delay, the start time is pushed back two hours to 10:20am.  There will be no breakfast or before school program on days we have a delayed start time.  Students should not arrive before 10:20, as staff will not be here to supervise.

If you did not receive a call regarding the delay on Friday, please make sure the office has your most up-to-date working phone number.  Also, if the weather is questionable, keep an eye on the morning news for a delay or cancelation message.

Please mark your calendar:

* Monday, November 19th:  Picture Retake Day
* Wednesday, November 21st:  Early Release Day — 12:00 dismissal
* Thursday, November 22nd & Friday, November 23rd:  Thanksgiving Recess — No School
* Friday, November 30th – Thursday, December 6th:  Lincoln-Eliot Book Fair
* Monday, December 3rd:  Dress Like a Book Character Day
* Thursday, December 6th:  Books and Cookies Pajama Party, 5-8pm

Stay warm this week, and have a safe and happy Thanksgiving break!
