Abraham Lincoln Elementary School

Dear Lincoln School Community,

This past week was designated as School Staff Appreciation Week. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge our wonderful teachers and staff for their tremendous work on behalf of the students of Lincoln School. I have the privilege of seeing firsthand their hard work, dedication, professionalism, and talent, and I am inspired by how much they care for and support our students. We are lucky to have such an amazing group of educators here at Lincoln School! Thank you to our Lincoln PTO for hosting an unbelievable week of celebration for our staff! Between the amazing staff luncheon to the delicious treats in the faculty room to an incredible breakfast this morning, we were well taken care of this week! We are extremely grateful for the support of our PTO, parents, and families.

Our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders worked hard on the NJSLA assessment this past week. I am proud of each of them for trying their very best! The assessment continues with Math on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week. Grade 5 students only will have Science on Wednesday, May 21 and Thursday, May 22nd. The assessment will begin at the very start of the day, so please try to ensure that your son or daughter is at school on time during testing.

Letters regarding our Kindergarten Preview for the siblings of current Lincoln students were mailed today. If you do not receive a letter by next week and your child is registered for September, please contact Mrs. DiMeglio at mdimeglio@wyckoffschools.org. I also ask that you kindly email Mrs. DiMeglio to confirm if your child will be attending the preview time to which they were assigned.

We look forward to seeing many of our families at the 5th grade’s production of the musical Willy Wonka, Jr. on Thursday, May 29th.  The matinee for students will be held at 2:00 pm, and the evening show for families and guests will be held at 7:00 pm in the Lincoln School gymnasium.  In addition, our 4th and 5th grade Spring Instrumental Band Concert will be held on Tuesday, June 3rd.  Performances of the Spring Instrumental Band Concert will also be at 2:00 pm for students and 7:00 pm for guests.

The spring “Bike and Walk to School Day” for all students and the annual “Bike Safety Rally” for grades 3 and 4 are both scheduled for Wednesday, May 28th. Please be sure that your child’s bicycle is in good working order and that they have a well fitting helmet. There will be a series of obstacle course stations for our 3rd and 4th graders in addition to a safety assembly for several Wyckoff Police Officers.

Please click here to view a letter regarding the Eisenhower Talented Art Program (TAP) for current grade 5 students. In addition, please click here for a signup sheet for our “Collaborative Family Art Night” scheduled for Thursday, May 22nd. This is an interactive evening for families to come together to make art. Our Art Show, where student artwork will be displayed, is scheduled for Thursday, June 12th.

Finally, I would like to wish a very Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms in the Lincoln School community. I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy your special day!

Sincerely,

Patrick Lee
Principal
