🎮 LEVEL UP: Unlock Your Potential!
We have another exciting week ahead at Lincoln! Tutoring begins, our newly elected Student Council leaders are getting started, and we will finish the week with Fall Picture Day. Please review the important information below so your Lion is ready for the week.
🎯 Tutoring Begins Tuesday!
Title I Academic Tutoring begins Tuesday, September 15. Tutoring is held after school on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays until 3:45 p.m.
An afternoon snack/meal will be provided on tutoring days.
Please remember our tutoring and club expectations:
If a student misses tutoring on Monday or Tuesday, the student must make up that tutoring day and will not participate in their Thursday club that week.
Students who reach 10 absences may not participate in clubs or extracurricular activities. Parents/guardians must meet with the attendance team and appeal for their student to participate.
Daily, on-time attendance is important not only for classroom instruction, but also for participation in our after-school academic and enrichment opportunities.
Attendance letters will be going home this week.
🎮 Clubs Are Leveling Up!
Club information will be available in the front office and directly from club sponsors. We will also post a complete list of Lincoln's after-school clubs this week.
Please return all club permission slips by the deadline provided by your club sponsor.
⚽💃 Soccer & Dance — Additional Requirement
If your student would like to participate in Soccer or Dance, the required insurance form and certification must be turned in on the SAME DAY the permission slip is due.
Students cannot begin participating until the required paperwork has been completed. Please contact the front office or club sponsor if you have questions about the required documentation.
📸 Friday is Fall Picture Day!
Friday, September 18 is Fall Picture Day!
👕 Students should wear their regular school uniforms for Fall Pictures.
Please refer to the Picture Day flyers and other school communications for ordering and payment information.
We can't wait to see those Lincoln Lion smiles! 📸🦁
🗳️ Meet Our New Student Council Officers!
Congratulations to our newly elected Lincoln Student Council leaders!
President: Andrea Gutierrez — 5th Grade
Vice President: Brianna Navarro — 4th Grade
Secretary: Natalia Gastelum — 5th Grade
Treasurer: Steven Noveno — 5th Grade
Our Student Council officers, classroom representatives, and selected students who demonstrated strong academic performance last year may also have an opportunity to attend the Santa Cruz County Fair on Friday. Only students who received a permission slip are participating. Please return those permission slips as soon as possible.
STUCO officers and representatives are also working on an art project for submission to the fair. Families, please help your student complete and return the project no later than Tuesday so we can get it to the fairgrounds on time.
We are proud of our Lions for showing leadership, achievement, and initiative!

👋 Welcome to the Pride, Mr. Flores!
Please help us welcome Mr. Flores, our new security guard, to the Lincoln family! He begins this week, so please say hello when you see him on campus.
🎮 This Week's Leadership Challenge: Control Your Controller!
Our Lions are focusing on Habit 1: Be Proactive this week.
Students will learn about their Circle of Control and practice recognizing the difference between things they can control—such as their effort, attitude, words, actions, and responses—and things outside their control. This directly follows our Leader in Me focus on helping students put their energy toward the choices they can affect.
Ask your Lion at home:
🎮 “Who's holding your controller?”
We want our Lions to answer:
“I AM!”
Our message this week is simple:
You can't control every level of the game, but you CAN control how you play it.
Level Up. Lead. Learn. ROAR! 🦁🎮
