Help with Drop off and Pick up

 Young Five Students often have difficulty getting out of the car 

independently. This can cause a delay in our drop off line.

There is also a safety concern with children getting out 

on the drivers side into moving traffic.

Please park your vehicle at the church on Morton and walk your children over.  

Adults are on the playground at 8:15 and 

I meet to walk the children into school at 8:20.

If you are sending your child for breakfast you can park in t

he front of the school in slanted parking spaces and 

walk them to the gym door at 8:15.  

Please do not drop any child off before 8:15.

This is for the safety of your child.

Please park and walk over for pick up as well.  We dismiss our class at 2:40. 

Young Five parents should not be in their car in the pick up line 

or double parking on Cole.

It is dangerous for the children to walk across the car 

line to get into cars double parked.

It is all about keeping the children safe.

If you are running late for drop off or pick up (after 8:30 or after 3:50)

please let me know  773-968-9657 with a text  

and your child can enter/leave through the front office.

Lincoln’s Science & Culture Night will be on Jan 31st from 6-8 pm. 

In addition to the presenters who will be in classrooms that evening, 

we would love to celebrate many different cultures throughout Lincoln School!

We would love your help! 

PTO is looking for families that have connections with other cultures. 

Perhaps your family celebrates specific cultural activities in your home. 

Perhaps your family has experienced another culture through travel or 

time spent living in another country. 

If you have souvenirs, pictures, ideas, recipes, or any other ideas, 

we would love your help to enrich the evening. 

Our goal is to have many display tables showcasing various cultures that night.

If you have any questions or would like to participate, please feel free to 

contact me at any time!

Thank you!
