Dear Lincoln School Community,
Bravo to our 4th and 5th grade chorus, who put on two terrific performances on Thursday of their holiday show entitled “Sea-son’s Greetings!” Thank you to Mrs. Panzitta for her terrific direction of our singers, as well as our students for sharing their talents with the Lincoln community. Thank you also to all of our parents, grandparents, and friends who joined us for this special event.
Our Student Council, led by Mrs. Macaluso and Mr. Patanella, did an amazing job in leading Lincoln School in raising $500 via the recent “Golden Pencil” fundraiser! These funds went towards providing gift cards for families in need through the Social Service Association of Ridgewood and Vicinity. Congratulations to our entire school community, and especially our Student Council, on a successful fundraiser to support those that are less fortunate during this holiday season.
Report cards for the first marking period are available for viewing on Genesis today, December 12th, at 3:30 pm. Please know that report cards are intended to be a way to communicate with parents how their child is progressing towards meeting the grade level standards for a particular subject area. Learning is a continuum, and there will inherently be areas of strength and areas of growth for each individual student. Given that we utilize a standards-based report card, the indicators provide a context for whether the student is meeting, exceeding, or progressing towards a standard. Oftentimes, there are one or two benchmarks in a given subject area that a student is still working towards meeting. This should be met with an open, growth mindset, and a feeling that the student just hasn’t met the standard yet, but is working towards it. Please refer to the information about standards-based report cards, including the benchmark links for each subject area, on our website. As always, we value the home-school connection, and look forward to continued collaboration throughout the school year. Finally, please note that parents must acknowledge the “Standards Based Report Cards Form” in their Genesis account prior to being able to access their child's report card. If you have any difficulty accessing the portal, please email our Genesis help desk at genesis@wyckoffps.org.
Please come and claim any lost and found items located in the MPR before December 23rd. All items left will be donated after the winter break.
Finally, on behalf of the Lincoln Staff, I would like to wish a Happy Hanukkah to all of our families who are celebrating. Best wishes for peace, health, and happiness!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Patrick Lee
Principal
