A Reminder. . .
There is no adult supervision available before school until 8:20 am. If students are eating breakfast at school they may arrive at 8:00 am and go directly to the gym for breakfast. Those students not eating breakfast should not arrive at school before 8:20 am. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Lunch Money
Lunch money should be given to your child’s teacher. The teacher will send it to the office to make sure it is deposited to your child’s account. One check can be written for all children you have enrolled in the Beatrice Public Schools district, please make sure that you write each child’s name and the amount you want deposited in their account. Please make sure that the lunch money is in an envelope with the student’s name on it.
Winter Coats
If your student is in need of a warm winter coat please let us know. We have brand new winter coats in all sizes for boys and girls and they need homes. Please call the office at 402-223-1575 if your child is in need of one.
Lost & Found
We have several items in our lost and found closet. If your child is missing a clothing item, please have them check with the office.
Morning Drop-off
When dropping your children off at school in the morning please observe the children in the area and watch your speed. When dropping off, please pull in, drop off your student, and drive away. Please don’t linger. Please don’t take up staff parking places while waiting for your child to go line up for school. Please don’t drop off on the opposite side of the street and have your student run across in the middle of the street. Students need to use crosswalks to cross the street. We appreciate your help in this matter!
Cold Weather Policy
It is the policy at Lincoln Elementary to go outside for recess during the day and at lunchtime if the temperature (with wind chill) is 0 degrees or above. Therefore, it is very important that your child have boots, gloves/mittens, hat/scarf, and a winter coat each day. If your child is lacking any of these essential items they will not be protected from the elements as well as they should be. Please call our school office if you need assistance with providing coats, gloves or hats for your student. We thank you in advance for your cooperation with our cold weather policy.
