Inspiring Lifelong Learners & Leaders One Person at a Time!
PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Dear Lincoln Students and Families:
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Lincoln Elementary Community School, home of the lions, where the
staff are inspiring lifelong learners and leaders one person at a time. The faculty joins me in saying
we’re happy to have you as a part of the Lincoln Family. We hope this year will be a successful and
satisfying year for you.
We are a MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Support) School. We screen our students three times a year,
provide interventions during the school day and respond to the needs of students through core
instruction. We are also a Community School where we remove all barriers to the education of the
whole child by partnering with community organizations, families and individuals to address social,
emotional and academic needs. We are a Professional Development School where we partner with
East Stroudsburg University and host students who choose to become future educators, as well as have
opportunities to receive professional development from the University faculty. Lastly, we are a Leader In
Me School where we recognize students, staff and families as lifelong leaders. We teach and practice
Stephen Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
The pages of this handbook are filled with information regarding school policies and procedures.
Families and students are advised to review the contents together. If you have any questions, please
call the school office. Open and clear communication between the school and home is important to the
success of our educational program.
We welcome your participation and support this year and invite you to become involved with the Lincoln
Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO). Working together, we will be able to reach our collective and
individual goals and celebrate the achievement of our students.
