Here are some changes we have made to our current policy concerning visitors entering our building: Starting Feb. 11, parents or other visitors will be allowed into the building to: 1. Attend Friday Rise & Shine assemblies (please sit on the chairs along the west side) 2. Eat lunch with your child (we will have a designated table for you to sit with your child) Our guidelines for volunteers in the classroom are still the same. You can help if: 1. Your child's teacher has reached out asking for help in some fashion AND 2. You have a volunteer badge Otherwise we are still not allowing parents/visitors into the classrooms. We are happy to announce these changes! See you soon!

Next week is National School Counselor Week! Let's celebrate Ms. Coughlin with a Spirit Week!

Lincoln and Garfield Parents, Forget to pick up your yearbooks, art portfolios, and other items last Thursday? There's still time! Come by anytime between 8 and noon this week and ring the front door. We will come to you! #usd379

If you weren't able to check in your end-of-the-year supplies yesterday, there's still time! Please come to Garfield this morning from 8 a.m. to noon. ALL technology must be returned.

Because of the threat of rain, Thursday's check in at Clay Center has been moved to the Bus Barn, which is located behind Lincoln Elementary at 1002 Clay Street. Please enter on the west side of Clay Street and not from the north. Wakefield's check in will remain the same.

If you know of a potential kindergarten student for the 2020-2021 school year, please pass this quick survey along to their parents. Thank you! #usd379 https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeaAJ8PfPo5lIDedWEtNVvBviBAVrsgY40nGzCXA2_5-wc_VQ/viewform

This #usd379 Tech Team has been rocking it distributing devices and answering questions over the past four days! If you have a question, please email techhelp@usd379.org and someone from this team will be in touch. We are all in it together!

Lincoln parents: The spring photos you received in your child's bag of supplies are being provided FREE from Rolland Studios. You do not need to send back money for them. One perk from the craziness! #lincoln #usd379

Didn't get your laptop or iPad picked up yesterday? Decided your child needed a device after seeing the plan? Another pick-up date has been set at Garfield on Monday, March 30 from 1-4 p.m. Please email techhelp@usd379.org and include your name and student(s) names and grades.
