www.lincolnK12.org Lincoln Consolidated Schools A MESSAGE FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT “I am a Lincoln Railsplitter and a citizen of Splitter Nation!” These words erupted from my mouth recently and received a loud round of applause from an audience of Superintendents from across the state. I had just finished presenting the good news about Lincoln Consolidated Schools. Would you like to hear the good news, too? There is much to celebrate this spring at LCS. Most of you know our history. You know how we began with an educator’s dream of reaching and teaching rural students. You know how that dream united thirteen independent school communities into one consolidated school district. We take pride in our pioneering spirit, of being a district of firsts, of being a premier learning community. The reorganization of our elementary schools and programs enabled us to create a Spanish Immersion Kindergarten and First Grade classroom. We are encouraged by the success of the program and are preparing to expand our offering to include second grade. A new group has formed to work on opportunities for improved communications and relationships across our school community. This PR and Marketing Task Force is comprised of parents, faculty, and Board of Education members. It is an action oriented group and has already launched a variety of initiatives such as our Parent Information Nights. We have embarked on an ambitious quest to increase student achievement by continuing to improve what happens each and every day in our classrooms. Our faculty meets regularly in groups to examine the data related to teaching and learning. These groups are called data teams. They ask very challenging questions and determine answers that improve instruction. This is truly exciting work which will lead to positive results for students. I am energized by the professionalism of our staff, by the excitement for learning that I witness daily in our students, and by the sense of community I feel when I declare, “I am a Lincoln Railsplitter and a citizen of Splitter Nation!” Ellen Bonter Superintendent Parent Calling System SIGN UP! Last year Lincoln Schools implemented an automated calling system to improve parent/school communications. With the Edulink Intouch Parent Notification system you quickly and efficiently receive important school information directly to your family via phone, email, or text message. As part of the fall registration process you received a letter with information on how to register your own contact information online. If you need a new letter, contact your school office. You will be able to set your preferences on how you would like to receive messages from Lincoln Schools. Uses of this system include snow day notifications, student attendance, and school events. We are very excited to bring this communication tool to you! Spring 2013 3
