Positive Behavior Program Underway

We are on the lookout for positive behaviors!  The Elementary Staff has set up a system in which positive behaviors are rewarded for students engaging in safe, respectful, and responsible behaviors throughout various areas of the school during the entire school day.  The teachers put on an assembly for the K-5 students demonstrating behaviors and having the students identify what was wrong and right in each scenario.  We all had fun putting it together (as well as being silly!) and the students enjoyed pointing out what was wrong and correcting us. 

 

It was nice meeting many parents at Back to School Night.  If you have any comments, questions or concerns throughout the year, please do not hesitate to contact me.  The best ways are either calling me at school (541-875-2942 ext. 134) or by email at kathleen.dougherty@lincoln.k12.or.us.

 

It was a busy week!  The book fair is now over and many students bought books to add to their personal libraries.  It has been fun to see them excited and actively reading their purchased books.  We also had student pictures taken.  If you did not get a chance to order pictures, a proof will be provided to you in a few weeks and you can decide what package you would like to buy. 

 

Mark your calendars for our FIRST "First Friday" on October 5th.  This is a special, monthly event which will take place on the first Friday of every month.  The purpose is to invite a special person in their lives to come and celebrate each student's reading successes in grades K-5.  A flyer will be sent home explaining this in more detail this week. 

 

A HOMEWORK FOLDER REMINDER TO PARENTS: 
 

Please check your child's homework folder on a daily basis.  On one side is "Leave at Home" where completed homework or in-class assignments are placed as well as announcements for you to read about upcoming events.  Please review and remove daily.  On the other side is "Return to School" where homework is to be completed and brought back to school.  Your support in keeping your child's homework folder organized, neat, and less cluttered would be greatly appreciated.   Thank you for your support!
