Warmer Weather is approaching!
Please make sure your child is continuing to bring a coat or jacket to school even with the warmer weather arriving. In Michigan our weather can change rapidly and students are expected to be prepared for recesses of all weather. Remember our school policy is that a coat is needed and no shorts allowed when it is under 60 degrees outside. 

As the weather starts to warm up, please be sure students are dressed appropriately. Clothing that exposes underwear or too much skin is prohibited. This includes midriff tops.


M-STEP Information- 5th graders take 4 M-STEP tests (ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies) starting the week of April 18th-May 20th. We will take one assessment a week on each Wednesday. Please try to encourage good sleeping habits and eat a good breakfast before each test to help your child focus their best on their test. Please try to limit absences on these days, because making up these test sessions is difficult. I will allow SUGAR FREE GUM during these tests and will collect any gum donations ahead of time.


Lincoln 5th Grade M-STEP Schedule- 

April 20- ELA 9:45 (2 hours) 

April 27- Math 9:45 (1.5 hours)

May 4th- Science 9:45 (1.5 hours)

May 11th- Social Studies 9:45  (1 hour)

May 18th- Makeups 9:45

May 20th- Cut off day


Our classroom could use some donations of snacks and tissues again. These donations are used for students who forget to bring in a snack to school. Lately, we have gone through many of each. Snacks can include individually wrapped foods like goldfish, fruit snacks, pretzels, cheez-its, crackers, or granola bars. 

Remember to charge those devices each night!
