  7. Behavior Management Plan Star Student Good Citizen Super Citizen Prime Time Snack/drink Treasure box Extra Recess We use a weekly behavior sheet to monitor student behavior. Students who continue to break a rule after a warning will receive a mark on the sheet. Each mark is worth 5 points off the conduct grade. Students will also walk a lap around the playground/miss 5 minutes of recess for each mark. Graded behavior sheets are sent home on Mondays. They should be signed and returned the next day. Students who continually show their Lincoln PRIDE will be rewarded!

  10. Homework Most work will be done at school, however, any work assigned as homework is very important and expected to be completed to the best of the student’s ability. NOT BUSY WORK, but an extension/practice of classroom skills. Students MUST read for at least 20 minutes each night and record their reading on their reading log. Students who do not complete assigned homework will get marks on their behavior sheets. DO NOT WRITE FOR YOUR CHILD NOR GIVE ANSWERS.

  11. Tardiness/Absences School starts at 8:00 A.M. and dismisses at 3:00 P.M. You are tardy if you get to school late or leave early. Running late? Check in at the school office before coming to class. If you are absent more than 2 days, I will give you a call. Call the school if you know your child will be out several days. Always send a doctor’s excuse.

  12. LUNCH/BREAKFASTOur lunch time is 11:00 – 11:25Please feel free to join your child for lunch. However, please keep in mind that food from restaurants is NOT ALLOWED. Lunch prices can be found in the LES Student Handbook. Also, if your child will be eating breakfast at school, please see that he/she arrives at an appropriate time so your child will not be late to class.

  13. Dress Code Please use good judgment in dressing your child. Do not allow your child to wear any revealing clothing or anything that may offend others. The District Discipline Code and LES Handbook have more detailed information on the dress code. Any area covered by a swimsuit must be kept covered at school!
