Teaching and Learning

READY! for Kindergarten

Dear Families,

Please join us for our annual READY! for Kindergarten event at the Lincoln Early Learning Center for children ages 2–5.

READY! for Kindergarten is a series of parent education workshops designed to show families how playing with their child is one of the best ways to prepare them for kindergarten. 

READY! has identified 26 skills most closely associated with academic success and social-emotional well-being in kindergarten, known as the READY! Targets.

Parents attend a series of 90-minute workshops, each focusing on 10 of these 26 school readiness skills. During the workshops, parents participate in hands-on activities and discussions to learn and practice strategies they can easily use at home.

Please see the attached flyer for dates, times, and registration details.


Thank you,

Lisa Ramey-Hernandez, Principal
Lincoln Early Learning Center

Operations

Volunteers/Visitors:
  • When visiting/volunteering, please wear badge in a visible location on your clothing and remain in the location of your purpose for the visit. If you have additional needs/destinations, circle back to the office and communicate so that we can assist you. Thanks! 
_________________________________
Arrival/Dismissal:
  • Let's all work together to make arrival and dismissal as safe as possible. Here are some strategies that we can all work together on as a community:
-Refrain from parking near crosswalks so that they are visible to traffic. 
-Use a different egress than Lemp to 15th, as this is busy with daycare and school transportation. 
-Remind students to cross at the safety light on 15th. Drivers seem to focus their attention on the central courtyard crosswalk and stop light, not the crosswalks on Lemp and Ridenbaugh. 
-Remind students to dismount bikes/scooters/etc. and walk through the crosswalk.

Safety and Security / Facilities: 
  • Staff Members and PTA met last week to discuss potential upgrades to safety and security features of our building. Please see the meeting notes in the PTA section below to stay up to date on that discussion.
