September 2023

A Message from Mr. Gloudemans

Hello Lion Families,

I don't know about you, but I feel like September flew by! Thank you for all of your effort to ensure our first month of school was a success.

I want to share a couple of important items:

All students should be assigned homework nightly. Students must read every night, and they should receive math work at least weekly. If you are not seeing your child's homework, please reach out to their teacher directly.
If your student is riding their bike to school, we ask that they get off of their bike and walk it once they are inside the fence; we also ask parents or siblings to do the same.
Lincoln has an amazing PTO that provides great opportunities for our students. If you would be interested in joining or volunteering at an event, please reach out to the main office.

Lastly, our job is to ensure your child has the best year possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Make it a day!

Mr. Gloudemans

Upcoming 2nd Grade Testing

Between October 23 - November 10, 2023, our school will be administering the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) to students in second grade. This is a screening test that the Green Bay Area Public School District is administering to all students to give the school additional information on how best to serve your child. The CogAT provides a snapshot of your child’s abilities in the areas of verbal, quantitative, and nonverbal functioning. The nonverbal battery tests a student’s reasoning abilities and does not require the student to use information gained from other experiences to solve problems. The CogAT takes approximately 55 minutes and is administered on a computer.

Participation is voluntary. Please contact Principal Gloudemans if you do not wish to participate. We expect to receive the testing results in November 2023. At that time, a copy of your child’s results will be shared with you. You can find information from the publisher of this assessment at www.cogat.com.

Title I Program Information

We are fortunate to have a special program called Title I at Lincoln. Title I is a federal program that provides money to school districts to help children become successful learners. The purpose of Title I is to provide educational services for children who need extra help. Title I serves students and families in 14 public and 10 private schools in Green Bay. The 14 public Title I schools operate as “school-wide programs”. A school-wide program may use Title I funds to serve all students in the school, regardless of academic need. The school must have a specific plan to explain how it will use Title I funds to improve the educational program. At Lincoln, we are working to make improvements in the following areas: literacy, math, and student engagement.

Our school district is required to review whether our Title I programs are effective. Schools need to show that students are making progress toward meeting the state standards. We hold a meeting each spring to share our progress and goal outcomes with parents. All parents are invited and we hope to see you there. Parent involvement is a very important part of Title I. Parents are encouraged to be involved in their children’s education and to participate in planning the Title I program. Parent participation is required and welcomed. If you are interested in participating in important Title I decisions or have ideas for how we can improve our program, please contact Lincoln's school principal, Adam Gloudemans at 920-492-7225.

Información del programa Título I

Somos muy afortunados de tener un programa especial llamado Título I en nuestra escuela. Título I es un programa federal que proporciona dinero a los distritos escolares para ayudar a los niños a llegar a ser estudiantes más exitosos. El propósito del Título I es proporcionar servicios educativos extra para los niños que necesitan ayuda adicional para tener éxito en la escuela. Título sirve a estudiantes y familias en 14 escuelas públicas y 10 escuelas privadas en Green Bay. 14 escuelas públicas Título I operan como “programas escolares”. Un programa que abarca todas las escuelas puede usar fondos de Título I para servir a los estudiantes en la escuela, sin importar la necesidad académica. La escuela deberá tener un plan específico para explicar cómo utilizará los fondos de Título I para mejorar el programa educativo. En Lincoln, estamos trabajando para hacer mejoras en las siguientes áreas: alfabetización, matemáticas y participación estudiantil.

Se requiere de nuestro distrito escolar revisar si nuestros programas de Título I son efectivos. Las escuelas necesitan demostrar que los estudiantes están haciendo progresos hacia el cumplimiento de las normas del estado. Llevamos a cabo una reunión cada primavera para compartir nuestros avances y resultados de los objetivos con los padres. Están invitados todos los padres y esperamos verlos ahí. La participación de los padres es una parte muy importante de Título I. Los padres son alentados a participar en la educación de sus hijos y a participar en la planificación del programa de Título I. La participación de los padres es necesaria y bienvenida. Si está interesado en participar en las decisiones importantes Título I o si tiene ideas de cómo podemos mejorar nuestro programa por favor, póngase en contacto con el/la directora/a, Adam Gloudemans en 920-492-7225.
