Color Run with Abe

Hey everyone! Our Color Run with Abe is fast approaching! We are so excited and so happy about the number of people who have signed up to run! It’s going to be SO much fun! We have a few things we want to let you know about. First of all, we cannot do this event without the help of some volunteers so we have made a sign up genius and would very much appreciate it if every Lincoln family could sign up for something! We have assignments from selling snacks to actually helping out on the race course and keeping everyone safe! Thank you in advance for your help!

We are excited to get your race shirts out to you so we have decided on a couple of days that we will be in the lobby handing out your race shirts along with a free color packet! Wear the shirt to the race and bring the color packet with you! You can pick up your shirt and color packet in the Lincoln lobby on Tuesday the 25th from 2-3 PM or Wednesday the 26th from 12:30-1:30. You can also get your shirt and packet on the day of the race, Thursday the 27that 4 PM.

If you still haven’t signed up for the race and would like to join in this fundraiser, use the link below. We’d love to have you! You can also sign up on the day of the race if you still haven’t.

Vendors! If you are interested, we are offering spaces for you to promote your business. Vendor space is $100 and goes towards raising money for the school. The event is on Thursday April 27th at 4pm. Setup for the vendors will be at 3:30 and the event goes until 5:30. This is a great way to get the word out about your business. You'll be given a 10ft x10ft. amount of space.

RISE and Utah Aspire Plus Testing

It's that time of year again when we launch into our summative RISE and Utah Aspire Plus testing windows. Please note that, unlike some other districts in the state, Lincoln Academy does use the data we acquire from these tests for various purposes. Proficiency is a measure we use to determine how many of our students are on grade level and ready to tackle higher-level concepts. For those who may be struggling, the data helps us identify areas where our curriculum may need more focus. Additionally, the data provides us with information on how much students have gained in the current school year, as we also receive growth numbers for our students. We encourage all of our students to do their best so that we can collect valid data.

Our testing windows are as follows:

Writing - 5th and 8th grades: The week of April 17

Reading - 9th grade: Wednesday, April 19

Science - 4th-9th grades: The week of April 24

ELA - 3rd-9th grades: The week of May 1

Math - 3rd-9th grades: The week of May 8

Please ensure that your students get a good night's sleep and have a nutritious breakfast on these days.

We also have a request. It's sometimes helpful for our students to have a snack during their testing time. It helps them relax and may also help to curb hunger pangs. If you are willing, please consider donating healthy snacks such as fruit leather, fruit snacks, individual cracker packages (goldfish, Chex Mix, pretzels, popcorn, etc.). We are extremely grateful for these donations and appreciate your support! Bring any donations to the front office and let us know that it's for RISE testing.

Thank you for entrusting your wonderful kids to us here at Lincoln. We love them and appreciate all that you do for us!
