Dear Lincoln Park Parents, Students, and Families,

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! As the new principal at Lincoln Park, I am thrilled to welcome you to the start of a new school year. For the last twelve years I have been a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and a Professional Development Specialist in the Evergreen School District in Vancouver, Washington. I consider it a real privilege to serve as the principal at Lincoln Park. I am anxious to meet all of you and become a part of the Lincoln Park community!

Important Information for you:

2011-2012 Lincoln Park School Supply List

There is a one-time $25 supply fee per child. This fee is for consumable supplies that will be used throughout the year. It replaces the usual supply list.

Please DO NOT purchase any supplies or send any supplies from home. Your child’s teacher will purchase supplies over the summer. This fee is NOT optional.

A community supply method will be used. There are many benefits to this method for the parent, child, and classroom teacher. It will save parents money because we are able to buy in bulk, allowing us to purchase a larger variety and better quality of supplies. Students feel more equality because all supplies are the same color, style, size, etc. Students also learn many social skills from sharing supplies. By purchasing supplies over the summer, our classrooms are set up and ready for the first day of school with the supplies that are needed.
