    It’s with great pleasure that I write to you today to welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year! This summer has been busy at the elementary schools with the renovations and additions. The new additions will provide dedicated spaces for physical education, which will allow the cafeterias to be used as flexible learning spaces during the day. The STEM rooms will foster authentic applications of science and technology. The gymnasiums will provide the community with spaces that can be used for a variety of activities after school hours. 

     

    Our goal is to provide students with excellent experiences in academics, the arts, and athletics. We will maintain our focus on fostering positive school climates and enhancing student attendance rates. Families can expect Lincoln Public Schools to continue providing high-quality learning experiences for students in safe, supportive environments.

     

    There are several achievements that I would like to share with you from the 2024-2025 school year and this past summer. 

     

    • We are nearing completion of major renovations and additions to our elementary schools.

    • Reimagined cafeterias, STEM classrooms, and physical education spaces

    • A full heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) upgrade at Northern

    • The Town of Lincoln is installing a turf field at LMS

    • We continue to implement our high-quality instructional materials with integrity.

    We expect the new physical education spaces and STEM classrooms to open at the elementary schools this fall. Your child’s principal will inform you of progress as we get closer to completion of these spaces. The continued construction of the additions will not impact the opening of school.

    Wonderful things are happening in our schools. Our School Committee, Town Council, Town Administrator, and Budget Board provide the necessary support and resources to achieve our goals. The families of the Lincoln Public Schools are equally supportive as we work together to provide our children with the best educational experience possible. 

     

    I’m excited to welcome our students next week!

     

     

     

    Respectfully,
