      Greetings Lincoln Parents and Guardians,


      Happy summer!  I wanted to take a moment to share some of the great things that happened in each of our schools last year and send along some information about the many exciting projects we have going on at all of our district schools now and into the 2024-2025 school year..  All of these projects as well as the exciting work our faculty, staff, administration, and students completed last year supports our collective vision of making Lincoln Public Schools a world-class educational experience for our students. 

      Last Fall, the Physical Education Center was completed and had its grand opening and dedication ceremony.  Every day, our high school students and the Lincoln community as a whole enjoy using this athletic complex for physical education classes, sports practices, and town league events.  In the Spring of 2024, solar panels were installed on the roof of the PEC and the high school and we anticipate the Physical Education Center to be the state’s first net-zero energy school facility!

      This summer and continuing into next year, you will see a good amount of construction taking place at all of our elementary schools as the Gymnasium additions and cafeteria renovations begin to take shape. These projects have an anticipated completion date of the Summer of 2025.  We ask for your collective patience and understanding as each of the elementary campuses goes through this transformation to benefit our students. In addition to these projects, Lonsdale, Central and Saylesville elementary schools are getting bathroom renovations which will be completed for the opening of school.  For up-to-date information on the construction and renovation projects, please visit the construction and capital projects page on our district website which can be found HERE.  This site will give you updated information on all of the projects going on districtwide. 

      In addition to the work at the elementary schools, our middle school is getting a new intercom system and new turf fields.  Our high school is having a new front entryway and facade being installed this summer and we also anticipate having new bathroom improvements for our high school athletic field events in 2025!  

      The Lincoln Public Schools continue to have supportive and cooperative relationships with our town officials and many of these upgrades are a result of a true team effort on the part of the Lincoln Town Council, Administrator Gould, the Lincoln Budget Board and the Lincoln School Committee.  We are very fortunate to have such a supportive educational community. It is through this collective support that the Lincoln Public Schools continue to thrive and provide a world-class education for your children.  Please take a moment to read the following updates and superlatives from each of our principals about all of the wonderful things that happened this year in our schools!

      Dr. Lawrence P. Filippelli
      Superintendent of Schools
