Principal's report - Craig Homnick
Testing season is in full swing. Kids are working hard. 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades are testing for about 1 hour every morning.
Dress Code: Questions came up about the dress code by a parent. The handbook is reviewed by the LPSG every year. Craig read aloud the current Lincoln handbook policy and the VANSD policy. Discussion ensued among those in attendance. Craig wants feedback from all in attendance so he can consider what (if any) changes to make.

Karen Holmstrom: Spirit Wear Orders update.
All orders are in. Ordering closed. Items will ship on the 20th and it takes 5-10 days to arrive after ship date. Orders will come to Lincoln. Each order will be in a bag and labelled. Email will go out to parents for pick up at the office with a deadline for pick up. After the deadline remaining orders will be delivered to the classrooms. It worked well in the spring.
