A Message From the Principal Lynn Shimada

Welcome to the Lincoln Elementary School website.

At Lincoln School we provide a challenging educational program for every student while building a sense of positive self worth essential to academic and social success. Families, children, staff, and community members work together to create a learning environment in which children's ethical, social, and intellectual development are interconnected and integrated into activities across our rigorous curriculum.

Our staff uses teaching strategies and methods which stimulate children's natural curiosity and desire to learn. We focus on opportunities for students to take real-life experiences and make connections to new information. Strategies in the classroom provide opportunities for students to work together to find solutions to problems, and to explore a variety of methods for furthering their own learning. Communication between families, teachers, and students is an important element in the maintenance of our caring community.

We are fortunate to have two strong parent organizations to support our school program. Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and our School Site Council (SSC) work together to provide an enriching and dynamic environment for our students. We invite you to become active in our shared decision making process, and to join us in providing the best possible educational setting for your child.

At Lincoln School we focus on developing lifelong learners whose sense of pride in achievement is intrinsically motivated by an enjoyment and appreciation of learning. We welcome any questions you may have regarding our academic program.
