Hello Lincoln Eliot Students and Families,
We look forward to the start of a great school year.   You can expect a Sunday (Monday if there is a holiday) email blast from me communicating information about the upcoming week.  Weekly updates from the PTO will also be included.

Please call the Lincoln Eliot Office if you need help completing this form.

Purple Folders
Look for the purple Lincoln Eliot folder in your child’s backpack.  This folder is used to send information to and from school.  In the folder this week, you will find an information sheet from the PTO and a copy of  School Information 16-17.

State Primary Day
Thursday, September 8, 2016 is a primary voting day.   Lincoln Eliot is a polling station so expect to see voters entering and exiting the Jackson Road entrance.

Sincerely,

Jody Klein, Interim Principal

From the PTO

Welcome L-E Families!  The Lincoln-Eliot PTO is in the process of creating an online and printed directory for parents to contact other parents, as well as teachers and other L-E staff during the school year. The software that we are using (“My School Everywhere”) is also used by many of the Newton schools.

Only the members of our school community will have access to this information.  Please use the link below to create an account for your child/children.    Please enter ONLY the information that you would like recorded in the online and printed versions of the School Directory.

You can create the account here: Create Account

Once your account has been approved, you will receive a link to gain access to the Directory.  At this point, you can verify and edit your entry if needed.

You will also be able to visit the “Sign Up” tab, and see what community building and fundraising events we have planned for the year.

The “Sign Up” can also be accessed here: Sign Up

You can use this tab to sign up for many of our volunteer opportunities!  Remember – these events can only happen if we have members to help organize them.  Please consider volunteering!

Participation in the Directory is purely voluntary.  Please contact Andrea Hemment with any questions you might have (ahemment@gmail.com).

On behalf of the 2016-17 Lincoln-Eliot PTO, we wish you and your family a fantastic year!
