2020-2021 School year calendar

Safety information

All schools will follow the regular calendar and schedule. Additional safety measures will be in place to minimize exposure. Students and staff must have a mask and will be required to wear them in certain situations, like the bus, serving lines, and clinics. There will no longer be shared school supplies. Enhanced cleaning procedures will be in place to disinfect high-touch surfaces. Additional hand sanitizer stations are set and strategic procedures will be in place to require students to wash their hands. Classrooms will be reorganized to maximize available space. Schedules will be adjusted in some cases to keep a greater separation of students. Visitors in schools will be significantly limited. School clinics will have a separate space to treat symptomatic students. Students and staff who are sick must be fever free without the use of fever-reducing medication for at least 72 hours to return to school.

The BCSC Health Services Supervisors, Jennifer Wright, RN and Stephanie Zehner, RN will work in conjunction with the Hendricks County Health Department in response to confirmed cases of COVID-19. Their service to our schools is made possible by our partnership with Hendricks Regional Health (HRH) and both have been heavily involved in HRH’s response since the start of the pandemic.

SECOND WAVE
If the number of cases of COVID-19 reaches a level where state and local officials determine that school cannot meet in person, At Home Learning will resume with changes from the previous version. BCSC has already expanded the use of Schoology to include all middle school students with the option to include elementary students if needed. Schoology is a platform that allows for the delivery of course work, the collection of materials, and the ability to administer tests. This all happens within one program without the need to check in several places for the assigned work. A schedule that allows for direct instruction of core classes to students while at home would be put in place to eliminate the overlap of classes. Technology gaps will be identified with computers available on loan from BCSC.

New Information & Updates

Box Tops-- We know it may be challenging for people to send traditional Box Tops clips to school this year—and we've come up with a plan to help everyone turn in their Box Tops safely and ensure your school receives as much cash as possible during these difficult times.

This year, we're opening up our submission process to ALL Box Tops supporters. While we are advising families to check with their school's Coordinator first, we are allowing all Box Tops participants to submit their Box Tops individually. If you are still able to collect and submit yourself, you are free to do so, but we want to give everyone the option to submit in the event they can't turn in unexpired traditional clips at your school.

Parents need to go to the submission section of the Box Tops website, where they can see simple, step-by-step instructions. This year, all Box Tops fall submissions must be postmarked by November 2. Submissions postmarked by the deadline will be processed in the order received. All submissions received by the deadline can take up to 3 weeks to process from that November 2 deadline. Any questions, you can email Shannon Dixon at Boxtops4LincolnElementary@gmail.com. 

Amazon Prime vs Amazon Fresh- They are the same thing!! You get your groceries delivered to you that day "usually". The difference is that if you use Amazon Fresh a percentage of your order will be donated to Lincoln Elementary. If you use Amazon Prime app does not do this. If you want to use Amazon Fresh it is at the top when you open the amazon shopping app. As a reminder if you shop Amazon to go to Amazon.com/smile so a percentage of your purchases will go to Lincoln that way as well. If you have any questions on setting it up, you can get those under the parents tab or email lincolpsgboard@gmail.com.
