Hello Lincoln Middle School families, this is a reminder about our bag policy. Starting Tuesday, September 2, any student who brings a backpack to school must use a clear backpack. If students choose to carry a purse during the day, it must be clear as well. This helps us keep everyone safe and speeds up entry. If your student doesn’t bring a bag, nothing changes for them. Thank you for your support, and have a great holiday weekend.

June 2025 Dear Lincoln Middle School Families, As we close out another memorable school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for your continued partnership, trust, and support. Together, we've celebrated student successes, overcome challenges, and created a school community that is caring, committed, and proud. This year, our students demonstrated resilience, growth, and school spirit—whether in the classroom, on the field, on the stage, or through their everyday acts of kindness and hard work. We are proud of all they have accomplished and excited for what lies ahead. To our 8th graders and their families, congratulations! To those returning—rest, recharge, and enjoy a well-deserved break. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another great year. Mark your calendars: the first day of school is Monday, August 25, 2025. We will be sharing important back-to-school information in early August, so please keep an eye on your email and our website. Wishing all of our LMS families a safe, relaxing, and joyful summer. Thank you again for being such an important part of our school community. Warm regards, Mr. Filiccia Principal Lincoln Middle School

Families, Tomorrow is our MSTEP state mandated testing. We have to start at 8 AM sharp so make sure your child gets a good night sleep and is here on time. Just a reminder the scores from these assessments help dictate what their schedule will look like next year. I'm only asking students to give their best effort and take their time. We offer all students and end the year field trip. To be eligible for that field trip, Students were told that they need to be here on time and give maximum effort. Also, those parents did not make it to conferences last week. Report cards will be mailed out and should be to all of your homes sometime next week. Thanks, Mr. Filiccia & Ms Hoekstra
