Ice Skating with Buddies
Thanks to our PTO and the City of St. Joseph, our Lincoln School K-5 students will be able to
ice skate for free at the Howard Ice Arena on Tuesday, December 17. Our class will walk with
our buddies in Mrs. Mutchler's class to and from the ice rink. We will skate from 11:15-11:45.
The ice-skating and skate rental is FREE for our students and any parents that can come and help.
The more adults we can have helping students with skates, the better! The number of skates
per size is limited. If your child has their own skates, label with their name and allow them to bring
them that day. Skates brought to and/or from school on the bus must be in a duffle bag or a
brown paper bag. Safety/protective helmets are also encouraged & welcomed.

Tardiness
As someone who has to put forward quite a bit of effort to be on time I understand how
difficult it can be. That being said, I have a HUGE concern with how many students are
tardy each day. I start the day promptly at 8:35 so if your child comes in after that time, they
are already starting their day behind. Research conducted by the US Department of Education
on truancy shows that students "who are frequently tardy have lower grades, scores on
standardized assessments, and graduation rates. Chronic tardiness in elementary and middle
school is associated with failure in high school." PLEASE consider what being late is doing to
your child's start of the day and the start of his or her education. Thank you for your consideration.
