2012-2013

                  Dear Parents:

Welcome to Lincoln Trail Elementary School.  During this year we will be working together as partners to provide the best possible education for your child in a nurturing environment that is student centered and positive.  Your commitment is an important part of our educational process and communication is the key to assuring a successful year for your child. 

     We believe children should learn the academic and social skills to give them the traits necessary to become independent, responsible, life-long learners.  While instilling the importance of the treating each other responsible and always trying to do your best we have created three school rules:  Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe.

     Assisting your child with understanding the importance of these rules and reinforcing their concepts will assure that Lincoln Trail Elementary School is a safe, healthy and positive environment for everyone. 

     Teachers, support staff, parents and the community working hand-in-hand assure that we are helping our children learn the skills to become leaders for tomorrow.  Because we understand that students learn in diverse ways we value a variety of learning styles and teaching styles.  We understand, education is the key to a successful life and all of us are dedicated to providing the children of Lincoln Trail Elementary with a quality education in a safe environment.   By believing in excellence, we will work together to build the strong foundation necessary for success.  Remember, if you have any questions or concerns please contact us at 586-2811 or I can be reached by email at jstarwalt@ms.k12.il.us. 

     Thank you for entrusting us with the opportunity to educate your child.  It is going to be a great year!

Sincerely,

Jeff Starwalt Principal
