Patriot Notes By Val Fox, LHS Principal

On behalf of the administration and staff

at Lincoln High, I want to welcome you back to a new school year. We especially want to welcome all students who are new to Lincoln—we are glad you are here! Please read this newsletter carefully as there are many notices and information about important dates.

We have been busy this summer with completing all schedules and getting the

building ready for fall. Our major construction project this summer has been the installation of a new boiler system (and all the duct work, etc.) that is pretty much on sched-ule, and things will be fine when school starts.

We will be welcoming new staff this fall to Lincoln. Our new staff includes: Joey Struwe (assistant principal/activities, athletics); Monica Conover (Spanish); Karen Rodgers (head oral interp coach/language arts); Cori White (special education); Rebecca Kaiser (science); Mike Magnuson (math); Emily Koo (part-time ELL). We are excited to welcome our new Patriot staff!

I would like to encourage all parents to com-plete the online registration forms BEFORE Patriot Power Day (August 24). Your information is updated on your Parent Portal account. After logging into the

Parent Portal, a link for Online Registration can be

found under the left menu. If you need help, just call the school and we can assist you. You may come in to the school and complete this registration ahead of August 24 if you need computer access. No student will be able to receive their updated schedule or purchase a parking permit without having the online registra-tion completed.

Please mark your calendars for Wednesday, Au-gust 24 for Patriot Power Day! This is the date when your students will have their ID pictures taken, receive updated schedules, deposit lunch money and buy year-books. It is also the day for students to purchase parking

permits. We only allow one parking permit per family due to our limited space. We will be using an online pro-cess for filling out the paperwork ahead of time and col-lecting checks on the Patriot Power Day. We assign park-ing permits to seniors first, then juniors, then sopho-mores. If your child cannot attend on this date, they may

NOT have someone else come in their place—they may call the office and have their name placed on a waiting list for a parking sticker. Please note that ALL FEES for lost textbooks, chromebook fees, etc. must be taken care of before schedules are given out or parking passes purchased. No chromebooks will be issued to students with out-

standing chromebook fees.

PATRIOT PRESS

Lastly, we are very proud of the hard work our stu-dents display in the classroom and on the athletic fields, and we want them to stay focused in a positive manner. Any form of bullying or harassment will not be tolerated.

We also appreciate help from parents/guardians in regards to appropriate dress for school. Shorts/skirts must be mid-thigh or longer and no tube tops, spaghetti strap tops or tops that are too low or revealing are allowed. Thank you in advance for your help. We are here to assist all students at Lincoln High. Please do not hesitate to call about concerns or questions.

Thank you for your support of excellence in education at Lincoln High! Go Pats!

Patriot Power Day Wednesday, August 24

This is the day that Lincoln High School students (freshmen, sophomores, juniors, and seniors) get updated

Yearbook Information for

Parents of 2017 Graduates Start planning for your student’s senior pic-

ture submission to the yearbook. A photo must be emailed to SFSDLHSYearbook@k12.sd.us by Thursday,

December 1. The photo must be emailed by you, not your photographer, so you can receive a confirmation email. If a picture is not submitted, your child’s ID picture will be used instead. We will accept only vertical headshots. We will not accept horizontal pictures or full-body photographs. The resolution of the picture needs to be 300 dpi. When the photo is submitted by you, please rename the file in the

following manner: last name, legal first name (not nick-name). Please email Mrs. Peters at rebecca.mehrens-peters@k12.sd.us if you have any questions. Thank you!

National Honor Society Congratulations to the 79 new members who were inducted into the LHS chapter of NHS in May. Congratula-tions to the elected officers: President - Daniel Gertner; Vice President - Sophia Haan; Secretary - Mandy Neff. Interested in becoming a member of LHS Na-tional Honor Society? Freshmen, sophomores and

juniors—start now to prepare yourselves. Evidence of the four pillars of NHS (scholarship, leadership, character, and service) during your high school career is a primary part of the application. So, what can you do to prepare yourself for this process? Maintain strong grades and be an active part of the community and Lincoln High School. Keep track of your accomplishments, involvement, and volunteerism, and

lead in the classroom and beyond, both formally and by example. Seniors (who aren't already NHS members) and juniors who have a GPA of 3.5 or higher will be invited to apply for membership in the early part of the second se-mester.

Current NHS members

1. Join Google Classroom with code rxf28h if you haven’t yet. Check Google Classroom for NHS news from time to time. Reminders, announcements, and new opportu-nities will be posted on GC, including items posted dur-ing the summer. You will also find information there for subscribing for text message reminders if you wish.

2. Remember to keep track of your volunteer hours from

this summer and into the fall, and fill out a service hours form (see Google Classroom). It’s ideal to take the form with you to your volunteer events to get the supervisor signature most conveniently. Each member must fulfill 6 hours of service per semester, ideally in-cluding one NHS sponsored event. Summer service hours count in semester one.

AP English Lit & Comp Any senior who is registered for AP English Lit & Comp must be sure to get the summer reading assignment

and have it completed by the first day of class this fall. If you registered after school ended or if you did not get the book and the assignment in the spring, stop by the LHS registrar's office and pick up the book and the handout. Look on the website for the course http://sb169.k12.sd.us for details. E-mail Mrs. Bull at su-

san.bull@k12.sd.us if you have any questions.

LHS LIBRARY NEWS SUMMER READING ASSIGNMENTS

All 2016-2017 ninth and tenth grade students have required summer reading; check your e-mail or ask your student for more details. Summer reading assignments were distributed to students in May. Copies of the summer read-ing assignment can be found online by clicking on the fol-lowing links:

English I OR English II In order to help with summer reading work, the LHS Library will be open Tuesdays, July 26 and August 2, 9:00 A.M.-1:00 P.M. Students can come to the library to pick up a book for their summer reading assignment or grab a book to enjoy over the rest of the summer. Students, stop in and share what great books you have been reading and get ideas on what to read next. You can find more information on all the library services at Mrs. Peters’ website: http://mmpeters.weebly.com Have a great rest of the summer!

Physicals and Athletic Participation Packets

The 2016-2017 school year Athletic Participa-tion Packets and Physical Forms are now available for you to pick up in the school office. The Athletic Partici-pation Packet will also be included in the Online Regis-tration that you will update prior to school starting. If your child does not need a physical, please fill

open from August 1 until August 19. On Patriot Power Day, all students who have applied on-line (beginning with seniors) must be present and pay in full to receive their permit.

Look for a parking link on the LHS home page in the upcoming week. *Only one permit per family. All outstanding fees must be paid prior to receiving a permit. Students must be present on Patriot Power Day to receive permit.
