Class Placements

As you know, we have begun the process of class placements for the 2008-2009 school year.  We have received several letters of request for student placement.  Each letter is reviewed and your thoughts and concerns are always considered.  However, it is important to point out that request are not a guarantee of placements.  Many request include specific teacher names or specific student names.  While we work to provide the best environment for all students, we can never guarantee a student will be or will not be placed with a specific student or teacher. 

For the upcoming year we know a lot about who will be teaching at each grade level, but not all decisions have been completed.  We can share what we know at this point.  First, Mrs. Lantvit has announced that she will be moving to Pennsylvania with her husband over the summer.  While we are sorry to lose Mrs. Lantvit and sincerely thank her for her work on behalf Lincoln students, we also understand that this is a great opportunity for her.  We wish her the best of luck with all of her future endeavors.

We are happy to announce that Mrs. Dana Gillis will be taking over for Mrs. Lantvit during the 2008-2009 school year.  Mrs. Gillis has been working as an AM kindergarten teacher this year and we are thrilled to have her returning full time at second grade.  As of right now, Lincoln will have approximately the same number of sections of class for the 2008-2009 school year.  However, they will not all be in the same places.  Below is a list of both sections and teachers assigned to the sections.
