| Welcome to the Lincoln Park School District. We are a medium-sized school district, comprised of a pre-K to fourth grade school and a middle school serving fifth through eighth grade students. The Lincoln Park School District offers a safe, student-centered atmosphere with an excellent curriculum and many student services. We provide small class sizes, varying extra curricular activities, and athletic teams which all optimize the learning environment.
The district possesses an enthusiastic and motivated staff who work together to maintain an environment conducive to academic excellence. Emphasis is placed on continual growth and development, and the Lincoln Park School District faculty takes advantage of many professional development opportunities, including workshops, seminars, conferences, and graduate courses. Many of our teachers have received advanced degrees in the educational field. They consistently look for strategies and new instructional methodology to better meet the needs of each and every unique child in the District. These staff members provide a quality education in a safe and supportive environment.
During this past year the Lincoln Park Community approved a referendum in the amount of 2.14 million dollars to improve the physical make up of the District’s school buildings and grounds. The process of replacing the boiler in the middle school began in August. The work will be completed in time for the heating season. The referendum will also support a window/door replacement project, lighting upgrades, and improved security for the school buildings. A project that will take place next year will bring upgrades to the middle school playing fields. The improvements are a direct result of the Board of Education’s desire to keep the buildings safe for children and staff, while providing a comfortable learning environment. The Board also realizes that the school buildings are an asset to the community and is fiscally prudent to keep them well maintained.
The Lincoln Park School District provides a positive learning environment. We are proud of our students, staff, and our community. Lincoln Park’s success is a direct result of students, staff, and parents working together. The Parent Teacher Organization plays a vital role in the success of the school district. I strongly encourage you to become an active member of the PTO. We are fortunate to have a very supportive community.
