For the safety of our students, the Lincoln Middle School has designated areas where students may be dropped off at school. Between 7:15 a.m. and 8:00 a.m., parent drop off is DOOR 10 (11th Ave E. - cafeteria doors).  If at all possible, do not drop your child off at school prior to 7:15, as there will be no adult supervision.  If they are dropped off prior to 7:15, students must wait in a designated area of the building. Walkers may enter at these doors, as well. Breakfast will be available beginning at 7:15 and students will be supervised in various areas from 7:15 - 7:50. Students may report to the cafeteria for breakfast, the auditorium, the media center, or the playground prior to school starting.

Parents/guardians must inform the school of any changes in the pick up plan. Written notice must be provided for someone else to pick up your child. Written notice or a phone call is required to alert staff of changes in the student’s pick up plan. 

YOU MUST DROP OFF AND PICK UP YOUR CHILD IN THE DESIGNATED AREAS.

• Please don’t park at any point in the ‘flow through lane’.
• If you need to accompany your child to the main entrance door, you will need to utilize the parking lot on the south side of the school and walk with them to the main door. This will lessen congestion and reduce the risk of any accidents.
