It has been the desire of Lincoln's staff to create an atmosphere of shelter, safety and success for sixth graders, and continue our fair and strong discipline plan, initiate a strong sixth grade academic program, and building upon our present strong student support system. Having been successful, the focus now shifts to inclusion of sixth graders into more of the middle school programs in which seventh and eight graders participate. The school community continues to support and educational program which provides a solid foundation for all students in skill, knowledge, and basic ethical and moral values. WOW Card program, Golden State Exam, Honor rolls at semesters, and Talent Show recognize students for their effort and work. Standards and expectations regarding student behavior are well defined by teachers and understood by students.
Teachers take part and pride in the school discipline program.
Guideline posters, which delineate the consequences for behavior as the repercussions for improper behavior evolve, are clearly displayed, and the program is strengthened by consistent enforcement by all teachers and administrators. SAC counsels students and assigns after-school or Saturday detention. Students needing more direct intervention for behavior unsuitable for the classroom participate in a self-contained environment from one to eight periods depending on need. The focus of the program is to assist students in taking responsibility for their own behaviors, revise inappropriate habits and attitudes and return to the regular classroom setting.
