Students whose first language is not English receive instructional support within the curriculum and through a structured English language program until English proficiency is achieved. Lincoln is a bilingual school, and all students are enrolled in Spanish classes determined by placement evaluations. Language support is tailored by grade to ensure access to the full curriculum. ELL and language specialists collaborate with classroom teachers to create a language-rich environment and monitor progress through regular assessments. The aim is for long-term students to achieve native-like proficiency in both English and Spanish.

Mental Wellbeing

The Wellness Center provides nursing care for primary assessment and health promotion to support learning, reduce absenteeism, and improve the wellbeing of the Lincoln community. A team of four registered nurses works with teachers, parents, and Lincoln staff to promote wellness and provide health services. The school nurses are trained as CPR, AED, and First Aid instructors and offer workshops on healthcare and prevention. Wellness is defined as an active process of becoming aware of needs and making choices toward a healthy life, in line with the World Health Organization definition of health as physical, mental, and social well-being. The Wellness Center supports student wellbeing across the school with ongoing health education and services.

Safeguarding

Lincoln maintains a Child Protection Policy to safeguard children and ensure they grow and develop in a safe environment. The school also maintains a Lincoln Safeguarding Policy and Handbook with guidelines for safeguarding and crisis intervention. Lincoln counselors and staff work to safeguard the rights of all members of the school community and provide prevention and intervention within a comprehensive school counseling program. The safeguarding policies are supported by ongoing staff training and collaboration with students, families, and administrators. These policies apply to all students, staff, and visitors.

Families receiving financial support are expected to perform some voluntary services for the school. The financial support application allows parents to list service areas where they feel qualified to volunteer. Application Process: contact Admissions; submit documents; await notification. Documentation: applications will not be considered until all documentation has been submitted; additional documentation may be requested; if documents are not submitted on time, applicants will wait until the next deadline and will not be eligible for financial support during the current semester; applicants may be asked to attend an interview with the Superintendent and the Business Manager.
