Principal's Message
Greetings, Welcome to Lincoln Elementary School! My name is Mr. Tracey E. Jenkins, and I am entering my third year as Principal of Lincoln Elementary. I have been an educator for over 30 years and a Principal for 16 years, and being here at Lincoln has proven to be one of my most rewarding assignments as a school administrator. The Lincoln Staff and I are incredibly excited about the 2024-2025 school year! Why are we excited, you ask? Well, at the beginning of last school year, we set 3 Goals for Lincoln: 1) To make growth Academically in Math & Language Arts, 2) To improve our overall Attendance, and 3) To increase our Parent Involvement. We are extremely pleased to say that we MET ALL 3 GOALS! Academically, we had significant increases in Math & English Language Arts. Our Attendance data showed an increase in our average daily attendance and a decrease in the number of scholars identified as chronically absent. And, due to the increased number of parents who joined our PTO last year and those who volunteered on campus, our Parent Involvement also improved. These are reasons to be excited and to celebrate our successes!
With the addition of a Transitional Kindergarten class and two 6th-grade classrooms this year, we will continue building on the positive growth and changes made. With the support of our parents, scholars, staff, and community, the sky is the limit! So get ready, Lions, to again ROAR with P.R.I.D.E. (Problem Solve—Respect—Integrity—Determination—Excellence)! Because our Scholars Can... Will…and MUST LEARN!
Here’s to a Blessed 2024-2025 School Year!
With Anticipation, Optimism, and Enthusiasm,
Mr. Jenkins
