Welcome to the Home of the Huskies !
Click on any of the links below to find out about Lincoln Heights and the great things happening here:
At Lincoln Heights, student and staff safety is our number one concern. There are several students and staff members with serious, and potentially life-threatening, allergies. We ask that you help keep these people safe by refraining from sending in any nut products and any oranges/orange products (mandarines, clementines...)
Thank you for your help and support! |
Principal's Message:
Lincoln Heights Public School fosters an environment in which people accept responsibility for their own learning and behaviour. It is a place for building relationships through acting responsibly and in a caring manner and demonstrating respect for one another while learning together.
Staff members are committed to providing each student with a quality education that promotes the development and pride in academic and social skills focussing on respect, effort and responsibility. The school and community share the belief that a caring, supporice school environment with high standards for achievement promotes individual growth - academically, physically, socially and emotionally. The school values the active role that our parents play in their schildren't education and encourages open communication to ensure the best possible learning opportunities for students. The principal makes certain that the culture of the school reflects the school community and its shared values.
Parents are invited to contact the school (519-884-4010) throughout the year, if you have any questions or concerns. Together, we can meet the educational needs of our students. ~ Mr. Brian Morgan

Severe Weather Procedures - School Closing
There are many reasons why a school may be closed, either before school starts in the morning, or during the school day. We are quickly approaching the time of year when snow and ice are commonplace. Please note the following important information. Lincoln Heights P.S. will only be closed if the severe weather warrants closure ofa ll schools in the Waterloo Region. Otherwise, Lincoln Heights P.S. will remain open all day and students will be dismissed at the regular time.
In order to effectively assist you and your child during severe weather conditions, it is essential that we have the correct home, business and emergency telephone numbers in case we need to contact you. Please notify the office if any of your contact numbers, your emergency contact numbers or you address has changed.
Bus cancellations and school closures will be announced and periodically repeared on the following radio stations: Kool FM (105.3), CKWR (98.5), Magic FM (106.1), CHYM (96.7), and Country 570
Several different announcements are possible including information about other areas and both city and rural schools in Waterloo Region. Please listen carefully to the announcement. If it states that all schools of the Waterloo Region District School Board are closed then you should not come to school. If the announcement states that buses/taxis are canceled and only certain schools are closed, then you are expected to attend unless you are transported by a school bus/taxi.
