Message from the Principal
Dear Juarez-Lincoln Families,
It is a pleasure to serve you and your children as Principal of Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School for the 2022-2023 school year. We are committed to providing an excellent and rewarding educational experience to each and every student. This school year we will make magic happen at Juarez-Lincoln!
Families play an important role in supporting our educational journey and reaching our academic goals. I look forward to working with you to build and maintain a professional learning community that fosters genuine partnerships that fulfill our school’s vision of educational excellence. We will develop trusting relationships and continuous communication between families and the school. We will also develop specific strategies to create effective home-school partnerships.
Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School commands a climate of inclusivity and high expectations. Our staff is dedicated to cultivating relevance & relationships by getting to know and making connections with students and their cultural backgrounds. Everyone is valued and appreciated as an individual of great worth.
We will foster high levels of academic growth by utilizing explicit and systematic best practices/strategies that enable students to access the core curriculum through a variety of learning opportunities. Various assessment tools will be employed to monitor student growth. Results will be reported to parents/guardians through parent-teacher conferences, phone calls, virtual meetings, emails, etc. School-wide results and progress towards goals will be shared with families at principal coffee chats and through all parent leadership groups such as: Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), School Site Council (SSC), and English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC).
This handbook provides you with information about our school policies, procedures, schedules, and protocols that will ensure your child’s success at school. Please review this handbook with your child. Please note, that minor revisions are made to this handbook to keep our standards up to-date with Board and School Policies.
We can fulfill our school’s vision when we work as a professional learning community. We look forward to our partnership in making Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School a place of educational excellence where all children can learn, achieve, and thrive.
Your partner in education,
Mr. Robert Pollack
School Principal
Our Mission
The mission of Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School is to enable all students to become lifelong learners, to enable all students to become critical thinkers with the ability to analyze and learn from grade-level text, solve real-world math problems, and write academically to explain their understanding and knowledge. To become effective communicators and lifelong learners who are ready to take their place as leaders and full participants in our global society.
Our Vision and Values
Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School supports the belief that learning is a lifelong experience, which extends beyond the school environment, enabling individuals to reach their highest potentials. We value the diversity represented in our community and support the acquisition and maintenance of the primary language and culture of our community. We believe all children possess the ability to learn and we, therefore, value intelligence(s), interests, prior knowledge, family culture, first language, and children teaching other children. We believe that children learn best when they are involved in meaningful and relevant activities that are exciting as well as challenging and encourage students to deepen their understanding about the world around them.
Juarez-Lincoln Elementary School creates and maintains a physically and emotionally safe, orderly, and supportive learning environment in which students are able to explore, take risks, appropriately challenge authority and expand their skills as they become independent learners.
