Welcome Families!

We are SO EXCITED to have you in our Lincoln family for the 2023-2024 school year, and I am extremely proud to serve as the new Principal here. I know that my experience as a former teacher in the Early Intervention Program will help me navigate the transition as our school administrator.

If you are new to our school family or are browsing our website, here is a little bit more about our program: we serve preschool aged children with special needs who meet eligibility requirements for special education services as outlined by the state of Idaho and are on an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). We have an AMAZING staff of certified early childhood special education teachers, highly qualified paraprofessionals, a school psychologist, occupational and physical therapists, and speech and language pathologists who work with our young learners. We are housed in the same building as the Head Start program, and we are part of the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District #25 where most of our students transition to Kindergarten.

If you are a returning family, you may find that some things have changed this year, for instance, the use of ClassTag for communicating with families about important updates. We also have a few new faces on our staff: Wenda Hansen (early childhood special education teacher), Ali Stacks (speech and language assistant), Cami Turner and Misty Poppleton (classroom paraprofessionals). As we continuously reflect, we will continue to make improvements to our program.

This year the Pocatello/Chubbuck School District #25’s focus is reinvigorating the classroom and finding joy. We are lucky at Lincoln to experience joy with our young learners as they acquire new skills and make progress toward their goals. Some of these things may seem small: improved mobility, being able to greet a peer, learning to cut with scissors; but as we know, for children with developmental delays these acquisitions can be huge accomplishments and stepping stones to reaching more developmental milestones.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter, for showing your interest in our Early Intervention Program, and for trusting us to help your child work toward achieving developmental milestones.

Best,

Natalie Jones, Principal

Head Start's Annual Box Car Race Event is November 30th 5:30-7
Head Start Annual Box Car Race Fatherhood Event

On November 30th, Head Start will host its annual Box Car Race Fatherhood Event for Head Start families. Dads can come and build a box car with their Head Start child, then race against other dads down the hall. Following the race, there will be a short drive-in movie, and dinner will be provided. This is a wonderful opportunity for fathers to spend quality time with their child and connect with other Head Start fathers. Mothers are invited to come and cheer on their team.

Head Start Coat Drive 2023

On November 9th, 2023, Head Start hosted our annual coat drive. A huge thank you goes out to the Pocatello Fire Department, Idaho Central Credit Union, and those in the community who donated through United Way of Southeastern Idaho for their monetary generosity and for dedicating their time to make this coat drive possible. It was amazing to witness the excitement of our students as they received their new coats and hats, ensuring that they have warm attire for the winter!

Bunny on Carpet
Visitors From the Farm

Miss Curria's class had some special guests in their classroom last week!  Bunnies from a local farm were able to come and visit!  The students enjoyed holding the bunnies as well as learning more about where they live and what they eat.  They even got to feed them carrots!

FRED (Families Reading Every Day)

For every 15 minutes you read with your child, write the date in a box. When all the boxes are dated, return this log for a free book to keep and enjoy at home. Head start is funded by a federal grant. In order to keep getting this grant, Head Start has to match 30% of our grant dollars with volunteer or or donated time/materials. Each hour you spend with your child reading contributes $17.24 to our grant. Filling out this sheet will gain $258.60 grant dollars for Head Start!
