Principal Claire Giardino

Lincoln Elementary is a child-centered school with a diverse community of students in kindergarten through fifth grade. We believe in addressing the individual needs of students through differentiated instruction. The Lincoln family of students, parents, and staff strive to build positive self-esteem, confidence, and academic success for all students. Our developmentally appropriate practices will help children acquire effective communication and problem-solving skills.

We believe that parental involvement is essential to the academic success of our students. We welcome parent participation at home and through our school PTO. Working together, we will empower the students at Lincoln Elementary to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to become life-long learners.

We provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and help them build relationships while making real-world connections.  It is important that everyone who steps through our doors -teachers, students and parents- are excited to be here and to be part of our school family!  This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment.

At Lincoln Elementary we believe we are all One School,One Family!
