Each middle school has created transition information videos welcoming fifth grade students to their new building. This will give students the best introduction possible to their new surroundings for the next three years. You can access these videos by going to the website of your new school. We encourage you to sit down with your student to watch and review it together.
The first day of school for students next fall is Monday, August 16, 2021. This will be just for sixth grade students at the middle school so they can get acclimated to the new building without the 7th and 8th graders in attendance.
May 7 will be the last day families can request for students to switch between remote learning or in-person learning for this school year. The only exception will be for students who have been directed to self-quarantine due to exposure to COVID-19.
If you wish for your child to return to in-person learning for the last two weeks of school, you will need to communicate the change with your school’s office by May 7.
The Extra Mile Walk is a collaboration between LPS and the Food Bank of Lincoln to raise money for LPS’s BackPack program and Food Markets. This year, the walk will be completely virtual during April 26-30.
Children are our most important and valuable assets, and research shows that healthy, well-nourished children are much better learners. During the week, our students who qualify for free and reduced lunches are provided nutritious breakfasts and lunches at school. In fact, for some students, the school’s breakfast and lunch are their only meals of the day. However, during the weekend this can create a food crisis for these children and their families; a weekend can be a long time to go without food.
Each month, more than 5,000 LPS students at 54 schools and programs receive food support through the Food Bank’s Child Hunger Programs, including the BackPack Program, School Food Markets and Student-Parent Program.
Thank you for your support for this crucial cause!
The NSCAS will be administered to students in grade 3-5 from March 30- April 22.
During the testing periods, we encourage you to make sure your son or daughter is in school, unless they are ill. The best preparation for these tests is to come to school well rested with a positive attitude toward taking the tests.
Lincoln Public Schools provides a high-quality, half-day Early Childhood Preschool program for children who reside within the Lincoln Public Schools.

Children who are at least 3 years of age on or before July 31, 2021 and who have not yet turned five as of July 31, 2021, are eligible to apply.
Note: Zeman does not have pre-school. Your student, if accepted, would attend another Lincoln Public School.
Due to the pandemic, the USDA is federally funding breakfast and lunch at no charge to all students while the federal funding lasts.

A la carte food items including milk and second entrees will still be available to purchase with money in the meal account or cash.
