Here’s a Special Education Update.
Your child’s case manager should have reached out to you last week. If you have not heard from him or her, please email your child’s building principal or coordinator. Thank you for your continued collaboration.

If you need any counseling or Social and Emotional Supports, you can contact someone at LPS by emailing someone listed on the contacts page which is linked at LPS.ORG. There is also a link below in the transcript: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1k09U8wP2v1wB_H6CmvMvq44cTHs86lY69FYzQlcMJ3Q/edit#gid=0
School social workers and other school staff may not be able to immediately answer an email or a message but will work to respond within 24 hours of any message received between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM Monday through Friday. Emails or messages received overnight or on the weekend will be answered the next week day.

and at Northeast High School and at Lincoln High School where you’ll enter the circle on 21st and J Streets and follow staff directions.

From the Food Bank of Lincoln
Any family is welcome to pick up pre-packaged bags of food from the Lincoln Food Bank during their food distribution. More information about their schedule can be found at their website: LincolnFoodBank.org

The Lincoln Community Learning Centers value the importance of engaging our youth in fun and enriching “afterschool” opportunities. We recognize that these are very unusual times, and we believe that we can best serve our youth and families by providing online resources and ideas for activities that can be done at home. We will continue to add to this list of opportunities on the LPS website, so check back frequently!

A Reminder about Chromebook Tech Support:
If you are experiencing problems with your Lincoln Public Schools student Chromebook, please contact our Help Desk Monday through Friday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Call 402-436-1735 and be ready with your student identification number, or go to help.lps.org and enter your student login information.

For the health and safety of our families and staff, we will no longer be taking walk-ins at the LPS District Office for Chromebook repairs. You must call the Help Desk at 402-436-1735 and schedule an appointment first.
