The Mission of Lincoln Elementary Magnet School with family and community support, is to provide an appropriate learning environment in order for students to succeed in academics, and develop patriotism, citizenship, and self-esteem.
Our Beliefs All students can learn, achieve, and succeed through challenging expectations that increase individual performance through whole group instruction. A student's self-esteem is enhanced by positive relationships and mutual respect among and between students and staff. Teachers, parents and the community share the responsibility for the support of the school's mission. Each student is a valued individual with unique physical, social, emotional and intellectual needs. Educating students for responsible citizenship is necessary for preserving democracy. In a democratic society, persons must value their country and what it stands for, understand what it means to be a responsible citizen and have the fundamental skills to participate in the society. Students learn best in a structured, orderly and safe environment where rewards are based on achievement rather than on effort. It is important to provide instruction and guidance for responsible citizenship. It is important to develop intellectual curiosity, problem solving and reasoning skills. It is important to provide an environment for learning that stresses self-discipline, order, respect for authority, and motivation to achieve.
