About Our School |
| |
Abraham Lincoln Elementary School offers an exciting learning environment for students in Kindergarten through Fourth Grade.
At Abraham Lincoln Elementary, the staff implements consistent and developmentally appropriate curriculum and methodologies to meet the needs of all students. Our classroom teachers are skilled at providing differentiated instruction, a process that guarantees all students will be challenged to learn at their own levels--beginning, developing and expanding. We emphasize positive behavior support and maintain a climate where students and staff feel safe and valued. Technology is an important part of all we do. Most important of all, computers in the classroom and the computer lab are used for hands-on learning and exploration. Parents and guardians are important partners in the learning process. We have an active PTO and encourage volunteer involvement at all levels in our school.
We invite you to learn more about our school by exploring this site. Whether you are a current member of the Abraham Lincoln "Family," a prospective homeowner, or an alumni returning for a cyberspace homecoming, Abraham Lincoln Elementary School welcomes you!

H1N1 Update--On
October 14, the school district was notified of two test-confirmed cases of
H1N1 at Bethel Park High School and cases have also been confirmed at Neil
Armstrong Middle School, Lincoln Elementary School, Memorial Elementary
School and Franklin Elementary School. There have also been several
students throughout the district who have exhibited flu-like symptoms and
have been diagnosed by their doctors as having H1N1 or H1N1-like symptoms,
but their conditions were not officially confirmed via laboratory testing.
Please click
here to read a letter to all Bethel Park families from Dr. Knight, that
outlines what parents can do to help keep their children from
getting/spreading H1N1 or other viruses. If you or any member of your
family experience flu-like symptoms, you are encouraged to contact your
family physician. As always, the best defense against communicable
disease is proper hand washing. We ask parents to keep their children
home if they are exhibiting symptoms or do not feel well. Please
