* 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!

• Cafeteria Earns 3 Black Diamond Awards from Health Department--Congratulations to the Lincoln cafeteria staff, who recently received 3 Black Diamond Awards from the Allegheny County Health Department as a result of its most recent inspection.  Black Diamonds are presented to the facilities that have demonstrated exceptional conditions of cooking, cooling, reheating, hot and cold holding, protection from cross-contamination and sanitation, as well as having a certified manager on staff.  Congratulations!
 
• Renovation Work Completed! -- Students moved into the new addition at Lincoln on Monday, December 3.  All that needs to be done is the completion of the roof and landscaping projects, which will be done when the weather improves.  Please click here to see some "progress" photos of Lincoln and the other schools that had summer renovation projects.
 
• Lincoln Earns Keystone Achievement Award! For the third consecutive year, Abraham Lincoln Elementary School has been awarded the Keystone Achievement Award by the Pennsylvania Department of Education for making Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) on the PSSA Exams for two consecutive years.  This year's award is for PSSA Scores in 2005-2006 and 2006-2007.  Congratulations to our third and fourth graders and their teachers for their outstanding work on these tests and keep up the good work!  To see the district's PSSA scores for 2006-2007, please click here.
 
• Effective with the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year, the Bethel Park School District is no longer preparing a Supply List of items that parents must purchase for their children prior to the start of the school year.  The district will provide all required materials.  Parents and students may choose to purchase additional items that they may find to be useful and beneficial, but will not be required to do so.
 
• Visitor Sign-In Procedures Revised for ALL Bethel Park Schools. The following sign-in procedures have been adopted for ALL visitors to Bethel Park schools. We appreciate your cooperation as we continue to provide a safe environment for our students and staff.
  1. ALL visitors to Bethel Park schools will report directly to the main office upon entry into the building.
  2. Visitors will log-in their name, date, time and reason for visit on a standardized log-in sheet in each school office.
  3. The building secretary will verify the information is complete and will obtain photo identification from the visitor, which will be held in the office for the duration of the visitor’s time in the building.
  4. Visitors will be issued visitor’s tag that must be worn visibly during the time of the visit.
  5. At the conclusion of the visit, the visitor will return the visitor’s tag to the office, log out and their photo identification will be returned to the visitor.
 

• NEW in 2007-2008—On days when a two hour delay is called, the district will operate a Modified Kindergarten Schedule as follows:

  • Morning Kindergarten will attend from 11:20 AM to 1 PM
  • Afternoon Kindergarten will attend from 2 to 3:40 PM

Modified Kindergarten equalizes both sessions to 1 hour, 40 minutes of instruction.  Please take note of this change to the schedule.  Please click here for more information.

 
• The Bethel Park School District has purchased subscriptions to the Online Edition of your child's textbooks for Science in Grades 1-4, and for Social Studies in Grade 4. The Harcourt Brace e-books feature the student edition pages, plus a variety of dynamic and engaging resources to enhance students' learning experiences. We are excited about the extensions of learning that can take place without taking books home from school. The e-books provide interactive graphics, animations, along with audio, vocabulary words, and printable pages to support learning. 

All Bethel Park elementary students have been given a log-in and password to allow access to these two textbooks from home (or any computer) via the website. We encourage parents to log-in with their children to experience the learning opportunities these e-books provide.
The directions are simple:

  1. Go to www.eharcourtschool.com
  2. Enter your log-in (you can find your log-in name on the Welcome letter that was sent home)
  3. Type your password
  4. Select your on-screen textbook by pointing and clicking on it.
 
•  The Harcourt Storytown reading program for grades 1-4 is now available on-line.  The login and password for Storytown is slightly different than the login procedures for the Science and Social Studies books. Your child's login will be: lastnamefirstinitial and the password will be lincoln.  This login and password will be valid for your child for each year in grades 1-4 and will be rolled over each year to the new grade level so your child will always see the materials for the current grade level.  Please feel free to call the Lincoln office if you have questions about logging in for these books.
