Family Update

January 19, 2026

 
19 January 2026

Dear Parents and Caregivers,
I hope that you are all having a wonderful long weekend. On Friday, all of the teachers across the Lincoln Public School District met at the Hanscom School for a day filled with professional learning. It was a rewarding day and I expect our teachers will be excited to return tomorrow and employ some of the things that we learned on Friday.

On Thursday, I took the time during our morning announcements to do a presentation about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the importance of today’s holiday. I hope some of them shared a little about what they learned and maybe even a few made today a “day on, not a day off”.

I look forward to seeing everyone back at school tomorrow.

Warm Regards,
Mr. Ledebuhr
