• Report Card Information


    We believe that an approach to learning and teaching anchored in clear standards provides every student with a strong curriculum and gives teachers the solid ground on which to design and carry out excellent and innovative teaching.

    Reporting on student learning should reveal how well students achieve relative to the standards at the foundation of instruction. Therefore, the Lincoln Public School district has developed report cards at all grade levels to show student learning in terms of grade level indicators that are connected to larger standards.

    The document resources and podcasts below offer parents more information about our approach to teaching and learning and about the report cards. For further information, please contact the office of the Assistant Superintendent at 781-259-9401.
