🎉 Lincoln celebrates its first PBIS party! 🎉
Our 3rd and 4th-grade students who exhibited positive behavior recently enjoyed two large Inflatable Fun obstacle courses, and students were able to have a snack and drink.
It was a beautiful day for being outdoors, and our students had a great time. Principal Smiley is so proud of their behavior during the first nine weeks of the school year.
Keep up the great work, Lincoln students!

Do you recognize a familiar face who’s still part of the Johnston City Schools family?

Lincoln Elementary had 126 students who missed one or less day in September, which is 81% of our students!
They were rewarded with a voucher for a complimentary burger from Moreland McDonald's, who we want to thank for supporting our school!

We're still thinking about this year's Homecoming week and all the fun we had celebrating our JC Tribe.
Our JCHS Head Football Coach, JCHS Football players, and JCHS cheerleaders stopped by for Breakfast with the Indians and spent time with our Lincoln Elementary students.
These high schoolers also greeted their former Lincoln teachers, it was a great time for everyone involved!

This morning, at approximately 7:25, a Johnston City School District bus was involved in a two-vehicle accident on Illinois Route 37. Within minutes, school staff arrived on the scene, including Superintendent Josh Pietrantoni and Transportation Director Becky Vancil.
Out of an abundance of caution, a number of students were transported to the hospital for evaluation of minor injuries, including a headache and a sore back.
In accordance with district emergency protocol, parents and guardians of students on the bus were notified immediately before a message was shared with the broader school community.
Multiple first responders assisted at the scene, including the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, the Williamson County Fire Department, and United EMS. The Sheriff’s Office conducted a preliminary investigation and determined that the district’s driver was not at fault.
We are deeply grateful to the responding agencies for their quick and professional support, and to our school staff for their prompt and caring actions.
At this time, no further information will be released.
