While we may not be able to assist with all needs of everyone, we want to do what we can to provide support and/or resources to our students and families in need. We ask that our families fill out this needs assessment to let us know where the needs are and how we can support.

Weekly Update 9-1-25
Good evening, Hornet Families.
This is Mrs. Rogers calling with your announcements for the week.
First, thank you for a wonderful opening week of school. Our students and staff are settling in, and we are off to an amazing year of learning and growth.
We ask for your continued patience with the car rider line. Each day the line moves a little faster. For safety reasons, please do not park in the front of the building and walk to the back to pick up your child, or have your child exit as a walker to meet you in the front. These practices create congestion on Lincoln Street and pose safety concerns. In addition, students should not be picked up on the Bluford or Dudley campuses. Being on those campuses without permission could result in trespassing charges. If you have questions about bus transportation, please visit the GCS Transportation page at gcsnc.com or call 888-511-4427.
The Dance Team will hold tryouts on Wednesday, September 3, immediately after school. Interested students should sign up outside the dance room or band room. Please see Ms. Damman for more details.
Colorguard tryouts will also be on Wednesday, September 3. Students must sign up outside the band room and pick up an audition form from Mrs. Whitley in order to participate.
Finally, we wish all of our Hornet families a safe and enjoyable Labor Day. We look forward to seeing everyone back at school bright and early tomorrow morning.
This concludes our announcements for the week. As always, thank you for choosing The Academy at Lincoln—a great place to be.

The first day of school is here! Tomorrow we will open our doors to our students for the 2025-26 school year at 8:50AM. We are excited to see all of our Hornets, new and returning, as we keep climbing to success. I know this year we are going to accomplish great and amazing things.
Parents please be patient as the car rider line will be long as everyone gets used to the process. Elementary parents, you can pick up your car rider sign in the line in the morning and one will be sent home with your student as well. Attached to the email version of this message is a visual of the car rider line. If your student is a walker, please remind them to remain off of Dudley and Bluford campuses. Students are not permitted to loiter or be picked up in these locations. If students need to wait for a family member at Dudley, they should remain on our front porch until Dudley dismisses. Bus riders are reminded to be patient as well, as drivers and students adjust to the routes.
As a reminder all students receive free breakfast and lunch. We encourage students to take advantage of this opportunity.
7th grade families, please remember to send in a copy of the most recent immunization records that include doses of the TdAP and MCV. All records must be received by the 30th day of school.
