As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please call me at (217) 732-3535 or email me at mworkman@lincoln27.net before this Friday and I would be happy to help out in any way.
We have developed a plan for how your student(s) can return all of their school materials (chromebook, charging cord, text & library books, etc.) to us.
