Conclusion There are many services on site and in

the immediate vicinity that assist Lincoln families and other community members. However, due to the shift in focus to academic accountability parental involvement has been pushed aside because of state testing.

Conclusion• In the future, we hope to bridge the

importance of community and state standards to best help our students.– Latino Family Literacy Project– Parent Club– Family Library– Parent Leadership
