Wellness Center

Fall 2020 - Distance Learning 

The Lincoln Wellness Team misses you! We miss having you drop in to say hi, checking in at the pit stop while you hydrate with some tea and grab a snack, and seeing you shine in the classroom.

We are experiencing a global pandemic that has changed all of our worlds dramatically and caused tremendous loss and stress in our communities. People and communities are rising up and using their voices to bring to light the injustices that the Black community, Indigenous communities, and other communities of color have been experiencing for generations. 

You may be feeling overwhelmed and hurt, or maybe motivated and hungry for change. Whatever you are experiencing, we are here to empower and support you in caring for yourself, finding and using your voice, and feeling safe to grow both as individuals and community members in our changing world. 

For the most up to date information regarding SFUSD distance learning and available district resources visit the San Francisco Unified School District Recent Updates for Students and Families page.

For the most up to date information regarding COVID-19, ways to protect yourself, testing, and health directives, visit the San Francisco Department of Public Health COVID-19 Resources page.

 

Students need to be healthy in body, mind, and spirit in order to learn successfully. Just a reminder The Wellness Center is all about support for students to help them make the most of their education. The Wellness Program provides care that includes health, mental health, and substance abuse counseling; parent support and linkages; student success team support; and community referrals. 

To visit the Wellness Center, virtually please sign in to our google classrooms where you can reach out to any of the wellness staff to ask questions.  Drop-ins are welcome Monday after school and Thursday during lunch!

Wellness Center Seeks Donations

Dear Parents/Guardians,

We try our best in the Wellness Center to give the students something tangible to help them get through the day.  If you would like to donate to help our students, the Wellness Center is accepting donations of the following:

• water bottles
• nuts (all kinds), 
• granola bars/ breakfast bars
• herbal teas

to help meet the health needs of our students. We offer these items to students when they don’t feel well, have headaches and/or stomach aches and need that extra boost of energy.  If you have items you’d like to donate, please drop them off in Room 126 or leave them in the main office, clearly marked “Donation for Wellness.”

Thank you!
