	==History==
	Lincoln Prairie opened in September 1999. Lincoln Prairie was, and still is, the only school of its kind in the district. The design of Lincoln Prairie is the result of the School of Choice Task Force’s recommendations to create choice within District 54’s school system. Any family living within School District 54 is welcome to apply for enrollment at Lincoln Prairie.
	Lincoln Prairie is first and foremost a community school. Students work in multiage classrooms that are arranged according to the following configurations: kindergarten/first grade, second/third grade, fourth/fifth grade and sixth/seventh/eighth grade. Classrooms are arranged in cross-grade level neighborhoods giving students the opportunity to interact with students of varying ages. To create this community school, the task force identified four essential components:

	'''Individual Learners'''
	Students and teachers work to find out how each student is smart through a variety of activities focusing on learning styles and multiple intelligences. Our emphasis is on building relationships with students to increase our understanding of all aspects of the whole child.

	'''Best Instructional Practices'''
	District 54’s core curriculum is the foundation of Lincoln Prairie’s curriculum. Students engage in a variety of interactive projects and activities, which support both the Illinois Learning Standards and District 54’s goals and objectives. Instruction is thematically organized using authentic, integrated curriculum studies.
	An all-school yearly theme is emphasized to help students make meaningful connections. An emphasis is placed on balancing both the process and products of learning. Multiage classrooms allow students to be grouped and regrouped based on the students’ developmental readiness for a particular activity or unit.
	Students also receive Spanish instruction three times per week through our Foreign Language in the Elementary School Program. Our gifted resource, special services and extended day programs provide additional support to further meet the needs of our students.

	'''Collaboration and Diversity'''
	Lincoln Prairie is a diverse community of learners. Classrooms are arranged in neighborhoods to promote interaction among different age groups, as well as with peers of one’s own age group. Students can act as both learners and leaders depending on the situation. Collaborative relationships between students of different ages and a sense of community are fostered through many Lincoln Prairie programs. The following have been some of these offerings:
	Chorus
	Band & Orchestra
	Dance Club
	Cross Country
	Leadership Council
	Volleyball
	Battle of the Books
	Track and Field
	Debate Club
	Patrols
	Comedy Club
	Book Club

	'''Family and Community Centered'''
	A home-school partnership is encouraged through parent participation. Parents can be involved through a variety of activities, such as the following:
	Classroom curricular events
	Parent Education Workshops
	Classroom volunteering
	Project Development Time
	Back to School Picnic
	Annual “Big Event”
	Parent/Student/Teacher Conference attendance
	PTSA committees and activities

	'''Transportation'''
	A modified transportation option is available. Community bus stops are organized regionally to transport students to Lincoln Prairie. Parents are also encouraged to carpool.
