• A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL

  Dear Parents/Guardians:

  Students are most likely to succeed when they are supported socially and emotionally. At Abraham Lincoln High School, we have invested in building a strong support system for all students, and we are committed to educating students about mental health, seeking help, and supporting their peers. Our team of school social workers and mental health community partners provide short-term counseling, crisis intervention, and referral to community-based counseling services.

  This winter, we will take a proactive approach to meet our students’ social-emotional needs by facilitating a student mental wellness self-assessment. All students will complete a short questionnaire regarding their mental health.  School social workers will review completed questionnaires, and students who indicate a certain level of challenges will have a one-on-one meeting with a social worker, guidance counselor or Crew Leader.

  Our goals of this initiative are twofold. 

  • Identify students who may benefit from additional support and to offer these students preventive/early intervention.   
  • Educate students about social and emotional well-being and the school culture at Lincoln.

  Every student’s social and emotional needs are important to the school.  We want all students to get the support they need and deserve.  

  Student self-assessments will take place in social studies classes. If you have any questions, concerns, or wish to opt out

  please contact Assistant Principal, David Robinson at (718) 333-7462 or drobinson10@schools.nyc.go.:

  Sincerely yours,

  Ari A. Hoogenboom

  Principal
