Energy usage at Lincoln School has decreased 5% from last year to this year! Thank you all for your efforts in this area! This is a great trend and we would like to encourage everyone to continue to do the following to keep us energy conscious and efficient:
- Please turn off all lights when leaving your room. Students can be helpful in serving as "light captains" who are responsible for the lights each time you leave the room.
- Please completely turn off computers and all electrical devises each day before you leave.
- Unplug all computers and electrical devises prior to longer breaks ~ Thanksgiving; Winter vacation; February vacation; long weekends; etc.
- Continue to alert the custodians; Kelly; and myself if there are heating/cooling issues in your classrooms or specialty areas/offices.
- Unplug appliances in the staff room when not in use.
- We could consider consolidating the items in any refrigerators and/or cleaning them out prior to long breaks, so that they may be unplugged.
- Please continue to foster ongoing recycling in your classrooms/specialty areas/offices.
- Please have students empty your recycling bins into the large receptacle at least once a week.
- See Lisa if you need a new Recycling Sign or Trash Sign that lists what goes into each. I have copies for anyone who needs them.
- We have marker recycling boxes on each floor - please encourage students to put dried up markers in a box.
