Dear Lynbrook Families,
We hope you are staying warm and safe after the recent cold snaps and winter storm. We are thankful to be returning to a more normalized school schedule and look forward to welcoming students back for full days of learning.
Attendance
As I look across my calendar next week, we will be conducting several classrooms celebrating perfect attendance. This is something to be proud of. Being at school every day helps students stay connected to learning, build routines, and feel a strong sense of belonging. Please continue to send your children to school every day when they are healthy and able. Every day truly matters.
WIDA Testing Next Week
WIDA testing will take place next week for our multilingual learners. A TalkingPoints message has already been sent with specific testing dates. Please encourage your child to get plenty of rest, arrive to school on time, and do their very best. We are proud of their hard work and effort.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Together we are building strong habits, celebrating success, and helping every student grow.
