As we prepare to celebrate Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to share a few highlights and updates from our school.
A huge thank you to everyone who attended our Music Showcase Today! It was incredible to see our 1st and 2nd graders shine on stage with their amazing performances. Their hard work and talent were truly inspiring, and we are so grateful for your support in celebrating their achievements!
We are thrilled to announce that Lynbrook Elementary is now in the Top 5 schools for attendance in region 6! This accomplishment is a testament to the dedication of our students and families in making school a priority. Let’s keep this momentum going - every day counts!
As we count our blessings this season, I want to give a special shoutout to our phenomenal teachers and staff. Their unwavering commitment, creativity, and passion for supporting our students never go unnoticed. Please join me in thanking them for all that they do to make Lynbrook such a wonderful place to learn and grow.
From all of us at Lynbrook Elementary, we wish you and your family a joyful and peaceful Thanksgiving holiday. We are so grateful for the partnership we share with each of you in creating a warm and welcoming school community.

FCPS is working with K12 Insight to host a community forum for families, staff members, and students to provide feedback on the school division’s cell phone policies and practices, and the Student Rights and Responsibilities (SR&R) document. FCPS is looking for more student participants (grades 3-12) to help ensure diverse perspectives from our community.
The community forum will be held on Tuesday, December 10, 6:30-8 p.m., at the Willow Oaks Administrative Center. If your student is interested in providing feedback, please visit the Cell Phone Policy Forum registration page to learn more. Families must register their child by Monday, November 25.

Esta guía estatal fue desarrollada para ayudar a quienes participan en la educación especial, incluyendo familias, maestros, administradores escolares, defensores y estudiantes.
One of the ways FCPS supports the mental wellness of all students is through the Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener. In October, students in grades 3-12 took this screener, which gives information about their skills such as achieving goals, handling emotions, building relationships with adults and peers, and making good choices.
The screener also helps students evaluate their school community’s efforts to make them feel valued, included, and supported. Screener data is used to create learning, experiences, and environments for students to succeed.
In early December, families will be able to view student SEL Screener results in SIS ParentVUE. For families who do not have an active ParentVUE account, results will be sent by mail.
Learn more about the screener on the Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener webpage. For help understanding your child’s results or ideas to support them at home, review the Family Guide or contact your child’s school.
Una de las maneras en que FCPS apoya el bienestar mental de todos los estudiantes es a través del Cuestionario de Aprendizaje Social y Emocional (SEL). En octubre, estudiantes de los grados 3º a 12º tomaron este cuestionario, que proporciona información acerca de sus habilidades como lograr metas, manejar emociones, construir relaciones con adultos y compañeros, y tomar buenas decisiones.
El cuestionario también ayuda a los estudiantes a evaluar los esfuerzos de su comunidad escolar para que se sientan valorados, incluidos y apoyados. Los datos del cuestionario se utilizan para crear aprendizaje, experiencias y entornos que permitan a los alumnos alcanzar el éxito.
A principios de diciembre, las familias podrán ver los resultados del Cuestionario SEL en SIS ParentVUE. Para las familias que no tienen una cuenta activa ParentVUE, los resultados serán enviados por correo.
Para más información sobre el examen por favor visite la página web del Cuestionario de Aprendizaje Social-Emocional (SEL). Si necesita ayuda para entender los resultados de su hijo o ideas para apoyarlo en casa, consulte la Guía para Familias o póngase en contacto con la escuela de su hijo.

Aprenda a activar su cuenta ParentVUE, para que pueda acceder fácilmente a los resultados de su hijo y a otra información útil.
