Hello Lynbrook Families,
We are so proud of our 3rd-6th grade students this week for demonstrating their literacy skills on the Reading SOL! Next week our 5th grade students will be showcasing their science savvy on the Science SOL Thursday!
We are so close to meeting our schoolwide SIIP Chronic Absenteeism goal . Please continue to have your child come to school consistently these last few weeks…every single day counts!
Looking forward to these next 4 and half weeks together as we successfully end another fabulous school year!
With love and gratitude,
Kathleen Sain
