Hello Lynbrook Families!
Things have been really coming together and ending on a fantastic note here at Lynbrook! We know there is a lot going on in the 4th quarter and we are wrapping up the end of another beautiful school year! Our 3rd,4th,5th and 6th grade students have completed their SOL’s! They did exceptionally well and we can’t wait for official score reports so we can celebrate their growth over the past year.
Our Chronic Absenteeism rate continues to get smaller. Thank you all for continuing to send students to school daily. We know that daily school attendance supports students' continued academic and socio-emotional growth! We also have many fun activities scheduled here these next 3 weeks and no one wants to miss out on that !
Additionally, you may have received the communication last week about my transition to Principal of Hybla Valley. I am so very grateful for being a member of the Lynbrook community. Thank you again for your support and trust in me the past 7 years. There is so much beauty, strength and courage within our Lynbrook community. I will always be cheering for the Leprechauns and please know that the possibilities are unlimited for ALL of our students!
Have a wonderful 3 day weekend. We look forward to seeing the kids on Tuesday!
With love and gratitude,
Kathleen Sain

Immunizations are required for all students entering 7th and 12th grades this fall. Visit the FCPS immunization webpage to learn about the required vaccines. Caregivers should ask their private healthcare provider or the health department to review their student's immunization record to ensure that their student has received these required immunizations.
It is important to schedule immunizations early in the summer, as seventh-grade students must submit documentation of the Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines before they begin school in August. Twelfth-grade students must submit documentation of the Meningococcal vaccine. Get more information on all student immunization requirements.

Es una época ocupada del año, y sabemos que las familias tienen muchas prioridades. A medida que nos acercamos al final del año escolar, es importante que las familias recuerden revisar la cuenta MySchoolBucks de sus estudiantes y pagar cualquier balance de comida escolar restante. Las familias que ganan menos del 185% del nivel de pobreza califican para comidas gratis o a precio reducido. Sin embargo, hay que cumplimentar y presentar una nueva solicitud cada año escolar para recibir ese beneficio.La solicitud para el año escolar 2024-25 estará disponible este verano. Si las familias tienen un balance actual y piensan que pueden ser elegibles para recibir comidas gratis o a precio reducido, por favor llenen la solicitud FRM para el año escolar 2022-23. Obtenga más información sobre el almuerzo gratuito y a precio reducido.
Later this month, you will begin receiving your child’s spring assessment results. If you aren’t sure what assessments your child took this year, view this list of tests by grade level on FCPS’ website.
How the results are delivered depends on the test. Scores will be posted in SIS ParentVUE, or sent by mail or from the school or testing organization. Learn what to expect regarding assessment reporting practices and timelines.
Visit FCPS’ website for additional information about student assessments, including what each assessment is testing for and how to interpret the test results. Caregivers should contact their children’s teacher with any testing questions.
Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test results, along with other student data, help demonstrate in which subjects or topics students may need additional academic support.
In order to help interpret SOL results for parents, the Virginia Department of Education has released new Standards of Learning Growth Parent Reports for families of students who took grade 3-8 SOL math and reading tests this spring.
The Growth Parent Report ties together scores from fall and winter Virginia Growth Assessments (VGA) with the student’s current spring SOL results to show their trend in academic progress this year.
Learn how to understand your student’s grade 3-8 SOL results and find resources to support their ongoing learning.

Los resultados de las pruebas de los Estándares de Aprendizaje de Virginia (SOL), junto con otros datos de los estudiantes, ayudan a demostrar en qué materias o temas los estudiantes pueden necesitar apoyo académico adicional

El Informe de Crecimiento para Padres combina los resultados de las Evaluaciones de Crecimiento de Virginia (VGA) de otoño e invierno con los resultados del SOL de la primavera para mostrar la tendencia en el progreso académico del estudiante este año.
