I hope this message finds you well and that you've had a restful and enjoyable summer break. The start of a new school year is always filled with excitement, anticipation, and a fresh sense of purpose, and I am thrilled to welcome each of you back to Lynbrook ES!
It was truly wonderful to see so many of you at our Open House today. The energy, smiles, and sense of community were inspiring, and it was a great reminder of the strong connections we share as we embark on this new school year together.
Next week, our hallways will once again be filled with the laughter, curiosity, and energy of our students. We have been working diligently to prepare for their return, ensuring that our classrooms are ready, our staff is prepared, and that everything is in place for a fantastic start to the year.
Our focus remains on creating an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to learn. Our dedicated teachers and staff are eager to connect with your children, guide them in their academic journey, and nurture their social and emotional growth.
We have an exciting year ahead, full of opportunities for learning, discovery, and community building. We are committed to fostering a strong partnership with our families, knowing that your involvement is key to your child's success. Whether it's through attending school events, volunteering, or staying engaged with your child's education at home, we appreciate all you do to support our school.
Please mark your calendars for our upcoming Back to School Night on September 19th at 5:30-6:30 PM, where you'll have the chance to once again meet our wonderful teachers, explore your child's classroom, and learn more about the year ahead.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children's education. Together, we will make this a remarkable year of growth and achievement for all our students.
We can't wait to see our students' smiling faces on the first day of school!

The Fairfax County School Board is responsible for running the public schools in Fairfax County. Twelve school board members are elected by county voters every four years.
A student representative serves on the board as a non-voting member. They are chosen by their peers each year.
The School Board makes general rules and sets guidelines to ensure Fairfax County Public Schools runs properly. They follow the laws of Virginia and the rules set by the Virginia Board of Education.
Learning about your local school board is important. Understanding their policies and initiatives can help you advocate for positive changes and ensure that the educational needs of all students are met. There are many ways to get involved.
Fairfax County Public Schools wants all parents and caregivers to understand its policies regarding surveys, records, curriculum, privacy, and related rights.
In its Annual Notice of Survey, Records, Curriculum, Privacy, and Related Rights and Opt-Out Forms (Annual Notice), FCPS provides explanations of the rights listed above as well as forms that may be used to exercise opt-out choices. Two versions of the Annual Notice are available: a grades K-8 version and a grades 9-12 version.
