We are grateful for your continued support and dedication to our school community. Your involvement helps our students succeed every day, and we couldn’t do it without you. Let’s keep working together to make this school year a great one!
Attendance Champions!
I’m thrilled to announce that Lynbrook Elementary won the attendance competition with Crestwood for the month of September! 🎉 Thank you to all our students and families for making this achievement possible. Your commitment to being present each day truly makes a difference.
Why Attendance Matters
Regular attendance is crucial for your child's success. Each day of school provides important learning opportunities, not only academically but also socially and emotionally. When students are present, they can fully engage in lessons, build relationships, and develop the skills they need to thrive. Let’s keep up this fantastic momentum as we continue through the school year!
Looking Ahead
We have our Fall Festival coming up on October 24th! This is always a fun event, and we’re excited to celebrate the season with you. Be on the lookout for a flier with more details soon!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Let’s keep those attendance numbers strong and enjoy another successful month together!

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. To help develop a common understanding of Bullying, below is the FCPS definition.
Bullying in Students Rights and Responsibilities is defined as: “Any aggressive and unwanted behavior that is intended to harm, intimidate, or humiliate the victim; involves a real or perceived power imbalance between the aggressor or aggressors and victim; and is repeated over time or causes severe emotional trauma. “Bullying” includes cyberbullying. “Bullying” does not include ordinary teasing, horseplay, argument, or peer conflict.”
For more information on how FCPS handles a bullying situation please visit the FCPS Bullying Prevention and Intervention webpage. Our goal is to ensure all students feel safe and welcome at school. If you have questions and/or concerns about something that is going on at school, please contact the front office so that they can support you and most importantly your student.

El "Bullying" incluye el ciberacoso. "Bullying" no incluye burlas ordinarias, payasadas, discusiones o conflictos entre compañeros".

Thursday, October 3, is a holiday for all FCPS staff. Schools and offices will be closed.
Friday, October 4, is a teacher workday and there will be no school for students.
