Dear Lynbrook Families,
We are looking forward to another great week of learning at Lynbrook and appreciate your continued partnership in supporting our students each day.
Lenny Day
Next Tuesday, March 17 is Lenny Day. We invite students to wear green to celebrate this fun Lynbrook tradition. We look forward to seeing our school full of green as we celebrate together.
Student Holiday
Please remember that there will be no school on Friday, March 20.
Dress Code Reminder
This is also a good time to remind families about our school dress expectations. Students should come to school dressed appropriately for a learning environment. Clothing such as crop tops, shirts that expose the midriff, and other items that are not appropriate for school should not be worn. If a student arrives wearing clothing that does not follow our dress expectations, families may be asked to bring a change of clothes. We appreciate your help in supporting this policy. Additionally, students are allowed to bring hooded sweatshirts to school. However, once students enter the building the hood must remain down during the school day.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Working together helps us create a safe and respectful learning environment for all students.
April Statewide Election: No School for Students
There will be no school for students on Tuesday, April 21, for the Virginia statewide election. Student activities, athletic practices, and events may proceed as scheduled.
Fairfax County Public Schools will still exceed the required number of instructional hours for students, as set by the Virginia Department of Education.
County Seeking Budget Input
About 70% of the FCPS budget comes from the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. They are currently reviewing the county’s 2027 Fiscal Year Advertised Budget and are considering possible adjustments before the final county budget is adopted in May. Provide the county with feedback on how you would like your tax dollars spent by completing this survey.
Phones Off, Learning On
FCPS’ cell phone policy helps students focus, learn, and engage. When students put their phones away, they have more face-to-face interactions with their peers and teachers and more opportunities to develop resilience and problem-solving skills. Please remind your child that:
-
Cell phones and personal devices (earbuds, headsets, other items connected to the internet) must be off and away for the entire school day (bell to bell).
-
Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited.
If you need to contact your child during the school day, please call our front office at 703-866-2940. Visit our cell phone policy webpage for more information and answers to frequently asked questions.
Family Engagement Survey to Open March 9
FCPS is administering our Family Engagement Survey, which will be open through Monday, March 23. Your feedback is critical in helping us to better recognize, understand, respect, and address family strengths and needs in our schools.
Survey topics include:
- Welcoming environment.
- Communication.
- Student success.
- Advocacy.
- Family and school partnerships.
- Community partnerships.
The survey will be available in English, Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Pashto, Spanish, Urdu, and Vietnamese.
Parents/caregivers will receive a survey link via email from FCPS on March 9. A survey link will also be posted on FCPS’ website. Paper surveys will be available at each school. Please stay tuned for more information.
