Dear Lynbrook Families,
Our upper grade students are powering through their SOL tests! Our Math SOL test starts next week for 3-6th grade. Please also keep in mind that several of our students are also retaking their SOL tests and we need to remain focused!
We are excited to invite the Lynbrook community to our first ever Lynbrook BBQ! The Lynbrook BBQ will be on Monday, June 15th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM on the playground. We will be celebrating the last week of school and the 250th birthday of the United States! The principals will be grilling hotdogs and we will also have watermelon and popsicles. This is a FREE event for our teachers and families as it is sponsored by Fairfax 250.
The last fun event I would like to share is that field day is on Friday, June 5th. During this time our kids will enjoy a day filled with games and water activities. Let’s finish this school year strong together!
FCPS Caters to Food Allergies
May is Food Allergy Awareness Month. The FCPS Office of Food and Nutrition Services (FNS) works to ensure every student has access to safe and nutritious school meals. Since 1 in 13 children in the U.S. has a food allergy, FNS works closely with families to provide reasonable meal accommodations for students whose medical needs affect what they can eat at school.
To support students appropriately and safely, families are asked to submit medical documentation to FNS from a U.S. licensed health care provider so we can tailor meals to each child’s needs.
Learn more about the documentation required and the steps to develop a safe menu for students.
Required Immunizations for Rising 7th and Rising 12th GradersThe following immunizations are required for students entering 7th and 12th grade each school year.
All students entering 7th grade are required to receive one dose of each of the following immunizations prior to the beginning of school: Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis booster (Tdap), Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine.
- To meet the Tdap requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 7 or older.
- To meet the MenACWY requirement, the vaccination must be administered at age 10 or older.
- To meet the HPV requirement, the vaccination should be given between the ages of 11 to 12 or as early as 9 years old.
- As a parent/guardian, you may decide that your child will not receive the HPV vaccination. The school does not require documentation if a parent/guardian elects for their student not to receive the HPV vaccination.
All students entering 12th grade are to receive two doses of the Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) prior to the beginning of school. To meet the MenACWY 12th grade requirement, one dose must be administered at age 16 or older.
Parents/guardians are encouraged to plan ahead by scheduling an appointment with your child’s health care provider now to avoid the rush this summer. Please consider getting your child’s immunizations early so that they can attend school in the fall. Summer is a busy time for families and health care providers. As long as your child meets the age requirements listed above, they can be immunized at any time.
Immunization Events for FCPS StudentsFCPS, in partnership with Inspire Health Alliance, will provide school-required immunizations and optional flu shots for all FCPS students at no out-of-pocket cost. Multiple events will take place at designated FCPS locations.
Dates will be made available throughout the school year. Parents/guardians may view upcoming events and schedule an appointment for their student. Participation is voluntary. Additional immunization resources are also available.

Todos los estudiantes entrando al grado 7 están obligados a recibir una dosis de cada una de las siguientes vacuna, antes de comenzar la escuela: Refuerzo contra el tétanos, la difteria y la tos ferina (Tdap, por sus siglas en inglés), vacuna antimeningocócica (MenACWY, siglas en inglés) y vacuna contra el virus del papiloma humano (VPH, siglas en inglés).
- Para cumplir con el requisito de la Tdap, la vacuna debe ser administrada a los 7 años de edad o después.
- Para cumplir con el requisito de la MenACWY, la vacuna debe ser administrada a los 10 años de edad o después.
- Para cumplir con el requisito de la HPV, la vacuna debe ser administrada entre las edades de 11 y 12 años de edad, o tan temprano como a los 9 años.
- Como padre o tutor, usted podría decidir no poner a su niño la vacuna HPV. La escuela no exige documentación si un padre o tutor decide no poner la vacuna HPV a su estudiante.
Todos los estudiantes que entren al grado 12 deben recibir dos dosis de la vacuna antimeningocócica (MenACWY, siglas en inglés) antes de comenzar la escuela. Para cumplir este requisito del grado 12, una dosis debe ser administrada a la edad de 16 años o después.
Animamos a padres y tutores a planificar con tiempo y hacer ahora una cita con anticipación con el médico de su niño, para así evitar apuros durante el verano. Por favor, considere ponerle las vacunas a su niño anticipadamente de forma tal, que ellos puedan asistir a la escuela en otoño. El verano es un tiempo muy ocupado para familias y médicos. Siempre que su niño tenga la edad necesaria para cumplir con los requisitos que mencionamos antes, pueden ser vacunados en cualquier momento.
Eventos de Vacunación para Estudiantes de FCPSFCPS, en asociación con “Inspire Health Alliance”, ofrecerá las vacunas requeridas para la escuela y de forma opcional la vacuna contra el “flu”, a todos los estudiantes de FCPS, sin ningún costo. Se realizarán múltiples eventos en ubicaciones designadas de FCPS.
Las fechas serán notificadas a los largo del año escolar. Padres o tutores pueden mirar los próximos eventos y programar una cita para su estudiante. La participación es voluntaria. También hay disponibles recursos adicionales sobre vacunación.
