Principal's Message:

Dear Lynbrook Families,

As we approach the end of the first quarter, I want to take a moment to reflect on the power of family involvement in learning. When I was a child, my father painted homes for a living. He worked long hours from 4 AM until 7 PM, yet he always made time to ask me about what I was reading. After finishing a story or a book, he would ask questions like “What was the story about?” or “Who was your favorite character?” Those simple conversations had a lasting impact on me and helped build my love for reading.

That experience is one of the reasons why I believe so strongly in the importance of talking with your child about what they read. Taking just a few minutes to ask questions or discuss a story can strengthen literacy, deepen comprehension, and spark curiosity. Below are some ideas and questions you can use to support literacy at home:

What was the story about?
What happened in the beginning, middle, and end of the story?
What was the problem in the story, and how was it solved?
Who was the main character?
How did the main character feel throughout the story?

Parent Expectations

Your partnership at home continues to be a key part of your child’s success. Please make sure your child completes their homework each night and comes to school every day ready to learn. These small but consistent habits make a big difference in building strong academic routines.

Important Reminder

Monday is a holiday and there will be no school.

Thank you for all that you do to support your children and our Lynbrook community. Together we are creating strong learners, great readers, and confident thinkers.
