Lyncrest School Scoop

Bright Star Behavior Assembly
We also introduced our character trait for February, KINDNESS! Students will be working as a class to earn K-I-N-D-O on a bingo board by conducting random acts of kindness. Teachers and students will be handing out kindness tokens when they see a random act. The tokens say “You made me smile. Pass it on!”

The night custodians are working hard to disinfect all tables, doorknobs, computer keyboards and other common areas every night. We are also encouraging frequent and proper handwashing by staff and students throughout the day.
Stay Healthy!
Lyncrest School Presents One School, One Book!
We've officially started our school book club called One School, One Book. Every family has received a copy of the same book – The Mouse and the Motorcycle written by Beverly Cleary and is asked to read it at home during the month of February. The book went home with the youngest child in the family. We are personally asking you to make the time so your family can participate in this special activity. Your family’s book has been numbered as we will be collecting the books at the end of the month. (Westmoreland School was kind enough to lend us these books. Please take care of these books so that they may be used again in the future).
Your child is not expected to read this book independently, as it may not coincide with his/her reading level. Parents should read the chapters aloud to their child(ren). Reading aloud at home is valuable because it better prepares your child to be an effective reader. It is also a fun, worthwhile family activity. With the One School, One Book program, we aim to build a community of readers at our school. Everyone – students, parents, teachers and administrative staff – will be participating and we can all reap the many benefits.
In school, your child will be invited to answer daily trivia questions to encourage and reward attentive listening. You will soon find that your child will take pride in knowing and anticipating the details of the story. Throughout the month of February, everyone will be talking about Ralph and his adventures on the motorcycle!
Lastly, I would like to personally thank the Lyncrest PTO for sponsoring this program and allowing this wonderful reading journey to take place. This unique opportunity would not have been possible without you! The PTO will be providing incentives along the way to keep our students engaged, and as a culminating activity, the PTO will generously host a private viewing of the movie at the Hawthorne movie theater on March 4th!
We look forward to talking about this great story with both you and your child during the month. “When a whole school reads a book, there is a lot to talk about.” With your help, we are truly building a community of readers at Lyncrest School.
Welcome, Mr. Osorio!
Welcome, Mrs. Lala!
5th Grade Committee Message about the Winter Dance!
There seems to be some confusion with Kids Inviting Someone Special. This does not mean kids inviting other children. This means kids can invite an adult of their choosing (ie: aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, neighbor, parent, etc). I apologize for any confusion. Thank you and hope to see you there.
Sincerely,
The 5th grade committee

FAIR LAWN PUBLIC SCHOOLS announce
Kindergarten Registration & Enrollment/ Orientation Process for 2018-2019
Dear Parents/Guardians:
We are excited to announce that Kindergarten registration for the 2018-2019 school year will begin January 8th. Kindergarten is an exciting and important year for students and their parents. We are anxious to meet your child and welcome him/her to school.
The registration process, which consists of two steps, is as follows:
Step 1: Registration/Residency Verification through the Community School
The initial step of the process requires you to go online to www.fairlawnschools.org/openreg and pre-register.
Please follow the directions @ www.fairlawnschools.org/registration to determine what additional forms and documents are required during registration.
Registration takes place at the Community School located at the corner of Burbank Street and Norma Avenue (behind Fair Lawn High School) and is by appointment only.
- Appointments are Monday-Thursday (8:45am-11:45am &
1:45pm-3:45pm) during your neighborhood school’s assigned week (see below).
- All students subject to the district’s “soft border” policy who register prior to

During the school orientation, the kindergarten teacher will work briefly with your child while you meet with the building principal.
If you have a neighbor who has an eligible Kindergarten-aged child, please pass this important information along to them.
