About Lyndale Elementary

Lyndale Community School is a Pre-K through 5th grade public school that exists to foster success for all learners by helping each child achieve measurable growth each academic year.  In our learning community, we meet students where they are academically and emotionally to work toward their continuous improvement in a warm, nurturing environment.  Lyndale staff are her to help our students become responsible members of our community.

Lyndale Community School provides a positive learning environment that fosters:

• Academic Excellence and Responsibility

• Integration of the Arts

• Collaboration with and Connection to Community

Lyndale Community School values the community and how we all work together.  Lyndale's Family-School Compact is a joint agreement between school staff, families, and students that outlines how each group will share the responsibility for supporting student academic achievement, student social emotional progress, and the means by which the school and family members will build and develop a partnership.
