We’re Thankful for You!

A Thanksgiving Message from the Superintendent

As Thanksgiving approaches, we want to express our gratitude to the amazing community partners who enrich our students’ school experiences. From Elevate Math tutors supporting middle schoolers to Stanford’s Dr. Jo Boaler fostering a growth mindset in elementary math, and volunteers from Tzu Chi, Women’s League, and Foster Grandparents, your dedication fuels student success.

PTAs, Home-School Clubs, Boosters, and committees like the Innovation Council and Parent  Advisory Committees amplify these efforts, creating more opportunities and connections.

Thank you for helping us build a strong, supportive community. Wishing you a safe and happy Thanksgiving!

With busy mornings and afternoons, the roads around our school can become hectic. Let’s work together to ensure everyone stays safe! Please remember to drive slowly and watch for children crossing the street. Use designated drop-off and pick-up zones, and encourage kids to use crosswalks. We also ask parents and guardians to set a good example by practicing safe walking and biking habits. Together, we can create a safer environment for our children and foster positive relationships within our community. Let’s keep our roads safe and our neighborhoods thriving! Want to report unsafe driving or traffic violations on the city streets near school? Please report them to the City of San Jose at (408) 277-8900. Want to request a speed monitor from the City of San Jose? Please contact them at (408) 535-3850.  Please see link below to submit a Traffic Enforcement Request. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Traffic Enforcement Request ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Join our Lynhaven Team! ​ Yard/Noon Duty Assistant https://www.edjoin.org/Home/JobPosting/1881084 Enrichment Leader https://www.edjoin.org/Home/JobPosting/1956421 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ How to Become A Volunteer ​ Throughout the school year there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved.

Parents and families can volunteer at Lynhaven by reading specially selected books and leading activities that help teach valuable lessons. The Spanish-language Los Dichos program opens new doors for parents from diverse cultures to support their children’s school success as well as the healthy development of all young people in their communities.
