About Lyndale

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. 

The Lyndale community meets students where they are academically and emotionally to work toward continuous improvement in a warm and nurturing environment.

Lyndale Community School provides a positive learning environment that fosters academic excellence with dynamic engagement that celebrates diversity of mind and spirit. The Lyndale Community values our community and how we all work together.  Lyndale's Family-School Compact is a joint agreement between school staff, families, and students. It 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.

Kindergarten - 5th Grade 

Lyndale is a community school. This means that Lyndale students either live within our community school boundaries and receive transportation or live outside our boundaries and caregivers provide transportation.

Lyndale approaches everything with a student-centered, social-emotional well-being lens, with student voice always included and considered. This allows us to meet students, staff and caregivers where they are to provide our best opportunities for progress and success.
