School Summary
· The "Other People Matter Mindset¿ is a visible part of what makes Lemon Road a great place to work, learn, play, and grow. Lemon Road Elementary School is nestled between McLean and Falls Church, Virginia, a neighborhood rich in historical importance dating back to the early days of the Colonies.
· When Lemon Road opened on January 6, 1956, it was a small walking school. While Lemon Road has grown in size, it maintains its small neighborhood charm. Building on traditions and high expectations, staff members are committed to implementing a student-centered curriculum to foster student achievement. We recognize the importance of relationships on learning, and intentionally employ strategies to extend the time students, teachers, and families are engaged in the learning process. We are committed to implementing Best Practices for teaching and learning and routinely review and alter our practices as we study their impact on student learning.
· Differentiation, guided by data-based decision making, has been a school focus as staff members strive to meet the instructional needs of a very diverse population. We set the bar high at Lemon Road and routinely tailor instruction so that all students can engage in a rigorous, challenging curriculum. To that end, our teachers participate in staff development and team collaboration efforts to bolster their repertoire of instructional techniques.
· We want our students to not only be participants, but also leaders in the 21st century. Since 2016, Lemon Road has been a Partner School with the Positivity Project, which is "dedicated to empower America's youth to build positive relationships and to understand, appreciate, and exemplify the character strengths in us all." The 24 universal character strengths are an intrinsic part of each us, existing across all cultures and all time periods throughout history. Making children aware that everyone has all 24 character strengths, provides the foundation for self-confidence and helps children better understand how to appreciate the differences in each of us. We believe that armed with a deeper understanding of the 'Other People Matter' mindset, we will create students who will enhance our school community.
