Hello, and welcome to first grade!  My name is Janie Lyman and I am looking forward to teaching first grade this year. This will be my 7th year at Round Hill.  I started my teaching career at LCPS in 2nd grade at Lincoln Elementary, then moved and continued teaching 2nd grade at Dominion Trail.  I taught kindergarten at Lowes Island. Then I stayed home with my 4 children for 7 years. I returned to the classroom when my youngest went to kindergarten.  I taught 4th grade then 1st grade for 6 years at a private school before returning to Loudoun County Public Schools and Round Hill Elementary. This year will be my 20th year teaching!  Time flies when you're having fun! I am looking forward to meeting each one of you and getting to know you during our year together.

I graduated from Shepherd College with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, PreK-8 certified.  I am currently working on my Masters in Teaching.

I was born in upstate New York, then grew up in Loudoun County. I live in Berryville, Va with my husband Kevin, my four children (Natalie; a graduate student at Columbia University; Maeve; a junior at Virginia Tech; Danny; a sophmore at James Madsion; and Luke; a senior at Clarke County High School.) and my two dogs Angus & Opal.

In my free time, I run (a lot), hike, read, cook and spend time with my family, friends and dogs. I also love watching my boys play football, basketball and baseball.
