Elementary Done Different "LEE": First Week of Summer Break 2018

We hope you are ready to enjoy your first week of summer vacation. YOU MADE IT AND YOU KNOW YOU ARE GOING TO MISS US!!! Thank you for an incredible year and all of the fantastic memories as we spread Kindness Like Confetti!

STAFFING:
The last few weeks of the school year we have been interviewing candidates for our open positions. Thank you to our Admin Team and Jacque for their time and help. We have extended offers to three candidates (some may look very familiar) and are still looking for the perfect fit for Special Education. Please join us in welcoming:

Designer: Shelby Holbrook (682)444-6122
Designer: Diana Saylak (281)380-9091
Aide: Christina Giddings (512)924-5538

Please take time to reach out and welcome each of them to our famiLEE. As of today, we will also be looking for a new nurse as Shanelle will be working close to her new home in Prosper. Best wishes, Shanelle. Thank you to our long term subs: Karli, Megan, Colleen, and Lydia. We are so grateful for the outstanding job they have done closing out the school year for us. Each of them are forever welcome at Lee!!

HOUSE ASSIGNMENTS

You have been anxiously awaiting your assignments for #rjlyear5. THANK YOU for your patience! We will have 7 sections in each house. We can plan to have up to 22 learners in K and up to 24 learners 2nd-4th, and no limit in fifth grade. A HUGE thanks to our office who have enrolled all of these learners and EXTRA thanks to the district for keeping our aide positions in tack for the next school year.

Here are assignments for the 2018-2019 school year. Remember that they are always subject to change. An "*" designates our Leadership Team members in house/grade. A "__" indicates a new person in grade, house, or position. "-" means the position is unfilled. Much effort was made to create balance houses and grades. We appreciate having such a flexible staff. Please do not be upset with colleagues who have changed grades/houses for not telling you the "inside scoop." I asked them to respect the process and keep it to themselves until this blog came out. It is going to be a fabulous 5th year at Lee!

Would you like to have an accountability partner for getting fit during the summer? We would love to have you join in.

#RJLYEAR5 SELFIE CHALLENGE

Last year we had our second summer selfie challenge and we are back for a third round. Thanks to Ashley for making this year's board! It is a FUN way to see what you are doing this summer and to stay connected. We hope everyone will be interested in joining the FUN. Below is this year's board. Tweet it out to your followers and encourage your learners and their famiLEEs to join in, too. Please use the hashtags #rjlyear5 and #rjlsummerselfie

We will coordinate an outing this summer that can help you fill in a square or two. Stay tuned and join in the FUN!

We thank you for the outstanding job you all did with ALL of your end of year tasks. THANK YOU for being thorough with your furniture and supply inventories. We will work to get your spaces painted and repaired so you come in to a sparkling space in August. Please enjoy your summer break. Relax. Make memories. Learn something new. We will miss you. Please know I am feeling blessed to have served as your Principal this year and can't wait to see what #rjlyear5 brings us.
