Boy, I MISS YOU ALL, but I am so excited to be sitting with 9 of the most incredible and passionate educational leaders in Apple Distinguished Schools. It has been my absolute pleasure to brag about the AMAZING work you are doing with our Lee learners and how you are using your 1:1 iPads to design conditions for learning that deepen the learning experiences for our children. Please remember to use the #AppleDistinguishedSchools hashtag to tell your Lee story. Thank you for "holding down the fort" in my absence. I am tuning in the best I can virtually, but you are in great hands with Leigh Ann!

MICOCINA NIGHT
Please share with parents that we have MiCocina Night for all FamiLEEs on Monday Night. If they tell their server they are from Lee Elementary or show them this flyer proceeds come back to Lee Elementary. Thank you, Green House designers, for representing our staff.
FUN RUN UPDATE
Get ready for orange, blue, and excitement to start working its way through the building. This group does a great job of teaching citizenship and being present on campus. Monday's pep rally in the gym will get the kids excited and they will go home with their pledge packs. We will have a modified schedule so PLEASE communicate this to your parents (see 2019 Fun Run Pep Rally Schedule tab). We will have Team Time, and it is Day 3. Thanks Julie and Carla for letting the company set up early in your gym! Specials, you do not have to stay for the Pep Rally, so you get a full conference time.
FED EX
Enjoy your one hour, on Wednesday, where you learn about a topic of YOUR choice related to YOUR goals, and earn flex credit for it. This is a time for learning. Please complete this form at the conclusion of your learning session on Wednesday. The form will open at 4:30.
OPEN HOUSE
THANK YOU for the work that is already being put up for next week. We can't wait to walk the building before Open House to take it all in! If any windows or carpets need extra attention, please let custodial know NOW! You may wear your green RJL "This is Our Happy Place" shirt with jeans this night. Also, encourage parents to stop by the cafeteria to view/purchase their child's artwork. We hope they will tweet out what they like to #rjlyear5. Lastly, have a system in place for how you will manage the check in of technology before heading home at the conclusion of Open House. All devices must be back in the iPad carts before you leave.
SPIRIT RALLY
Friday morning we will recognize this 9 week's accomplishments. We will also recognize all DI participants. Please let parents know that we would love them to attend Friday's event!
LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:
- there are letters that must go home on FRIDAY to Kinders and First graders who are being assessed for the GTI program. The office will put these in your teacher mailboxes on Thursday. Please ensure they go home with the children.
- we have a tour coming through Lee on Friday morning? Please make sure you spaces are picked up. We know you will make sure they leave inspired by you!

SCHOOL SUPPLIES
It is important that we revisit our school supply lists for PTO for next year so that PTO can secure the best pricing from EPI. Please review, as a grade level, and make any adjustments. Once your adjustments are made, change the date on your tab to "Your Grade 2019-2020" so we know you are done. PLEASE do not increase items without taking other items off and also visit lists that are already completed to make sure you are not duplicating house supplies. The total should be as close to $50 as you can get it. Please have this done by March 29.

CISD FOCUSED WALKTHROUGH
We will give feedback on Domain 2 Dimension 1: Achieving Expectations. We will be looking for evidence that your learners have mastered content and are held to high levels of accountability for their learning. This looks like self-assessing, reflecting on menu work or assignments, posting to Schoology or SeeSaw, etc.
Courage- strength to act even when afraid or uncertain.
LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:
Make eye contact. When someone is speaking, keep your eyes on him or her at all times. If someone makes a comment, turn and face that person.
LEE QUOTE OF THE WEEK:
"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen." -Winston Churchill
