Week of June 17, 2020

I hope you are enjoying your summer! It has been neat to see what everyone is doing on Instagram and Twitter. It looks like we have some world travelers as well as local travelers enjoying their time off. Whether you vacation or staycation, my goal is to keep in touch a couple of times through the summer so you all stay "in the know."

FLEX HOURS
It appears you will need 18 hours of flex time for the 2019-2020 school year. Here are some summer virtual learning opportunities for you, if you want to earn flex time, over the summer when you have time.


#RJLYEAR6 SELFIE CHALLENGE 
You all are making progress on your boards this summer. Keep it up! It is FUN to see how creative some of you are to achieve a box. I LOVE that about you all- keep thinking outside the box if you need to. If you haven't joined in yet, please do! You don't want to miss out on our gift card drawing when we come back to school.

LEARNING ABOUT LEE 
Thank you, new hires, for creating a Twitter account and following our school. Also, thank you for reviewing our iBook. So that you are pacing yourself with all of the Lee information, I would like to suggest that you do the following, next: 

Bookmark and become familiar with navigating our LEE FACULTY WEBSITE
Read our LEE STAFF HANDBOOK

This has been a busy week of wrapping up 2018-2019 and getting our 2019-2020 events on the Lee website and faculty calendar. Next week, I will be in New York attending Teachers Writing College at Columbia University. I will participate in the Writing Institute and look forward to returning with new knowledge to share. The last week of June we will continue to screen applicants for our fifth grade and ESL Facilitator openings- we will find perfect fits for our famiLEE. Thank you to some of our staff members who have been up at school helping me with interviews and organizing / prepping for next year. Our campus is getting cleaner by the day. Red, Yellow, and Blue House have all been deep cleaned and it SHOWS! Green was being worked on today.  Soundbars have been added to each of your Vivatek boards, too. Thank you to those of you that participated in Curriculum Writing all week. Your hard work will benefit ALL CISD learners. I am enjoying seeing new relationships grow and others deepen with our houses and grades. Thank you for putting relationships FIRST and telling your CISD story!!  MISS YOU!
