Thank you for the #HourOfCode activities you planned and shared with your learners this week. While at Apple these last two days, multiple people mentioned how they are inspired by what our educators are doing at Lee- YOU MATTER and inspire so many others! I can't wait to see the entire video of the Red House performance, the pictures and video online have me so excited. THANK YOU, Linda and Red House, for all of your hard work and extra time. Enjoy yourselves at the Holiday Open House, today! I can't wait to see pictures of our teams in GREEN and am keeping my fingers crossed with Hannah's creation on display.
Lastly, I want you to have the BEST final week of school for 2019. It has been so much fun to make your December one to REMEMBER and hope that you know how very much you mean to me! ENJOY an incredible two weeks off as you take time to be grateful for all around you and the happiness of the giving season. May you make memories with those you love. I will miss you during the break, and am excited to see everyone in the new year!
DID YOU KNOW:
We thank you all for the many "floor picnics" you will have this week. Great job communicating with the cafeteria what your lunch needs are on our special lunch days.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
We kindly ask for your flexibility with schedules this week. With multiple school events and programs, there can sometimes be a "hiccup." Please assume that we have best intentions when we run alternate schedules. We have tried our best to try and accommodate all. Thank you, Layne, for helping to design Wednesday's schedule. It is also on the second tab our our master schedule document. Other schedules will be updated on the flight home tonight. We are adding Days and Numbers to the Faculty Calendar starting Jan 5. If you see any errors, please let me know.
SPIRIT RALLY
Please invite parents to attend our event on Friday. We will start at 8:15. Red and Black Superstars will be recognized and Yearbook winners (Jessica will inform you) will be announced. We also have some festive games for you to join in- BE READY!

- we have GEMS being recognized at Monday night's Board Meeting? Congratulations to Megan, Jessica, and Layne for being Great Educators that Matter! Please come to the Board Room at 5:15 to cheer our FamiLEE members on! This is a big deal!
- that CISD will continue our wireless upgrade install next week? Please excuse the interruption when they are in your space. They assure us that it will take 10-15 minutes per space.
- that CISD Curriculum Department is monitoring both your iStation and Dreambox usage? When I ran reports in my Principal's Meeting, we have quite a few that are not using these resources with their learners. PLEASE MAKE SURE that learners who are on levels 3, 4, and 5 are using iSation 30 minutes per week. Learners on Level 1 and 2 should be using iStation 40 minutes per week.

STAFF HOLIDAY PARTY
We hope everyone can join us for some time together at Cane Rosso, after school, on Wednesday. This is NOT a school sponsored event, so you are free to have "tea." THANK YOU to Social Spurs for planning this fun event!
FROZEN MOVIE DATE
What FUN it will be to take our learners to the movie on Thursday. If you have a learner not attending, please let Chantel know so we can work out supervision for the child. This REALLY is NOT an option, but I will work with each individual case. We will plan on loading the buses at 10:30, so we will eat brunch at 10:00 ,as a school. Kids in grades K-2 need to sit 3 learners to a seat. Grades 3-5 will sit 2 learners to a seat. The movie start time is 11:15, and the movie should end between 1:00 and 1:15. We will load the buses as we plan to be back for our parties at 2:00. If we are back way too early for parties, you have permission to watch The Grinch with your house. (Thank you for remembering that ANY movies must be pre-approved by Chantel.) Please have learners packed up for the end of the day, before we leave for the movies. If you are a Specialist or Support Staff member, we are excited to have you join your house for the movie. Please get with your Leadership member to see if there are any learners in the house that they need extra help with. Those staff members with children, please feel free to help in your child's house (or let your child join your class) so you can enjoy the movie with them. Our Admin Team is happy to lend a hand, too, if you have friends who need to sit next to one of us.

EARLY RELEASE
Friday is a half day of school. The elementary school early release time is 12:15. Please communicate this to your parents. You may leave once the office is clear of ALL learners AND YOU HEAR THE ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE INTERCOM. We will need all hands on deck to make sure learners get home the proper way so EVERYONE can leave early.

REMINDER
Don't forget! Grades are due January 7th, the Tuesday after we return from winter break. Please go into e-school this week to make sure you are able to enter grades, have all of your learners, etc. so that if Leigh Ann needs to correct anything, it can be done before the holiday. Also, if you enter grades over the break, please remember that they must be back-dated to a date before December 210th, or they will not save.
