Week of February 27, 2023

Hi team!  I will miss being on campus on Thursday and Friday.  I will not have access to technology while at Crucial Conversations training, but will check Teams/texts on my phone.  I wanted to share some thoughts I had from our Professional Learning day last Friday.  First, I want to thank you for your professionalism.  Thank you for representing our campus well and demonstrating the growth mindset you have.  I can bet you came away with new learning from the day, and that is because you constantly strive to give our Spurs the BEST learning experiences.  It is clear to me that Lee staff is well on their small group and formative assessment journey.  EVERY one of you should feel affirmed that you are doing excellent work on our campus and district goal.  THANK YOU!  You are appreciated!


DID YOU KNOW:
  • Super Teacher nominations are due March 3, and GEM nominations are due March 10?  Please nominate some dedicated peers by visiting   go.coppellisd.com/Recognitions.  
  • that only emergency copies should be made on the copier in the records room?  This machine should be used for your color copies.  It defaults to color and we get charged for every copy.  Thanks for your help to keep the color printing costs to a minimum.  

FABULOUS FRIDAY
You are "Nacho" ordinary staff so we hope you will stop by the lounge for some nachos on Friday.  Thank you to Leigh Ann and Angel for making the day special for you.




COLLEGE SHIRT DAY
Wednesday is College Shirt Day.  Show your school spirit by participating.



ECONOMICS FAIR
Third grade will host their annual Economic's Fair on Friday.  Thank you for supporting them!  They will share communication with your house to send in your newsletters.


HOUSE FIELD TRIPS
Please continue collecting funds for our upcoming House Field Trips. Please share this link with your parents and remind your families about this fee.  https://www.schoolpay.com/pay/for/Richard-J-Lee-Kidzania-Field-Trip/SUDEbi  Remember, if a learner pays you cash or check, you need to complete this form and turn funds into the office at the end of each day.




SAVE THE DATE!  LEE COLOR RUN COMING SOON
We are super excited to bring our Color Run back to Lee Elementary.  Instead of sourcing this to an outside company, we will be running this on campus which means 100% of the funds raised stay on campus. This school-wide event that helps fund our PE program and supplemental PE equipment.  It also helps support Field Day.  FamiLEEs can donate funds here, and the Color Run will take place on Thursday, March 9.   


Also, PTO will gift the top designer in each house $50 in classroom supplies (of their choice) from Amazon (PTO will order on their behalf). And PTO will provide Sonic drinks for the entire staff on March 11.

FLEX LEARNING
Stay tuned to emails from Samira and Alli regarding opportunities to learn more on Wednesday.
