Week of April 17, 2023

WOW!  It is hard to believe we are almost halfway through the last nine weeks of the school year.  We have enjoyed our Summative meetings and having the chance to have dedicated time with each and every staff member.  We will have ALL of these done by the end of next week. We enjoy the opportunity to brag on you and celebrate the growth we have seen in ALL.  I'm feeling VERY #luckyatlee for each of you.  Enjoy the weekend!

DID YOU KNOW:

• we will be providing lunch on Wednesday?  You only get a lunch if you order one here by 10AM today:  Market Street Boxed Lunch orders
• we have recommended a 1st Grade Designer to HR?  We couldn't do this without the help of our Interview Team and will let you know when they are Board approved!  We are still looking for a few more candidates. 
• we need your help with quick turn around information for Summer Bridge? You received an email from Angel yesterday with a deadline of next Tuesday, the 18th.  Thank you for those who have already attacked this task. We appreciate you!

REMINDER:  SPRING CONFERENCES

You should be planning for your Spring Conferences and advertising in your weekly newsletters starting now.  Please give due diligence to make contact with all parents to review their learner's data and goal setting.  When at all possible, the learners should be involved in these conferences.  Keep documentation of parents who do/do not attend conferences.  During your time together, I would encourage you to listen for in case a parent would like to make a change in house for the 2023-2024 school year, wants specialized testing, or is considering retention.  Please write these requests down and EMAIL them to Chantel, Leigh Ann, and Angel.  This makes sure that we have a second layer of accountability as we transition to the next school year.  In addition, remind parents that we DO NOT take requests for house colors or designers and we do our best to have siblings in the same house, but cannot always guarantee it.  We do our very BEST to keep as many learners in their house when we loop up, but we sometimes have to move learners when balancing our building each year.  Parents WILL be notified by campus administration before Meet the Designer Night, if their learner is being moved. Please ask me if you have any questions!!!

ESL STRATEGY OF THE WEEK

Academic vocabulary is more important than ever this time of year. Utilize different methods of reviewing academic vocabulary such as games, thinking maps, or visuals. EB’s will more likely remember definitions when they are reviewed in multiple ways, and used authentically in conversation.

 

LEE LIFE PRINCIPLE:

Friendship- caring for; trusting one another

LESSON IN LEADERSHIP:

Do not save seats in the lunchroom.  If someone wants to sit down, let him or her.  Do not try to exclude anyone.  We are a family , and we must treat one another with respect and kindness.
