Week of December 11, 2023

Please have the BEST final week of school for 2023.  Remember that you CHOSE this profession for a reason and enjoy making holiday memories with your house and class.  It has been such a treat to celebrate each of you during December to Remember, and we hope that you know how very much you mean to the school community and ME!  Enjoy your well deserved two weeks off!


DID YOU KNOW:
  • December 8 is early release for kids only?  Staff is to finish up grades at the end of semester on December 8. You can leave campus at 3:00 on this day. Remember we will be treating you to "Santa"wiches around 12:30.

  • December 16 is early release for students AND staff? Once all learners are safely gone everyone may leave and enjoy the holiday break. Please wait for me to make an announcement and help the front office with left behind learners.

  • January 2 is a WORK DAY for all staff?  Individuals have permission to work REMOTELY on this day.  Buildings need to be open to parents so office staff needs to be at the school from 8:00-3:00. 

  • CISD expects you to set up your automatic replies before you leave for Winter Break?  Please make time to go in and pre-set this up before leaving on Friday. 
  • Holly would like your input for e-book requests here?

  • a bunch of our great team was highlighted in the CISD Connection newsletter?  In case you missed it...





DDECEMBER TO REMEMBER
This month is going to be full of so much FUN!  



Here are the spirit days if you want to share with your families.



PTO LUNCHEON
Please join us for lunch in the lounge on Wednesday.  Thank you to our wonderful PTO for providing lunch.


STAFF PARTY
We hope you can join us for the Staff Winter Party sponsored by our wonderful Social Spurs.  See you there!  PS- Don't forget your White Elephant gift.



HOLIDAY PARTIES
Please enjoy your parties on THURSDAY from 2:00-3:00.  Parents will be coming in to set up from 1:00-2:00 while we are in Spirit Rally in the gym.  Please have all learners packed up before the Spirit Rally so that you can help with clean up and dismiss after the party.  PTO should be bringing their own paper and supplies.  Parents should have signed up to volunteer through your Room Parent Sign up.  This is new this year!  The third tab on the Master Schedule shows the schedule for the day. Your Special's time is impacted, so check out the schedule.


EARLY RELEASE ON FRIDAY
Don't forget to swing by and pick up lunches during the time the cafeteria scheduled.  Lunches will be in spaces and consist of: chicken tenders w/roll, PB & J, mashed potato, gravy, mango wango, peach cup, milk.  Our campus will follow an Early Release Schedule this day (2nd tab).  We are permitted to leave when ALL of our learners are gone, so let's make sure parents are on time so EVERYONE can go.  Hourly employees may leave if you have comp time to cover leaving early.





DONATE DURING THE GIVING SEASON
Want to provide a special holiday gift to someone in need?  Lee Elementary will participate in the Lions Club of Coppell Food and Toy Drive.  The donation box will be placed at our front office entrance and learners can bring food and toys from now through December 15. Thank you for your kindness!



SAVE THE DATE
It’s of-fish-ial; we have a fin-tastc spirit night planned for Tuesday, 12/12 at Flying Fish in Cypress Waters, right by the school!  Join your Spur FamiLEE for dine in or take out, and remember to let them know you’re there to support RJ Lee Elementary!  You can even do delivery; just call the restaurant to let them know to apply the order to the RJ Lee fundraiser.  ‘Sea’ you there!
