I have taken Friday off to spend time with my husband. Kat and Angel will take great care of you. PLEASE take care of yourself this long weekend. STAY WARM, rest, and do things you love. Live out your ONE WORD!
- we need ALL staff members (including office and paraprofessionals) to attend staff meeting after school on January 31? Please make sure you move appointments, NOW, so that Samira does not have to have one-off trainings for STAAR and TELPAS security training.
- 5th Grade will be Field Testing in Reading on Wednesday, February 7? We will continue to give you information as we work through the details, but want you to be aware now. We have avoided field testing for 10 years- I guess this is a birthday "gift" to Lee from the state.
FARMERS MARKET TOMORROW
Please let your famiLEEs know that this is happening tomorrow- EEK! What a fun opportunity for our learners to have food they have grown fresh from our own garden. ENJOY! Thank you to Keiko, Priscilla, the growers, the harvesters, and the market workers.
PTO GRANTS OPEN
We are excited to announce that our PTO grant application cycle for this year is now officially open? If you are interested in applying for a PTO grant this year, please submit this form. PTO will be accepting applications through Sunday, January 21, 2024. They are looking forward to partnering with you!

MOY GOAL SETTING
If you are a paraprofessional, instructional aide, or office support staff, I would like to set up a middle of the year goal setting appointment with you. Please have Tara schedule you on my calendar for 15 minutes. This is time for us to check in and see how I can support you and your professional goals this year. For all others that are evaluated under TTESS, Angel, Kat, and I should have scheduled your formal TTESS Observation by now. If any of you under TTESS want a middle of the year check-in, please email your evaluator. We are happy to have one on one time with you.

RJL VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
The Scholastic Spring Book fair is coming to Lee Library in early February, and the volunteer sign up is live. Act fast to get a volunteer slot that works best for you! This is a great way to get involved and foster young readers! bit.ly/RJLSpringFair
Additionally, Mrs. Stout can always use volunteers to help during the afternoons with reshelving books, covering books, etc. You can sign up at the following link. Pro tip; bookmark this page as new slots are added throughout the year! bit.ly/RJLLibrary
Reminder, if you plan to volunteer for these or any other future events, complete your required CISD Background Check asap here. This must be completed once each school year, so if you’ve already completed for the 2023-24 school year, you won’t need to complete another one until August 2024.
