Week of May 6, 2024

Have an incredible weekend, sweet ladies and gentleman. I know you will be tired from Field Day, but OH WHAT MEMORIES ARE MADE DURING FIELD DAY. Enjoy this upcoming week of Teacher Appreciation. We LOVE and ADORE you beyond words and so does our PTO! You are such a talented and dedicated bunch and are cared for so very much!

 

DID YOU KNOW:
  • some of you still need to sign walkthrough forms or your summative documents? Please go in Perform PL and make sure you have done this.
  • we are having massive issues with trash around our school. Please encourage learners to pick up after themselves and leave our school better than they found it. I see problems in restrooms, classrooms, the playgrounds, and our cafeteria.

FIELD DAY



Please permit learners to eat breakfast in your learning spaces because the cafeteria will be set up and used for one of the zones.  Please make sure whatever movie you show your class/house is rated "G" and NOT DISNEY.  In addition, please make sure that ANY adult you see outside has a Raptor sticker on them.  All guests MUST wear a guest sticker.  If you see someone without a sticker, please ASK.  

Staff, you may wear appropriate shorts and hats on this day.  I know bike shorts are in...if you wear them...your shirt should be long enough to cover you up. Don't forget to wear/have your "schedule" to keep everyone on track.  Thank you coaches for these laminated ones in our mailboxes.  All kids should bring a change of clothes.

Please share this graphic below with your FamiLEEs one last time.

TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK
Each of you are loved and appreciated so very much.  Our fabulous PTO has planned an extra special week for you!  A treat from your Admin Team will be in your mailboxes on Monday, so check our mailboxes.  We will make daily announcements when breakfast, treats, lunch, etc are ready each day.


Please share with parents:  Teacher Appreciation Week is upon us!!  We will be celebrating our amazing Designers and Staff at Lee all week long May 6th-10th.  Check out the flyer below and the staff favorites list to get a jumpstart on ideas to spread the love!



MAY 9 SPIRIT FUNDRAISER
Our partners at On the Border are hosting a fundraiser for lunch and dinner on Thursday, May 9th, from 11am-9pm.  Just mention the RJL fundraiser at checkout if you are eating in person, or you can enter the code FUNDRAISER if ordering online.  It’s a great spot to eat before or after the Yellow House music performance, too!


KINDERGARTEN PROJECT OPEN FOR CAMPUS PARTICIPATION
Information about this new event and order forms were placed in your mailbox.  Please send home with your learners.  We will send reminder slips on Monday, May 13.  Money raised from this event will go towards Kindergarten adopting animals from the Dallas Zoo. 



PTO MEETING COMING UP ON MAY 14TH

Our last Virtual PTO meeting of the school year is coming up on Tuesday May 14th at 6pm. Please join us as we wrap up all the exciting things that happened thai school year and introduce you to your PTO Board for the 2024-2025 school year.

EOY ASSESSMENTS

Please ensure that all End of the Year Assessments are completed by Friday, May 17th. EOY assessments include both MAP and mClass. Please let Samira know if you need support.


FIFTH GRADE SAVE THE DATE



STORAGE ROOMS
It is that time where you need to start inventorying and organizing your storage closets.  Please make this a team effort and not left to your Leadership person.  HINT:  START NOW!!  Here is the Shared Curriculum List.  Please save to Noteability and mark up for us.  We will have you share your house inventory before the last day of school.


END OF YEAR UPDATES AND TASKS
Team time meetings will continue through May 5.  Since you will not be meeting the last cycle of Team Time, please use this time to inventory closets, get done with assessments, work on report card comments, pull staples out of walls ;) and all other end of year tasks.  Thank you to our wonderful Specials Team for continuing to take learners during this time.  

Here is the  EOY Checklist.  Please make a copy on your iPad and check off items when you complete them.  We will ask you to email your completed checklists on the last week of school.  The link is live for your Furniture Inventory and you may want to wait until the last week of school to complete that portion as a House.  Please do not work on EOY tasks during teaching time.  It is important to me that we "teach until the last day at Lee." You can use before school, conference time, after school and your Team Time to wrap up these tasks. Shared Curriculum List.
