Week of September 23, 2024

Cheers to another fabulous week. What fun we have had with our attendance spirit days. Thank you to all of those who participated and for your encouragement for learners to be at school EVERYDAY.  We hope to see you at the Kindergarten Community Helper parade tomorrow afternoon.  



DID YOU KNOW:
  • we are going to host a MATCHING MONDAY at Lee?  To join in, are asking all staff to wear black and we will see if the kids notice.  Black joggers are okay with me with your black shirts.  
  • PTO is offering our school wide Spurs shirts at a discount for designers and staff?  You can order (without need to login) and get a shirt for $10. Short link is bit.ly/rjlstaff
  • you should be contacting subs before putting them in SmartFind? Please make sure you start with our preferred subs FIRST before leaving it open for anyone to pick up. 



DESIGN DAYS

AM sessions are in the large conference room from 8:00-11:00.  AM lunch with your grade will be from 11:00-11:30.  All subs will have lunch from 11:30-12:00.  PM sessions will have grade level lunch at 12:00 and design time from 12:30-3:30.  Please make sure that your agenda is prepared and in your grade level Team Time agenda ahead of time.  Suggestions for work on this day are: review MAP data, create strategy groups, review Discovery Ed Science, review StemScopes.



SAVE THE DATE FOR OUR FIRST SPIRIT NIGHT ON MONDAY AT LAMBERTI'S
Support our school in a delicious way by dining at Lamberti's on Monday, September 23rd, from 11 AM to 9:30 PM. Mention Richard J. Lee Spirit Night when you place your order.  PRO TIP: Check out their takeout family meals; they are a fantastic value! You can order by phone or online, AND they offer free delivery within a 10 mile radius!  Whether dining in, ordering takeout, or even purchasing gift cards, Lamberti's will donate 15% of all sales back to our PTO!



LEARNER- LED CONFERENCE DAY

Here are my expectations for Lee Learner Led Conferences from our Lee Staff Handbook.



CELEBRATE OUR INCREDIBLE TEAM

We have so much great teaching happening at Lee Elementary.  Please take time to nominate a peer for Super Teacher recognition by Sept. 25. Learn more about what makes a teacher a Super Teacher by browsing the "Looks Fors" at visiting www.coppellisd.com/page/super-teachers


ATTENDANCE MATTERS
Parents and guardians, please note: Texas law requires students to attend school each day that instruction is provided. According to Education Code Sec. 25.093, unexcused absences on 10 or more days (or part of days) is considered a Class C misdemeanor. Let's work together to ensure all students attend school regularly and comply with state attendance laws.
