I hope you felt the LOVE from our PTO, Admin Team, and families this week. Happy Mother's Day to all of you. Whether you have children of your own, or not, you mother the children in our school. (Brian, Curtis, and Ed- we got you next month!!) Thank you for all you do for our children and the love you provide them each and every day they are at school. Please take care of yourself. This time of the year is stressful with deadlines and tasks. YOU'VE GOT THIS! Please ask for help if you need some.
DID YOU KNOW:

FIELD DAY
It's here! Have a blast WITH your kids and enjoy the day. This is one of those events that is a memory maker and they love when their teachers interact with them!!! Please follow the schedule provided by the coaches and ask if you see anyone without a volunteer badge. Lunch sandwiches will be provided by PTO.
YEARBOOKS
Designers, you can pick up your class yearbooks from the Art room on Friday. These can go home end of day Friday. We have ONLY SIX extras to sell and we will only sell those ONLY to fifth graders on a first come first served basis.
LIBRARY BOOK REMINDER
If your learners still have library books, they missed the deadline. Please help remind learners to bring their books back.

Learners will bring them home in a string backpack with a birth certificate. Here is the link to order one of the two packages online. Money earned will be used to help Kindergarten adopt animals at the Dallas Zoo. We have asked them to bring extra highland cows, just in case.

FARMER MARKET ON FRIDAY
Want some pesticide free food from our school garden for a farm to table experience? Our learners will harvest and sell their garden items during lunch on Friday. All funds raised go back to providing for our school garden.
EOY REPORT CARDS
Report card grades are due May 19. Learners that have withdrawn within the first two weeks of the 4th quarter will have their 3rd quarter report card used as the final report card of the 24-25 school year. Guidelines:
- Withdrawn and did not return to Lee - (March 24-April 4) - 3rd quarter report card will count as the final report card
- Enrolled by May 1st - should receive report card
- Enrolled after May 1st - discuss with Kat or Angel
Anyone who leaves can now be made visible on the grade entry screens. In Teacher Access Center, on any “report card” screen, you can click on the Show/Hide Withdrawn Students icon in the upper right:
The middle selection will display “Sort within active students” when you hover over it. Select that icon and anyone who has withdrawn will show up in red, italicized print on the student list. At that point, grades/comments can be entered. This should also work for standards-based Social Skills & Study Habits data entry as well as data entry for PK report cards.
Kathy Creek is monitoring learners that are returning from an extended leave, and she is reactivating their report card, but if you have any trouble then please email Kat so she can do some behind the scenes magic.
TO DO LIST IN ONE PLACE
- EOY Checklist- we are trusting you to execute what is expected to be completed on the lists. Please read them carefully and complete ALL tasks before school, after school, during your conference time, or during Team Time. Please do not work on this while you should be teaching. Learning should happen until the last day at Lee.
- Shared Curriculum List. Please save and mark up for us. We will have you share your house inventory on the last 1/2 day of school. Please make this a team effort and not left to your Leadership member.
- Furniture Inventory- remember extra furniture in your house may have taken a field trip to a neighboring house. Before you take extras to the flex space, check with your neighbors. It is wise to complete the furniture inventory on the LAST day of school.
- T-shirt update. We know that shirt sizes change during the year. So that we get you a shirt that fits the way you want it to, please fill out this form.
