You are almost there! Two more weeks until Spring Break!!! Thank you for all you are doing to get your learning spaces set up for Open House. Don't forget to start tidying up the design studios and collabs too. It is a HUGE deal to have parents in the building and there is so much learning to showcase.
- March Madness is HERE? See Linda's email from Thursday if you would like to participate. Don't forget to vote daily. May the winner POP to the top!
- we would like to have your feedback on Kendall's pathway and digital manual? Could you please take time to review and participate?
- we have not had reminders for positive home communication lately? I would encourage an email or picture or phone call home, in the next couple of weeks, praising each of your learners. Don't forget to document it in Panorama. Apply for flex if you spend time after school on this task! I cannot stress enough how great you all are doing on our campus goal.
- beginning Thursday, February 26th, district learning coaches will visit campuses on Thursdays and Fridays to collect baseline data on technology use in the classroom? Coaches will conduct brief learning walks to observe whether technology is being used and, if so, how it supports learning. This is part of action steps for the district Technology Plan. Want to learn more...ask CK, she was on the district committee.
- we have had some paper problems in the copiers? Please remember to remove your color paper when you are done and... if you have a moment, see if you need to add paper for the next person.
THANK YOU SECOND GRADE
Thank you to second grade (and our extra staff members) for staying late, tonight, to host the 2nd Grade Star Party. It was truly OUT OF THIS WORLD! There was incredible attendance and the activities were super engaging and FUN! What lucky FamiLEEs to have designers who are so committed to our learners.
FABULOUS FRIDAYS IN FEBRUARY
Chantel is going to come by with the snack cart tomorrow so you can "treat yourself" to some yummies. WE LOVE YOU!

MARCH MADNESS AT LEE ELEMENTARY
Join in the March Madness! Stop by the lounge each day, starting Monday, and sample the daily pop tart flavor to vote on. We will see who is the winner at Lee Elementary in 13 days. Thank you, Social Spurs, for sponsoring the taste test and to Linda for designing the bracket and event!
SCHOOL PICTURE DAY
Wednesday is staff and class picture day. Please plan to be here by 7:05 for our staff photograph in the cafeteria at 7:10. Immediately after arrival, we will start calling your classes down for pictures according to our lunch schedule (feedback from last year's Leadership Team). Blue...that means hold off on watching morning broadcast until after your pictures, because your groups will start right at 7:45. It is imperative you drop what you are doing and hustle down to the cafe, so we can try to get learners through before their recess time. Please line your learners up from tallest to shortest before coming down and have their name badges clipped on their back to assist photographers. Don't forget to include your PA and AL learners in your class pictures. Lastly, remember that lunch is in your spaces, this day, as the photographers may need the entire cafeteria. We will make sure Genesis brings you trash cans.

FLEX LEARNING
Join Julie in Yellow open space for some flex learning on depth and complexity. This session will earn you flex and GT hours.
LEE COLOR RUN
FamiLEE! Only two weeks left before our Color Run, with all proceeds going to the PE Department, and one of our learners' favorite events of the year, FIELD DAY!! Visit rjlpto.org/colorrun for more details, to donate, and to register to run or throw color at your learner's race. Ask your learner about the awesome prizes their specific classes are working towards!
PTO will gift the top designer in each house $50 in classroom supplies (of their choice) from Amazon (PTO will order on your behalf).
SAVE THE DATE
We are excited to host Open House on Thursday, March 12. During this hour, you can also check out your classroom Color Run donation charts in the cafeteria. All proceeds from the Color Run go back to our PE program for Field Day, PE equipment, and recess equipment.
TESTING FEEDBACK
Now that we've completed our STAAR field test and TELPAS testing, please share your feedback with us so we can make any needed changes before testing in April. This is completely optional, but your thoughts would be much appreciated. Thank you so much! Testing Feedback Google Form
