Laptop Verification Form-May 2020


Reminder: Pictures Needed for 6th Grade Promotion Celebrations

The PTA plans on maintaining the LCES tradition of creating special posters and a slideshow for our 6th grade students.

To make this special for our kids, we need your help submitting pictures for each poster before May 10th.

Select FIVE (5) digital pictures of your child and post them online.

  • These pictures can be any pictures you like, showing your child throughout the years.
  • Please upload your pictures using the following online form.https://forms.gle/QJJv6anUXvjXdijm8

IF your child did not attend Lees Corner for the beginning of kindergarten, email a kindergarten photo to our committee ASAP!

  • Please include your child’s first and last name in the subject line of the email. The Kindergarten Photos should be emailed to: LCES.2020.photos@gmail.com
  • No action is required if your child has attended Lees Corner since the beginning of kindergarten. The school already has these photos, and the photos will be used for the posters and the slideshow. 
  • Part of the 6th grade celebration will be a slide show of all 6th graders. The slide show will include the official “school photos” from kindergarten and 6th grade. 

All responses are due by May 10, 2020.

Your responsiveness to send in the pictures is much appreciated to help make this event a fun and very special memory for our 6th grade class!

We are working with the school and the 6th grade teachers on a plan for some sort of celebration. Stay tuned for more information.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or comments!

Thank you,

Lees Corner 6th Grade Celebration Committee

Celebrate Virtual College Day And Show Your School Spirit!

This year Lees Corner is going to celebrate our annual College Day virtually!  On Thursday, May 14th, staff members will wear clothing from their alma mater.  Your child is invited to wear clothing from a college of his or her choice or their Lees Corner spirit wear.  The earlier a child knows and believes they can go to college, the more likely they will be to attend.  We look forward to continuing the college conversation with our students and families!  Thank you for your support!

We anticipate the printed report cards will be provided to the postal service by May 23. Actual delivery to homes will vary. School addresses will be used as the return address on the report cards.


Fourth Quarter Grades

No fourth quarter grades will be assigned to elementary students due to equity issues of access to technology and limited student ability to submit work during distance learning.
