Indigenous Peoples' Day honors the histories, cultures, and contributions of Native peoples, past and present.
It is celebrated on the second Monday of October in the United States, instead of Columbus Day. Click here to read the FCPS News Release about Indigenous Peoples' Day, which notes in part: “As a community that values diversity, equity, inclusion, and history, Fairfax County Public Schools should pivot from acknowledging Columbus Day, and instead celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day…The land on which this nation rests had been occupied by indigenous peoples for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans. "

Students and families are being encouraged to take part in weekly Walking Wednesdays during the 20-21 school year to help promote mental and physical health. Despite the virtual start to the school year, the Safe Routes to School office will be promoting Walking Wednesdays throughout the year, with a different theme each month.
October’s Walking Wednesday will take place on October 7, which is also Walk to School Day. Participants are encouraged to walk in their neighborhoods; families, schools, and neighborhoods can register their participation online for Walk to School Day.
Walking Wednesdays will provide a boost of energy for students and an opportunity for neighbors to greet each other and reconnect at a safe social distance along with physical benefits.
Walking Wednesdays are a county-wide initiative in partnership with the Fairfax County Park Authority’s Move Your Way and Healthy Strides campaigns. Inova Fairfax and the Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax also support the campaign. Click here to see the flier.
Registration is now open for virtual after school classes offered exclusively to Lees Corner students. We are bringing back our popular Chess Club as well as offering Kitchen STEAM, Art (includes your own kit delivered straight to your home) and a new, fun experience for those who enjoy the game Roblox!
Classes will begin the week of October 19th!
For more information, go to the PTA website or the school Facebook page. We are so excited to kick off our Fall after school virtual class semester!

Attendance is taken daily during Distance Learning. If your child is going to miss part of the school day due to appointments or trips, please let your child’s teacher and the school know so we are aware of which lessons your child will miss. Notifying us allows us to better meet your child’s needs and support ongoing learning.
You may notify us by emailing your child's teacher, calling the LCES attendance line at 703-227-3535 and leaving a message, or by emailing us at
LeesCornerES.Attendance@fcps.edu. Phone and email messages are checked daily.
