This week our teachers and staff were showered with sweet treats in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week. A BIG thank you to our PTA, students, and parents for all the cards, kind words, flowers, goodies and gifts!
We wish a very happy Mother's Day to all of the moms, grandmas, aunts, and women in our community who give so much every day to take care of our children as they grow and learn! Your love, support, and dedication ensure our students grow up happy and healthy.
We need your help in projecting our total enrollment for next school year. For families NOT returning to Lees Corner ES in the fall of 2021-2022, please complete and return the “Student’s Intention for the Next School Year” form by Friday, May 21st.
A typed parent/guardian name on the Parent Signature line is acceptable. Student ID Number may be left blank. Save the completed form, attach it to an email and send to jwboddie@fcps.edu.
If you have questions, please call Jill Boddie at 703-227-3519.
Access the “Student’s Intention for the Next School Year” on the FCPS public website:

On Tuesday, June 8th, all students in FCPS will participate in virtual instruction. There will not be any in-person instruction.
This change to the calendar was made because June 8th is an election day and many schools are polling locations.

SOL testing has begun and will continue in May for students in grades 3, 4, 5, and 6.
Virtual students who will NOT take the SOLs have the option of taking a remote test (not an SOL) to measure their progress this year. Test tickets for the remote reading test have been emailed to students.
Virtual students will test on Mondays as listed below:
Monday, May 10th--3rd and 5th grade Reading
Monday, May 17th--5th and 6th grade Math
Monday, May 24th--3rd and 4th Math; 5th grade Science
Virtual students should arrive at school between 8:45--8:55 a.m. so testing may begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. Pickup time has been moved up to 11:00 AM because students are finishing the tests much quicker than expected. Please use the Kiss and Ride loop for both drop off and pick up. The front parking lot is used for buses.
Students will be offered a breakfast before testing begins. Students may bring a snack, and a water bottle is highly recommended. Water fountains are not being used for drinking at this time.
In-person students will test on a day when they are in school.
Attention! Curbside pickup will take place from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM on the following dates:
May 10th
May 17th
May 24th
PLEASE NOTE: ALL LIBRARY BOOKS ARE DUE May 28th!
Walk In My Shoes program activities are designed to create more welcoming school environments for all kids. Students will learn about challenges their peers face on a daily basis, develop empathy and compassion, and learn strategies to support their peers.
- Increase knowledge--by providing information about learning differences, developmental challenges, and medical issues;
- Build empathy--by providing opportunities to take the perspective of others;
- Build skill--by helping students identify strategies they can use to support a friend.
