Everyone is excited to start off this school year!
We had an exciting first week of school! We were so excited to connect, learn, and grow together as a school family! We would like to thank our teachers for their hard work and dedication this week. They have gone above and beyond to make our students feel welcome and supported. We would also like to thank our families for their support. Your partnership is essential to the success of our students. We are excited to see what the rest of the year holds for our school community. We know that it will be a year of learning, growth, and fun!

5th and 6th Graders! Join the Lees Corner Band!
Friday Aug 25th, your child saw an instrument demonstration assembly during school. Ask your child which band instrument they liked best that they’d like to learn this year. Sign up using the link above by Sept 1st. Band is a 60-minute class once a week during specials. Band classes will begin the week of September 11th.
Mrs. Hill will visit your child during their music classes next week to answer any questions and if they are new to band, assist in deciding which instrument would best suit them. Click the link to see the instruments you can choose from! More information will be shared next week. Band is a year-long commitment and will be a fun, rewarding experience for your student!

Many families will use Kiss and Ride for both arrival and dismissal and the line can get long. Please be patient and kind with one another and our staff on duty! It will take time for us to establish these routines and procedures with our students. Here are a few more helpful tips:
- morning drop-off starts at 8:35 a.m.
- plan on being in line early
- drivers should remain in the car
- school staff will be on duty to assist students in unloading and loading
- children should unload from the car on the passenger side only
- cars should remain in a single file line. Passing other cars is NOT allowed in order to ensure the safety of all students.
- afternoon pick-up starts at 3:35 p.m.
- for afternoon pick-up, please display your assigned number in the right corner of your front windshield. Make sure your child knows what your number is (ie. 352). We will use the numbers to call the students out to your car.
- Kiss and Ride ends before 4:00 p.m. Any students who have not been picked up by that time will be taken to the office. Parents will be contacted and must come to the office to sign their child out.
Families must submit an application and be approved to be eligible for free and reduced-price meals.
Interested families are encouraged to submit the Free and Reduced-Price Meal application linked here prior to the start of school on August 21st.
