Finishing Strong

Spring is here, and it's almost time to celebrate another fantastic school year! It's incredible how quickly time flies. We've got a fun-filled few months ahead, packed with learning, growth, and events that celebrate our wonderful Lees Corner students.

Helping Your Child Finish Strong:

  • Regular attendance is key! As we approach the end of the school year, it’s important for students to stay engaged, attend school, and finish strong! Visit our website for attendance resources
  • Stay informed! Thank you for regularly checking your child's backpack and reviewing school newsletters, weekly folders, and teacher communications. These resources are packed with important information about upcoming events, deadlines, and opportunities to get involved. We value your input, so please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or suggestions. We know you're busy, and we truly appreciate your time in staying connected with our school community.

Celebrating Success: As always, your support is invaluable. You are instrumental in your child's education, and your partnership with our dedicated teachers makes all the difference. Thank you! Let's make this final stretch the best one yet! We can't wait to celebrate everything our LCES students have accomplished this year.
