Dear Lees Corner Community,
We are thrilled to welcome you back to another exciting school year! As we embark on another school year, we are excited to introduce our theme for the 2024-2025 school year: Building Excellence, Shaping the Future.
This theme captures our shared commitment to creating an exceptional learning environment where every student reaches their full potential.
As you know, our school is undergoing a significant renovation project to enhance our school facility. This website contains the plans for Lees Corner’s renovation and is updated when new information is available. While this project is an exciting step forward, we understand that it will require patience, flexibility, and adaptability from everyone involved. While we had planned to transition grades 4-6 to the Modular units to start the year, the transition has been delayed.
All students and staff will begin the school year inside the school building classrooms. This will require some adjustments for our staff, as many will be transitioning to modular units or other classroom spaces by November 2024. We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate this process.
We are committed to providing a seamless and enriching learning experience for all students, and look forward to a fantastic year filled with growth, learning, and achievement. Welcome back!
VaRonica Sloan, Principal
Jennifer Hutchinson, Assistant Principal

LCES PTA Meetings have been virtual since the Covid-19 Pandemic began. The community has returned to a sense of normalcy post pandemic and the PTA has seen an increase in families requesting in-person PTA meetings in an effort to strengthen a sense of community.
Conversely, many families have also expressed that they enjoy the ease of being able to attend meetings virtually with busy work schedules, activities, and bedtimes for younger children.
In order to get a clearer picture of what the community wants, we invite you to take a survey so that we can do what’s best for all.
Virtual Meetings would be held at 7pm.
In-Person + Interactive Streaming meetings would be held at 6pm and streamed on Zoom so that virtual attendees can still ask questions, add comments, and vote when necessary.
