Back To School Nights

A Roaring Success!

Lees Corner Elementary School was thrilled to host two successful Back-to-School Nights on September 10th and September 12th. Parents and guardians had the opportunity to meet their child's teachers and learn about the curriculum.

We were delighted to see so many families in attendance, eager to partner with us in providing a positive and enriching learning experience for our students.

A special thank you to our dedicated staff for their hard work and dedication in making this event a memorable one. We look forward to a fantastic school year ahead, filled with growth, learning, and Lees Corner community spirit.

We're excited to see you again next week on Tuesday, September 17th, for our first PTA meeting. We will be meeting in the school library at 6:00pm. The PTA will send more information regarding streaming it live for families who cannot attend in person.
