One School, One Book Author Visit!

Author Visit

We were thrilled to close out this year’s One School, One Book with an AUTHOR VISIT! It was such a treat to welcome Chris Grabenstein to LCES on Wednesday afternoon. Our students were starstruck & had a blast listening to his motivation for becoming an author! Weekly trivia winners had the extra special opportunity to do a Meet and Greet with Chris where he signed their books and answered questions. What an amazing day for Lees Corner!

Parent Input Form

At Lees Corner ES, your child’s academic success is our top priority. To determine the appropriate educational environment for your child for the 2025-2026 school year, we invite you to share information regarding your child’s needs. 

Your input is appreciated. Every effort will be made to place your child in the type of learning environment that supports their needs. In addition, please do not request specific teachers.  We're unable to honor specific teacher requests.

This form (https://forms.gle/gAWpRvG3GHBuN8ks8)  is optional. If you choose to provide input, please submit one form per child no later than Monday, May 19, 2025.

What is Digital Citizenship?

Digital Citizenship can be described as the norms of appropriate, responsible behavior (and its positive and negative impact on self and others) with regard to technology use.

It's important for parents to help their child become safe, ethical, responsible and respectful digital citizens. To do that, you’ll use the same successful parenting strategies you’re already using. FCPS provides many resources to support family learning and conversations around digital citizenship. 

A few of these resources include.
