ICE CREAM EVENT!
 Pictured above are just some of the many fun memories made from the Lees Corner "This Is Us" night on Friday, April 24th. We had a great turnout and hope to do this amazing event again next year!
 April was Month of the Military Child
Lees Corner celebrates the resilience of students from military families who often navigate unique challenges and experiences. Our school honors these students through Purple Up Day as well as through our Recognition Board created by our Kindness Ambassadors, to highlight and support our brave, adaptable young heroes!
At Lees Corner ES, your childâs success is our top priority. To determine the appropriate educational environment for your child for the 2026-2027 school year, we invite you to share information regarding your childâs needs.Â
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/DHebafoqNxYwaUpr6) is optional. If you choose to provide input, please submit one form per child no later than Monday, May 18, 2026.
