Hi Lee families,
Just after 1:40 p.m., a smoke alarm was triggered during a cooking lesson. School officials and staff safely evacuated all students from the building and followed our fire safety protocol. The administrative team and fire department confirmed there was no sign of a fire and students and staff returned inside the building. The school day continued as normal.
The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority and we value open communication with our families. As a reminder, we also have no school on Monday. Have a wonderful 3 day weekend!

Hello Lions!
Hello Lions! We want to thank you for ensuring your children are attending school each day they are able. Prior to this week, we had seen an average of 90% or higher daily student attendance for each of our first five weeks of school. This week we saw our first dip into the 80s. We know that fall colds are appearing, and we appreciate families keeping sick students home to stop the spread of germs! As we head into next week, let's work together to get those healthy students back in the classroom so we can push our attendance back above 90%. Every day counts toward your child's success!
And a quick reminder that Picture Day is this Tuesday, October 6th! We can't wait to see everyone's smiles!

Good afternoon Lions!
I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend enjoying this beautiful weather! It’s hard to believe we’ve already completed our first 14 days of school. Our Lions have done a fantastic job diving right into their daily routines! To help keep things running smoothly, here are a few quick reminders for the weeks ahead:
FACE Committee Meeting-Tomorrow!: We have another Family & Community Engagement meeting tomorrow morning at 8:00 and we would love for you to join us! Parents are able to attend in person or virtually. The QR code to attend virtually is attached.
Water Bottles in Classrooms: Please ensure students bring only water in their water bottles for classroom use. Drinks like juice are welcome at lunch, but keeping classroom drinks strictly to water helps prevent spills and keeps uninvited insect friends away!
Attendance Goal (90%+): Our goal is to maintain a daily attendance rate of 90% or higher. Thanks to your support, we’ve stayed above 90% every week so far. A huge thanks to our families for prioritizing daily attendance!
Car Rider Drop-off & Pick-up Flow: Attached to this message is a map showing our traffic flow. Lee hosts roughly 9–12 buses each morning and afternoon, so following the designated car path helps ensure safe and efficient drop-offs and pick-ups for everyone. Thank you for adjusting to this new routine!
