Stallions are EVERYWHERE this week!
Laurie McCauley spoke at the LCS Board of Education meeting on Tuesday evening about "Spread the Word to End the Word" and "Light it Up Blue"; national events which SanLee takes part to educate our students about students with disabilities. She reprented the Lee County Autism Council and SLMS well! Thank you so much to Laurie, Rena, Chelsea, Shane, and all of 8th grade for Spread the Word to End the Word movement this week! I'm excited about Light it up Blue next month!
Robin and Hannah Thomas also presented at the NCTIES conference in Raleigh this week on flipping the music and health classrooms. I heard great things about their presentation. Mrs. Neville has great resources on her webpage http://www.lee.k12.nc.us/Page/12872 including Hannah's blog about her experience this year flipping http://mshthomas.blogspot.com/. Great job ladies!
Danita Russell also presented with Kim Collazo from Greenwood at the AIG conference last week. She reported having "standing/sitting on the floor room only" at their session. People from across the state were excited to hear about all the wonderful resources we have in Lee County and utilize daily for our students.
Hurry up SPRING!

Benchmark Information
Taking Leave (TEACHERS)
Personal Leave
If you are going to be out for a personal reason (vacation/trip, buying/selling a home, etc., wedding) you will take a personal day. Please note the reason on the form or come by and speak with me about it. Personal days should be set up at least 7 days before you are planning to be out (as soon as you get approval from me). You need to fill out the Leave Request form, notify me of why you need to be out (either on the form or in person), put the form in my box, AND put the absence in SubFinder. I will not approve the leave until I have your paperwork and know why you are planning on being out. Remember that the substitute's pay is paid for out of your check.Professional Leave
Professional leave is used when going to conferences and training. You should do all the paperwork as soon as you know you are going. You must fill out a Leave Request form, Prior Approval form, and place this in SubFinder. This all should be done at least 2 weeks in advance! If this training is NOT a Lee County sponsored event, you must come and speak with me or email me and let me know the purpose of the conference/training, who is paying for the fees and substitute. If this is not a Lee County event, then school funds pay for a sub or you take a personal day and you pay the sub. I will ALWAYS do what I can to help you grow and learn, but please ask so I can see what funds are available.
Sick Leave
This leave is used for when you are sick, your children/family are sick, and medical appointments. If it is an appointment that cannot be made after school, please put this in SubFinder as soon as you know and fill out the Leave Request form. If you are out sick, you MUST fill out a Leave Request as soon as you return. These forms are located in Mrs. Capps office. She is also going to place a stack on both sides of the mailboxes to help you remember to do this.
Annual Leave
Teachers can only take this leave when students are not in school and if it is NOT a required workday.
*Please see Gaye or me if you have ANY questions!

UNBELIEVABLE NEWS! #marchgladness
Wednesdays they will be Duty Free Lunch Day!
Please escort your children to the cafeteria at your scheduled lunch time and then pick your class up at the scheduled time at the table.
We will not be responsible for students with silent/working lunch. Please ensure your class knows who is to go to working lunch. Do not send work to the cafteria or expect us to monitor anyone that has been assigned to silent lunch on Wednesdays. There will be approximately 6 adults monitoring the entire cafteria.
FYI: This was an idea that came from our Elective Dept! We have the best staff :) #marchgladness
