From the Principal
It's hard to believe that we are in the month of November and the first nine weeks is complete! Just a reminder that there is No School for students on November 7 and 8. November 7 is designated as Parent Conference Day, and parents will have the option to view Family Life Education (FLE) materials used with 4th and 5th graders when they attend conferences. The materials will be in the library for parents to preview. Parents can also use this link to view the slides, as well as opt their student out of FLE if they choose to do so. 4th and 5th Grade FLE Curriculum All 4th and 5th grade students will automatically receive the instruction unless a parent completes the opt out form. The dates for FLE instruction will be November 11 and 15 for 5th grade, and November 11 and 16 for 4th grade, all during their PE specials time.
The county has also provided a great video for parents to watch that showcases and help explains the LETRS reading initiative we have been implementing with students since last school year. We encourage parents to watch the video prior to conferences. SoR Explanation Video for Parents
We are very excited that the PTO will be selling Linville-Edom Schools as created by Cat's Meow Village! These would make wonderful gifts for anyone who attended or worked at LEES! A pre-order form came home with all students today. Please see the attached form with more information.
Just a reminder that when students are absent from school or have any transportation changes, parents are asked to notify the school by either calling the office or emailing leesnotes@rockingham.k12.va.us. This ensures many staff members see the information instead of just one person. We don't want to miss any important information!
If families are interested in sponsoring a family in the community by purchasing gifts for the holiday, please use this link to complete the form or call our school counselor, Mrs. Kirkland. HERE
I hope you enjoy the pictures below from Monday, October 31, when students and staff dressed as their favorite book characters. We invite all staff and students to wear red, white, and blue on November 11, for Veterans Day!
Have a wonderful, long weekend!
Mrs. Ridder
