From the Principal
It was great to have students back from winter break! We are getting back into a routine and having fun being with friends! We do have a request of parents. We are seeing an increase of toys, blankets, and other items from home that students are bringing to school with them on a daily basis. Unless it is a special activity or reward that the teacher has communicated with parents that it is okay to bring these items from home, we ask that they not come to school. Thank you for your help with this!
Just a reminder about the Panther P.A.C.K meeting on Monday, January 9, at 5:30 PM in the library for those who signed up to participate. If you are interested in volunteering throughout the school on Mondays and haven't signed up, please complete the Google form below. We look forward to the meeting on Monday and starting up this program!
Also, I hope students are reading at home to participate in the Duke Dog Reading Program! JMU has decided to extend the due date for the online bookmark students complete to earn tickets to attend a JMU basketball game. The new deadline is January 13. Here is the link to the online bookmark: Virtual Bookmark Link
The RCPS Spelling Bee will be held on Thursday, January 12, at 6:00 PM at EMS. We wish Alex Wastie the best of luck representing LEES!
Parent-teacher conferences in February will look at little different this year. Conferences will be held during the week of February 1-9, instead of one designated day. RCPS is trying a different schedule to see what teachers and families prefer. LEES staff has chosen to hold conferences on February 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9, from 3:15-4:00 PM each day. Teachers will be sending home a sign up form soon for those who would like a conference. We are happy to hold conferences in person, by phone, or virtually to accommodate parent schedules. Also, let your child's teacher know if you need a different date and time other than the ones listed on the form as we will try to schedule that with you.
I hope everyone has a terrific weekend!
Mrs. Ridder
