Greetings Parents/Guardians,
It was another great week of teaching and learning at Seaborn Lee! Although this was a short week with the holiday weekend, progress reports were sent home Thursday, September 5th. Please check your child's folder or book bag for their report. If you have any questions please contact your child's teacher.
Have a fantastic weekend!
Dr. Brown, Assistant Principal
Parents-
It’s not too late to create your campus parent account in Infinite Campus. By doing so you will have direct access to information for all of your children including grades, attendance, and assignments. Please visit the Fulton County website and click on Campus Portal for more information.
Ms. Parks, Curriculum Support Teacher
Parents, students in grades K2 have completed their iRead Diagnostic to determine their learning pathway on independent literacy lessons. Being that iRead is a platform having phonological elements, headphones are a necessity. While students have access to a class set of headphones, it’s permissible for students to bring their own headset or earbuds to use.
All available data will assist us in determining response to intervention that is needed to provide remediation or enrichment in the areas of math and reading. Early intervention is beneficial for all students; when we personalize instruction being individual, pairs, and/or small group, student growth and performance is enhanced.
Ms. Parks, CST
Message from Mr. Smallwood
Greetings from the PBIS Team! It has been another PAWSitively awesome week of teaching and learning. This year House Teams will be added to our PBIS framework to further create a positive culture among our teachers and students. Here is a brief summary of what House Teams are:
- The house system is an idea adopted from Ron Clark Academy to give students the opportunity to connect with students across classes and grades that they may not normally have a chance to interact with. This helps students gain more friendships and create a family-like culture at our school.
We will have four teams, and students will be vertically paired with other students across the grade levels. Each team will have a college theme and color, and there will be opportunities throughout the year for each team to be celebrated. The official kickoffs will be held over the next few weeks. Have a great weekend Bulldog family.
Ms. Wilcher, Counselor
Greeting from the Counselor!
Respect is a word that we constantly encourage our students to exemplify. Please be respectful, respect the teacher, and respect your classmates, are just a few examples of ways that we ask our students to show respect. Parents, each day is an opportunity to model and build upon your child’s character. Explain that keeping your neighborhood clean is showing respect to their neighbors. Parents, model having a respectful discussion during disagreements between siblings and friends (ex. video games, cleaning their room, sharing). Please help encourage our students to be respectful while here in school.
Calling All Volunteers!
Thank you to all of our parents who attended the Title I Parent Resource Center Open House and Volunteer Orientation on Tuesday, August 20th. We appreciate your willingness to volunteer at the school and to assist when needed.
Please spread the word that volunteers are needed and encouraged at Seaborn Lee. If you have a neighbor who missed the orientation please have them reach out to the school, specifically,
please contact Ms. DaSilva, Parent Liaison, at dasilvak@fultonschools.org for more information.
Are you on Remind?
Morning and Afternoon Car Rider Line
Additionally, there have been parents leaving their cars unattended in the car rider line to come in the building. If you need to come into the building in the morning please park in the parking lot and not in the car rider zone. Please be mindful that students are entering and exiting cars thus safety is paramount!
Note: If your child is a car rider they will need a car rider number and you will need a car rider decal for your car. Every student and parent must have a decal and number that matches. If you need to pick up a decal or a number please stop by the front office.

Attendance Updates
At Seaborn Lee we are closely monitoring student absences and late arrivals to school (tardy). Please make sure that your child arrives to school by 7:40am daily. We have noticed a large amount of students who are car riders arriving to school late. If your child plans to get breakfast from the cafeteria, please drop them off in plenty of time to maneuver through the cafeteria lines and make it to class before 7:40am. The breakfast line closes at 7:35am. Our teachers are eager to begin instruction at 7:40am.
It is also critical that you send in a note the next day whenever your child is absent. Student attendance is a critical factor in academic success thus we are asking for your support and assistance with sending your child to school every day.
PTA Meeting
The first PTA Meeting of the year will be held on Tuesday, September 10, 2019 at 6:00pm. Please make plans to attend and be a part of the great things happening at Seaborn Lee!
