Lee Family Bulletin - November 13

Is your child struggling in school and needing more support? Are you having a hard time getting the appropriate services in place? In collaboration with the Lee Elementary Parent Affinity Group, Youth, Rights & Justice (YRJ) Presents: Join Jawan Mullen, YRJ Education Attorney, as he hosts a training on what education law is, what rights schools, parents and students have, and how you can be a better advocate for your child.

Light dinner, childcare and interpretation to Spanish and Vietnamese will be available.

Please RSVP to claire.c@youthrightsjustice.org, if possible.

All are welcome and no one will be turned away! Please see flyers in English and Spanish linked below.

Meet us at 7:30 a.m. at Hancock Park this Thursday for a celebration of the courage and spirit of Ruby Bridges, the first Black child to enter an all-white school in the South in 1960. We are grateful to live in a time when all children can attend a public school, no matter their race, color or national origin. Come celebrate this pioneer of civil rights.

Please know that students aren't able to carry cough syrup and medicated cough drops on their own at school, per MESD policy. If the cough drops say 'drug facts' on the back they are considered a medication. Some cough drops will say 'nutrition facts' or 'supplement facts'- these are not considered medication and students can carry them. Please call our Student Health Assistant, Nurse Jen if you have any questions.

We shared with you last month of the district's move to paperless Report Cards as a way to reduce waste as well as cost in alignment with PPS’s Climate Justice policy. At Lee we have decided to print Fall report cards in order to give our community a chance to transition to ParentVue platform before the Winter report cards come out.

You will need to access ParentVue from the web or an app on your smartphone. Please find more details here: https://www.pps.net/parentvue.

Our school office can help you get a code for you to register.

If you already have access to ParentVue, please complete the survey below so we can reduce the number of report cards we print out this fall. Thank you so much for helping us with this effort. https://forms.gle/wKREuhtUsry5r8u17
