We had a good week focused on great instruction and activities. I enjoyed seeing everyone for an entire week. Continue to remind students of the expectation to be to school and all classes on time. We lost a full week of instruction, so we want to make sure students get all that is needed skills for them to be successful in their classes and show growth.

Please read the information below about the changes to bus pick up. The changes were made to continue student success and an efficient pick up process. This is in the weekly announcements section.

Have a wonderful weekend!

If you need to send in absence excuses, please email lee.attendance@hsv-k12.org.

Have a great weekend!!!

Sincerely,

Kitrise Torain

We need your help to continue to improve and reach our goal! Attendance is one of the most important factors that influences how students do in school, and we need each student with us at school every day!!!

*Attention Lee High School Bus Riders & Parents! Starting February 5th, students will no longer cross the bridge to get on their bus in the afternoon. All bus riders will stay in the cafeteria until their bus arrives and students will be dismissed to the side of the school closest to the Meridian St. entrance to get on their bus. Bus numbers will be called out as buses arrive so that students will know when to get on.

Congratulations to Ms. H-S and Ms. May! Here's what students had to say about them:

Ms. Hirschbuehler-Sampson

She cares about her students.

She is really easy to talk to and actually teaches us.

She helps us improve and develops positive relationships with each student in class.

She encourages us on the academic team and helps us learn the information.

Ms. May
