Welcome
We hope to see you all at Movie Night tonight - don't forget to stop by after school or before the movie to our pop up shop and pick up your tax free Lee merch!

PM Pick Up - Front of School
Movie Night on the Field (starting at 5 pm)
In case you missed it - AISD released revised plans for their consolidations and closures last Friday. As part of the revised plan, 6th grade would no longer be offered at any elementary campuses next year, including at Lee Elementary. You can find more information at the AISD website here and submit a comment card here prior to Nov. 12, or email your AISD Trustees. Comments received after Nov. 12 will not be included in final plans but will be included in transition planning. We encourage everyone to share their input. The AISD board is set to vote on this plan Nov. 20th.
