The staff at Central Lee is currently preparing and planning for
another successful school year. As the new geothermal air
conditioning system project moves into its final stages, the
janitorial staff begins putting the finishing touches on the
classrooms.
Soon rooms
will come alive with creative bulletin boards and teacher
chatter will fill the hallways.
Central Lee
teachers believe in what they do and care deeply about the
children with which they work. Here at Central Lee Elementary,
teachers use many different types of assessments from
standardized tests to formative daily assessments to develop and
implement the best educational plan for each individual
student. We strive for growth and proficiency for all. We
continually work together in our Professional Learning
Communities to analyze data, learn new teaching strategies,
perfect current teaching strategies, and plan effective
lessons.
Not only is
collaboration between teachers important, but collaboration with
parents is also a priority for us here at Central Lee. Being a
parent is the most difficult job we have, but also the most
important and rewarding one. As parents we are our child’s
first teacher. Modeling a love for learning and being involved
in your child’s education will have lasting impacts on your
child’s future success. Together, we the teachers and parents,
can provide a positive start for our youngsters as they head out
on the journey of life.
Central Lee Elementary maintains a rural school environment with
up to date technology in our classrooms and computer labs. The
veteran staff participates in regular professional development
and provides top-notch instruction from grades Pre K to fifth.
Class sizes are respectable and teacher resources are readily
available.
Children are our greatest assets and we are dedicated to
preparing them for the future.
