Tutorials
Tutorials are offered before & after school. Please check the REL Tutorial Schedule to see when your teacher is available. If your teacher is not available on a day you need to stay, see if another teacher who teaches the same subject is available and get the help you need. Teachers will be available inperson and through WebEx for our online students or face-to-face students who cannot stay after school. Check Google Classroom for the link to your teacher’s WebEx tutorials. The link to the tutoring schedule is also available at the top of the page.
Face Masks
Students must wear a mask once they enter the campus. Students who refuse to wear their masks will forfeit their opportunity to receive face to face instruction and will be sent home. Masks are included in the dress codes in the Student Handbook which is posted on the GCCISD website. Please remind
your student to have an extra masks or face coverings in their backpack. Face masks are required to be worn at all times except when eating. Students should have an extra mask with them in the event if one becomes dirty, wet or damaged. Thank you for your support!
Student At-Home Self
Check Click HERE to see a flowchart (English & Spanish versions) that can be used as a helpful tool to determine when to send your child to school and when to keep them home when they are not feeling well.
Student Parking
We are selling parking tags for students who drive to park on campus. They can be purchased in the 10th grade Office (Room 185). Students need their parking sticker to park in the parking lot. The cost of parking stickers has gone up. They are now $20.00. You need to show your license and a copy of your insurance with the vehicle you will be using.
As a reminder, students are not allowed to go to their vehicles during the school day and they cannot use their vehicle to leave campus during the school day unless they have early release. Violations will result in suspension or revocation of the parking permit.
Students Required to Wear IDs
For the safety of all students, high school students must wear their District-issued ID badges at all times while on campus in a visible manner. The lanyard with the ID should be hung around the student’s neck and visible from the front. Students were given their IDs on the first day of school and a lanyard. If a student did not get an ID the first week, they need to go to their grade level AP office to request one. If a student forgets their ID on a given day, they can purchase a temporary ID for $1.00 in their grade level AP office. If they lose their ID, they can purchase a new one for $5. Students can also choose to purchase their own lanyard or ID holder.
Deliveries to Campus
Visitors are not allowed on campus during the 2020-2021 school year unless you already have a scheduled meeting with an administrative office. Most teacher conferences should be conducted through WebEx. Deliveries, including food, for students are not allowed during the 2020-2021 school year. Students will not be allowed to pick up deliveries outside of the building. Students will not be called out of class and items will not be delivered to the student.
Stay Up-to-Date
There are many ways to stay up-to-date with what is happening at Lee HS. Gander News will be sent our weekly. Many Lee HS organizations maintain active Social Media accounts. Some are “official” accounts run by school staff, and others are supporters of our school organizations and teams. Please feel free to follow some or all for the most current information. Please click on the following links to like and follow our Facebook and Twitter pages.
Attendance
Being present for all your classes is important whether you are face-to face or online. Failure to be present face-to-face or virtually on any given day could result in a truancy violation, a failing grade or loss of credit, which could jeopardize meeting graduation requirements. If for whatever reason a student misses their face-to-face or WebEx meeting for their class, please check Google Classroom for any assignments they need to complete to get credit for attendance and grades.
Senior Info
Senior Portraits:
Senior Portraits for the yearbook and personal purchase will take place on October 30th. Information on how virtual seniors will take their senior portraits is forthcoming.
