December Virtual Dining Out Fundraiser

Spirit Week
Fun Run
This year our campus will be hosting a FunRun to help raise funds for our Royal Teacher Fund. We have partnered with Boosterthon in order to help us meet our goal. We are hoping to raise $50,000 and are excited about this character-building, fun activity for our school community!

What is the Royal Teachers Fund?
Our No. 1 fundraising priority is the Royal Teachers Fund. Research shows that a quality teacher is the single-most significant factor in student success, far outweighing class size. Dr. Leman puts it simply: “To be a great school we need great teachers.” The Royal Teachers Fund will be used to recruit, develop and retain top teachers with salary supplements, awards and professional education.

Here is what you need to know about the FunRun:
 
Get ready! We have some fun incentives planned if we meet the following goals:
 
15,000- Silly string Ms. Jones and Mr. Lopez
25,000- Pie in the face highest pledging class's  teacher
50,000- Slime Mr. Lopez and Ms. Jones
 
*If 65% of our scholars register on mybooster.com Ms. Jones and Mr. Lopez will be serenading the scholars with some fantastic karaoke at lunchtime!



December 20th- Registration Opens
  • Register your child on mybooster.com - it takes less than a minute!
January 4th- Pledging Opens

January 11th - Event Kick-off Week
  • The scholars will watch a fun kick-off video explaining the program in their classrooms on January 11th. Then each day for the next week they will watch daily character trait videos from other scholar-athletes.

VETERAN'S DAY VIDEO
Winter Sports 

Attention Parents/ Guardians:

After our first successful girl’s volleyball season, it is now time for our winter sports!!! Scholars eligible to participate are from 5th through 8th grade. This winter we will have a boy’s basketball season from November until January, a girl’s basketball season from January through the end of February, and Boys/ Girls wrestling. Requirements to participate in any sport at Leman Academy is to have a current sports physical and our travel waiver read and signed by you and your scholar(s). All forms are available on our website under health forms. Scholars will not be able to try out until the physical is completed. 

Fees for sports: Each scholar has a fee of $100.00 for the season. The costs within these fees include but are not limited to covering coaches salaries, referees, uniforms, and tournament fees. Please arrange for these fees to be paid for before your scholar(s) first scheduled game. Schedules are currently being completed and once done, I will post and send the schedule home with the scholar athletes. 

We hope to see a great turn out for the upcoming seasons, your scholars will have a great time competing against our area schools and even some Leman campuses in Tucson! 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me about anything sports related at jarad.young@lemanacademy.org. 

Sincerely, 

Mr. Jarad Young; Athletic Director/P.E. teacher Leman Academy Sierra Vista


Physical Forms and Waiver Forms can be found HERE.
 
Assignment Books/Agendas for Grades 3-8


Agendas/Assignment books are required for all scholars in grades 3-8.  They can be purchased at the front office for $5 (cash or check only).  
TARDY REMINDERS

Tardy Reminders!!!

 

Teachers and scholars depend on the structure and routines of the day. Leman Academy  of Excellence policy emphasizes the importance of each scholar being in the classroom for the entire period, as well as arriving on time to school every day.

 In our school, instructional time is viewed as a precious resource. Consequently we view chronic tardiness as a serious problem.  When scholars are absent or tardy these routines are disrupted.  Scholars who are late or absent have trouble settling in and mastering routines.  Tardiness can upset their morning and even their entire day.  Scholars often find themselves trying “to catch up” from their absence, and teachers must stop the class to recount the expectations of the day to the scholar.  To minimize these disruptions to instructional time, scholars need to be present in their classrooms by the official start of their school day. 

 

If your scholar is tardy to school you are required to walk them into the office and sign them in.  Below are start times for each grade level.  First bell rings 5 minutes prior.

 

7:45 am 4th-8th grade 

8:00 am 2nd-3rd grade

8:15 am - Kinder - 1st grade

Excessive tardies will have letters sent home and/or a meeting will be requested with the Principal.

 

 

Thank you for understanding and cooperation.
 Early Pickups

                                                 Early Pick-up/Sign Out

When picking up a scholar early from school for a scheduled appointment parents must come in with a driver's license.  This is how we verify who you are and sign your scholar out.  Even if we know who you are we need your driver's license.

We are also asking parents not to sign your scholars out when there is less than 30 minutes before their release times. 

We are also asking parents not to call the office with change of after school pickups.......go to parent pick up instead of transition, etc. when there is less than 30 minutes before their release times.  We are not always able to relay such information on such short notice.   
After School Pickup
Each grade level has a designated pickup spot.  Please see below.
Kinder, 2nd, 4th, 7th, and 8th grades are picked up in front of the Front Office
1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th grades are picked up by the flagpole.

Release times are as follows:  (Please do not be early for pick up as it may slow down the traffic flow).
Kinder (1/2 day) - 12:15 pm
Kinder (full day) & 1st grade - 2:45 pm
2nd & 3rd grade - 2:30 pm
4th & 5th grade - 2:15 pm
6th, 7th, & 8th grade - 3:00 pm

Remember every Wednesday is an Early Release day and everyone except 1/2 day Kinder gets out an hour earlier.

If you have multiple children they will all get picked up at the latest release time.  For example, if you have a 1st grader and a 4th grader:  Your 4th grader will wait for their 1st grade sibling in "Transition" and both will get picked up at the Flagpole at 2:45.
Traffic Reminder
The main entrance to Leman Academy is on the West side of the campus, off of Marianne Dr.
When dropping off your scholars in the morning please be sure to do the entire loop through the drop off line and drop them off at the curb.  Do not drop them off half way through.
 

Traffic Reminder



When exiting the parking lot on Marianne Dr. please DO NOT make a left hand turn.  Right hand turns only! Turning left causes traffic flow to back up. 
Marianne Drive is the only entrance to Leman Academy.  The parking lot is one way only. Please follow the arrows.

.  Your help and cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Guest Teachers
The Sierra Vista campus is in need of Guest (substitute) teachers.To learn more or to apply please visit HERE.
Champions


Leman Academy of Excellence is partnering with Champions as a third-party service provider for ROYAL families on our campus.  Their website is https://www.discoverchampions.com/ and their phone number is 520-266-9036.
Snacks & Lunches
Snacks
There is a snack time for all scholars during the day.  Please send them with a snack daily. This includes half-day Kindergarten. Please separate snacks from lunches as sometimes this confuses the scholar and they will sometimes eat their lunch at snack time

Lunches

If you are not ordering lunches from dishes2U please remember to send a sack lunch daily.  


We do not have a microwave for scholar's use.  Please do not send any food that needs to be warmed up in a microwave.
ParentVUE


Leman Academy of Excellence is GOING GREEN!  We are pursuing more environmentally friendly practices.  To become more ecologically responsible, Leman Academy will not print Report Cards or Progress Reports.  When you enrolled your scholar you created a ParentVue Account which will allow you access to your scholar’s grades!  From there, you may print out a report card if you wish to have a hard copy. A final hard copy will be filed into their permanent Cumulative file at the end of the school year.

If you are having any trouble logging on to your ParentVUE account, please try these tips first.

1) use the exact URL address. 90% of the time, this has been the issue: https://az-lae.edupoint.com/login_pxp.aspx If you just try to Google it, you will end up on some other district's account and your key will show inactive.

2) Make sure that you are entering your username and password exactly.  They are case sensitive.

3) Finally, please remember to write down your username and password. Forgotten login credentials are the second biggest problem. If you try these tips, this will solve the problem 99% of the time. And remember, if you still need help, please email Liz Tuggle at etuggle@lemanacademy.org
