The weather may have gotten in the way of Grand Brunch planned for today, but we will pivot and provide an opportunity to support the library tomorrow, Saturday, March 12th from 8:00 am - 10:00 am. Please come out before you head on those spring break trips and grab the kiddos some new reading materials and a dozen donuts. Thank you for your flexibility and support!
Due to today only being a scheduled half day, Central Lee is canceling school on Friday, March 11, 2022 due to winter weather. Enjoy an early start to Spring Break!
On Friday, March 11, the Central Lee Community School District will join schools and other organizations around the world to celebrate International Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Day.
SEL is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions.
Central Lee is proud to provide social emotional learning resources to support student and staff mental health, build positive social interactions and promote equity and access for all! #SELDay #Proud2bCL

It’s National School Social Work Week!
The Central Lee Community School District would like to thank our school social workers – and school social workers across the nation – for their dedication to helping students achieve academic success and social-emotional balance!
Our school social workers help students deal with mental health and behavioral challenges and provide academic and classroom support. They also help in developing education policies, work with crisis interventions, and are the link between the home, school and community providing direct and indirect services to students, families and school personnel!
Thank you, school social workers! #Proud2bCL
