Lee Families,
Lee School lost power due to high winds and downed power lines. CWLP responded to the outage and discovered that unfortunately power will not be restored today. Please be patient as we have lost access to our phone & internet at this time due to the outage.
Our buses will continue to run as usual and students are safely remaining in their classrooms for the remainder of the school day. We appreciate your cooperation as we navigate this situation.
However, parents, guardians or emergency contacts wishing to pick up your child(ren) early can do so now by coming to Lee School.
Only parents, guardians or emergency contacts on file will be allowed to pick up your child(ren) and you must provide the following:
Name of Child

Our buses will continue to run as usual and students are safely remaining in their classrooms for the remainder of the school day. We appreciate your cooperation as we navigate this situation.
Also due to the power outage, all SCOPE programs are canceled for tonight.

Springfield and Central Illinois African American History Museum collected our student's artwork and then had the pieces professionally framed and hung to create an exhibit at the museum.
All of the pieces of art were either created by an African American artist or they depict the African American experience.
We appreciate the AAHM & their commitment to showcasing our students' work in celebrating Black History.
You can visit the gallery February 18th - March 31st, Tuesday - Saturday 12:00 pm - 4:00 p.m.

District 186 families!
Any pre -k , kindergarten, 6th grade, 9th grade, 12th grade and new students to District 186 - please turn in your child's proof of physical and immunization information as soon as possible.
If your child’s physical and immunizations have not yet been turned in or scheduled, your child will be excluded from school on September 6, 2022.
Because of the demand for appointments and immunization in our community, the Board of Education is allowing school nurses to accept documentation of your child’s scheduled physical and immunizations so that they may remain in school. This documentation of an appointment must be brought to the school on Sept. 6 in order for a student to remain.
Appointments must be scheduled between now and October 14, 2022. After October 15 all students who do not have proper documentation of completed immunizations and physicals will be excluded from school.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s school.
Please turn in your physical and immunization forms ASAP! It is very important to make sure your student's records are up to date with your school. Students without their information turned in will be excluded from school starting September 6th.
Congratulations to our parents and families!!! Our attendance has been outstanding this week, thank you Lee Lion families!!!

A beautiful bench was dedicated and two trees were planted in Lincoln Park in honor of Chuck Flamini. Lanphier High School teacher, Scott Metzke, collected donations from current and former LHS staff to purchase the bench and trees. Yesterday ,friends and family gathered for the dedication at Lincoln Park. Chuck left his mark on our community as a friend, teacher, union activist, school administrator and school board member. You can visit the Flamini bench in Lincoln park right beside the playground area. "I picked this spot because it faces towards Lanphier High School" said Scott Metzke.
