Hello Lee Academy Families:
Our mission at The Lee Academy School is to provide a challenging and supportive learning environment that empowers students to become critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and responsible citizens. We are committed to fostering a love of learning and a desire to make a positive impact on the world. In light of Black History Month, we will be hosting a book week between February 5th and the 9th. As well as hosting a BHM Bulletin Challenge.
Dear 3rd Grade Families
Now that your child is in Grade 3, it is time to begin thinking about your Grade 4 options for next year. As part of the Home-Based plan Boston Public Schools offers a guaranteed pathway for your student for the 2024-2025 School Year based on your current school and program. The pathway school for Lee Academy Students for next school year is: Young Achievers K-8
What does this mean for you?
❖ If you would like your child to attend your pathway school listed above, you do not need to do anything. You will automatically receive an assignment to this school for Grade 4.
❖ There may be availability at schools that are not designated as your pathway school. These schools may be higher performing or closer to your home than your pathway school. If you are interested in applying to a different school:
❖ Visit www.discoverbps.org to view your additional options.
❖ Visit your home-based options during our School Preview Times in December and January. See https://www.bostonpublicschools.org/registrationevents for details.
❖ Then fill out a School Choice Form either online or on paper during the Priority Registration Period. Priority Registration is open from January 4 – February 3rd, 2024, for students entering grades K0, K1, K2, 6th, 7th, and 9th and February 8 – April 7th for students entering all other grades.
If you have questions about registration and assignment, or need information about registration hours and locations, you can find helpful information located on our website at www.bostonpublicschools.org/register or you can contact a BPS Welcome Center.
Thank you for choosing the Boston Public Schools! We are excited to offer you the opportunity to have a more predictable path to a great Grade 4 experience.
Sincerely,
Welcome Services
Boston Public Schools
Students must meet state laws and BPS requirements for school attendance. Excellent attendance and school success go hand in hand. Students who are chronically absent—missing 10% (18 days) or more of school days for any given time period—are more likely to fall behind in their classes and have difficulty staying on track academically over the long term. In addition, students with consistent attendance are more likely to show proficiency on MCAS and classwork and assignments.
Excused Absences
Certain absences may be excused, meaning they will not be considered as it relates to a referral to truancy court by a Supervisor of Attendance under Massachusetts General Law (M.G.L. c.119). However, it is important to understand that all missed instructional time has the potential to negatively impact student outcomes. In addition, all absences are included as they relate to chronic absenteeism, regardless of whether the absence is excused or unexcused. For an absence to be excused, students must bring in a note after each day they are absent.
Excused absences may include:
