McLees Elementary School opened its doors as an elementary school in August 2003. McLees faculty and staff are devoted to providing quality education for each of its students in a safe, clean, nurturing environment. It is our goal to help each child in becoming a successful student and a well-rounded individual.
McLees Elementary met 100 percent of its objectives under the federal No Child Left Behind Adequate Yearly Progress requirements in 2003-2004. We received a report card rating of Good in 2004. We received an Honorable Mention Award from the South Carolina Governor's Council on Physical Fitness in April, 2005. We are also a Red Carpet and a Schools of Promise School.
Some of the specialized programs offered at McLees Elementary are Reading Recovery, computer-assisted instruction, Accelerated Reader, science assisted instruction, and balanced literacy. Support services include a school based mentoring program, mental health counseling, a comprehensive guidance program, an instructional specialist, a computer facilitator, a part time school psychologist, and a full-time nurse.
Our staff development programs provide teacher training in balanced literacy, Morning Meeting process, Rigor and Relevance, instructional software, and Science kits. This training equips teachers to accurately identify students' instructional needs, appropriately prescribe meaningful instructional activities, accurately assess student mastery and progress, and provide meaningful feedback to students and parents. Academic Assistance Plans are developed for students who experience difficulty in mastering grade level standards.
We are very excited about the future of our children at McLees. We invite all stakeholders to join us in improving the quality of our overall educational program. Your presence, participation and input are welcomed and appreciated.
