Parents may call, stop by or make an appointment. I help plan school wide programs, present parent and staff workshops, assist with referrals to community and school agencies, and assist with test data interpretation. In educating students to be responsible and productive citizens who can effectively manage future challenges, Leesville Elementary School emphasizes character education through the We Pause to Build Character program. LES loves the pitter-patter of little paws. To track strong character, we use little paws to catch people being good.
Little paws commend students and staff when a character trait is observed around school.
Mr. Gainor or a student will read paws each morning on WLES-TV as part of the announcements. After paws are read and recorded, they will be returned to the teacher to give back to the students. Paws can be displayed in the classroom or given to students. A printed list of names will be posted in the hallways next to each large paw. Each Monday a school mascot will be given to the top classes to keep in their room for a week.
