What time does school begin and end?
Student school hours are 7:40 - 2:20. Students may arrive beginning at 7:15. Students must be in their classrooms
by 7:40 to avoid being tardy.
Is my child too sick to attend school?
Your child should not come to school if he/she is too sick to be comfortable at school or if he/she might be contagious
to other students. As a rule of thumb, a child should stay home if there is:
Fever
of 100.4 or higher, vomiting more than once, diarrhea, very frequent
cough, persistent pain (ear, stomach,
etc.), a widespread rash, or red, runny eyes. Send in a written medical
note when your child returns to school. You do not have to call the
office to report absences. If your child is absent for more than one
day, a courtesy email or phone call to your child's
teacher and the front office would be appreciated.
What if my child's transportation changes?
Send a note with your child about the transportation change and have them give it to the front office as soon
as they arrive at school.
Can I check my child out of school before dismissal?
For safety reasons, students will only be dismissed from school at the front office before 2:00 pm. Please do
not go directly to classrooms to pick up children.
What happens when there is a weather-related emergency that could possibly close school?
In
the event that school must be closed due to inclement weather, the most
up-to-date information will be provided
on local radio and television stations as well as various media
internet sites. The Fulton County Schools website will also post
emergency school closings on the site. Please do not call the school.
I want to register my child for Seaborn Lee Elementary. How do I do this?

Forms. You can also download registration forms from the Fulton County website at

What is Seaborn’s school mascot?

How are birthdays handled at school?
Birthdays are not celebrated at school. Parents may send in or bring in
store-bought healthy snacks (i.e. fruit snacks), for birthday
treats during the class lunch period. These items are to be served in
the cafeteria only. Please be respectful of students who might have
potential food allergies-no peanuts. Treats should
be pre-cut, if applicable, and ready to serve. Please do not send in
flowers, balloon bouquets, goodie-bags, or gifts. Also, party
invitations should not be sent to school to go home with students.
Personal invitations must be mailed outside of school to avoid
any opportunity for hurt feelings.
How do I join the PTA at Seaborn Lee?
Ask the front office secretary for information on becoming a PTA member. Membership is $10.00. Please see the
PTA page of this website.
How can I stay informed about the happenings at Seaborn Lee?
The
monthly newsletter will keep you informed about important events and
current news. Also, each child receives
a folder that will come home every day. This folder will also contain
information about upcoming events and keep you informed about your
child's education.
Can I eat lunch with my child?
Yes,
you may have lunch with your child. When having meals with your child
in the cafeteria any time after the
first two weeks of school, please sign in at the front office and
obtain a visitor badge. You may meet the class in the atrium in front of
the cafeteria. Outside food or drinks (Chick-Fil-A, McDonalds, etc.) is
not permitted in the cafeteria.
My child needs to take medication at school. What do I do to make sure he/she gets the medication?
Complete a medical form which is located in the front office. All medication must be in the original container.
It will then be dispensed by the Clinic Assistant during the appropriate times.
Do you have uniforms at your school?
Seaborn Lee Elementary is implementing school uniforms for students. Bottoms: blue/khaki. Tops: white, gray or
blue collared shirts.
Can I volunteer?
We
appreciate our parents' support. Please ask your child's teacher about
coming in to volunteer. Teachers are
always excited to have weekly readers, helpers in the Media Center, and
chaperones for field trips. You may also contact Cassandra Lewis, our
parent liaison, at 404-669-8025.
I have a question about my child's education. Whom should I contact?

can be answered by our Curriculum Support Teacher, Timmeko Parks.
I would like to take a tour of Seaborn Lee. When can I do this?
