District is the problem. Superintendent never responds. You can provide 6 different doctors letters with 4 different diagnosis (doctors with the highest possible credentials) and still receive no supports, accommodations, modifications....even after contacting all tiers of administration for help. Nothing. They can call themselves an A district but they lack necessary supports for childrennotinthe zoned areas funding is gifted. They do not represent the interest of all students. Their teachers lack necessary certifications and the teachers use the same lesson plan year by year....at districts request. Lots of finances for looking good in the public eye but thats about it.

I am the grandparent of a graduating 4th grade student at Lely and get to visit only a couple times a year. I know my granddaughter has really thrived at this school and I can see why when I get to visit her classrooms on her birthday and sometimes for a parent conference. The teachers have all been wonderful! They have so fostered her love of school and learning. She even got to perform in a school production. While in the third grade, she wrote a book! The staff goes beyond the typical school day to enhance students experiences. I think there is a great hint to the organization and caring of all staff when waiting in the student pick-up line at the end of the day! Such a fantastic system coordinated by so many for the safety of the students. It is like a perfect symphony of safety and caring for all. It is a dream to see how the staff is so protective of its students and how each student s safety and well-being matters to the staff. Oh, and p.s., I am a retired teacher of many years, so I really respect all that Lely has to offer the students and the caring that is exhibited from the administration to each and every staff member. Great job you Lely people!

This school is promoting confederate values. They knowingly promote and support the failed confederacy and they are intentionally teaching a false narrative of this nation in order to promote the hatred the confederacy stood for before its fall to the union. The teacher and supporting staff needs to be fired immediately. This is another stain on the blight of our nation’s past present and future.
