Excellence in Education...Every individual, Every day
Welcome to Upson-Lee Elementary School
Upson-Lee Elementary School serves scholars in grades 3-5 in a grade center environment. A well-organized and dedicated teaching staff is supported by administrators and instructional coaches. Educators monitor all scholars to ensure that their learning is progressing on a daily, monthly, and yearly basis. Common planning times allow teachers to discuss strategies across subjects, compare best practices, and target problems quickly and effectively.
In addition to the core academic courses, scholars receive instruction in music, art, and physical education. Scholars may audition for the ULE chorus, which has been recognized at the regional and state levels. A Challenge program is available for accelerated learners.
In 2017, the school completed a 1:1 computing initiative, providing students with frequent, integral use of technology across the curriculum. Upson-Lee Elementary is accredited by AdvancEd (SACS/CASI) and is Accredited with Quality by the Georgia Accrediting Commission.

Grant Recipients
Congratulations to Mrs. Yodie Ellerbee and Mrs. Niki Dunn! Thanks to Southern Rivers Energy and their "Bright Ideas" grant, students in Mrs. Dunn's class will have the opportunity to use their mathematical skills to "Escape the Room"! Creating fun and engaging activities that allow students to practice problem-solving, teamwork, and math computations are made possible when we "lock up their learning"! The Southern Rivers Energy Bright Idea grant was written by Mrs. Ellerbee to purchase flexible seating options, engaging math activities, math manipulatives, and STEM resource kits for her classroom. All of these resources contain valuable hands-on opportunities for learning which will allow the students to learn through active experiences.
STEM Conference
Some of our STEM teachers presented at the 2019 STEM Conference in Athens, GA.
