Excellence in Education...Every individual, Every day
A Message from our Principal
Hello Parents,
We have settled into our school year, and our classrooms are filled with the joy of learning. Our students completed the 1st 9 weeks. They are on the path of success as they begin to learn new concepts and discover the essential standards for their grade level through building strong school and classroom relationships.
Attendance The academic day for students begins at 7:45-2:45. Students are tardy at 7:50. If you arrive after 7:50, please walk your student to the front door.
Pick-Up The new car rider system has been very successful! We appreciate your patience and alertness when dropping off and picking up students. As always, student safety is our primary goal. Please remember when picking up your students, you must have your decal visible in your vehicle. We appreciate your cooperation!
Lunch At this time, due to a food shortage, we are not allowing parents to eat lunch with their students.

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.
