District Approved Excused Absences

• A student who is absent for an extended period due to physical, mental, or emotional disability.

• Excused absences include funerals, illness, injury, legal obligations, medical procedures and religious observations, and extenuating circumstances determined by the principal.

• A student who is attending a school sponsored activity 

• A student who is visiting a parent or guardian who is an active duty member of the uniformed services and has been called to duty, is on leave from, or immediately returning from deployment to a combat zone or combat support posting.

• Pre-Arranged Absences

Just a reminder: If your child is going to be late or absent, please call the attendance line at 303-982-7813. You will also need to give a reason as to why your student is going to be out or late. If no reason is given, your student will be marked unexcused. If you are picking a child up early, we will call them down after you arrive to sign them out. Unfortunately, we cannot call them down in advance. Thank you. 

Day Without Hate

Thursday, April 29th

Our student leaders of Jeffco High Schools will be moving forward with Day Without Hate (DWOH) this year.  A Day Without Hate is a student-led, grassroots organization that promotes nonviolence, respect, and unity within our schools. At Leawood, we promote these ideas throughout the school year through our Second Step curriculum and daily conversations with students. This year, we will plan additional activities for students that promote compassion for others as well as understanding and respecting differences that lead up to the Day Without Hate on Thursday, April 29th.  On April 29, students can choose to wear white or a Day Without Hate T-shirt. 

Friday, April 30th - NO SCHOOL for Students: Teacher Learning Day

Class Assignments for Next School Year

The next two months is the time when teachers begin thinking about next year’s class lists. A lot of time and thought goes into creating a balanced environment for all students. This process is very intentional, and we solicit information from many sources, including you. Current classroom teachers will collaborate with the principal, special education teacher, and AMP teachers to place students based on the educational needs of their students. 

The following criteria are used when making the final decisions for placement: 

·       Principal and/or teachers do not take parent requests for specific classroom teacher assignments. 

·       Each classroom will be balanced with student achievement, gender, leadership, and behaviors. 

·       Students who consistently demonstrate that they cannot get along socially will be separated. 

·       The number of students in each classroom will be as equal as possible. New students will be evenly distributed among classes as they enroll. 

If you believe your child has specific learning or social needs, parent input will be considered. Please email Mrs. Shehan at martha.shehan@jeffco.k12.co.us.

Although parent requests will be taken into consideration for student placement, it does not guarantee placement of the student into a particular class or teacher. Final class placement of a student will be made by the building principal.

Community and Qdoba Honor School Staff With Lunch

Showing Support Across Our District 

A community of parents laid the groundwork with Qdoba to recognize our amazing school staff for the work they have remained committed to throughout this past year. Qdoba graciously offered to provide free boxed lunches to all school staff for every one of our schools who signed up to participate! We thank Qdoba and our amazing community for this gesture!

This is a reminder that if your child has any signs of illness, please keep them home until all symptoms have resolved. Please call your student’s absence into the school's attendance line each day (including remote learners) with as many details as possible, including all possible COVID-19 symptoms: new or recent loss of taste or smell; cough; shortness of breath; fever; runny nose; congestion; sore throat; headaches; nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea.

If your student has been sent home from the medical safe room, please keep them home until all symptoms of illness have resolved.

If your child's symptoms do not resolve within 48 hours from the START OF SYMPTOMS, please have your child tested for COVID-19.

With the weather slowly changing we would like to remind everyone that the Health room does not provide any type of Chap Stick/Vaseline or lotion. Your student is allowed to keep Chap Stick in their backpack. 

Stay Healthy,

Mrs. Perry
