Please call the attendance line if your student will be:
Absent
Late
Leaving Early
When a child is absent and we have not received a call from you, we will call you for confirmation. If we cannot reach parent/guardian, we will call anyone else listed as emergency contacts until we are sure your child is safe. If we still cannot contact you, we may decide to call authorities to conduct a welfare check. PLEASE call the attendance line and let us know when your student is out. We worry about our kids and need to know they are safe at all times.
If your student will be absent three days or more, a Pre Approved Absent form must be filled out and given to the students teacher prior to leaving.
Visitors to Leawood
Visitors to Leawood
We welcome volunteers to help in classrooms again this year. Please first check with your teacher as to what days and times they need you. All parents will complete a confidentiality form before working in the classroom.
Upon arrival, you will sign in at the front office and get a visitor's badge. If you are dropping your student off in the morning at the start of the day, you may wait with your child outside of their respective classroom doors. Due to our district security guidelines, you are not allowed to walk your child to their classrooms INSIDE at the start of the day . If you need to talk to your student's teacher, please schedule an appointment with him/her. In addition, when school dismisses at 3:45, your student will exit the school outside of the same classroom doors. We ask that you wait for your student to be dismissed.

Emergency Contact Numbers
Emergency Contact Numbers
In case of an emergency, we need each student to have three or more emergency contacts listed in Jeffco Connect.
In order to receive all communication from the school during the school year, and any districts news, we need to have the correct phone numbers and email addresses in Jeffco Connect. It is important not to block or unsubscribe messages that come from either the school or district or you will not receive communications about upcoming news, school events or important emergency information. Please make sure you have access to your Jeffco Connect account throughout the school year. If you ever need help with your account or password re-set, please call the office for assistance.
