NEW FAMILIES
There are three steps that will need to be completed when enrolling your student to Leawood Elementary.
Complete a Jeffco Connect account
Complete the EnrollJeffco process.
If Leawood is your home school, bring your documentation in during the week of December 14-18th. Due to COVID restrictions, we will also accept these documents if scanned and emailed to us at Leah.Lefevre@jeffco.k12.co.us
If you have choice enrolled to Leawood, wait to see if you are made an offer before bringing in your documentation. Offers will be made at the end of January.
CURRENT Jeffco K-12 Students
The first step to this process is EnrollJeffco. All returning students will use EnrollJeffco for the upcoming school year to indicate where they will be attending school in August.
5th grade families need to complete this process as well to indicate which middle school you will be attending. If Leawood was NOT your home school, you will need to CHOICE enroll at Ken Caryl.
The next step to this process is Jeffco Connect. In July/August, you will still need to register your student(s) through Jeffco Connect, making sure your contact information is updated, pay fees, and sign off on agreements (Code of Conduct, Media Releases, and other OPT out agreements with your digital signature).
Current Openings in Half Day Preschool:
For any families interested in the Leawood Preschool Classes for 3 and 4 year old, we do have openings now in the Half Day Classes. The Morning Class with Ms. Noakes and Mrs. Rosenthal runs 8:30am -11:30am, the Afternoon Class runs 12:30pm - 3:30pm. If you have any questions about enrollment and registration you may contact our enrollment secretary Leah Lefevre. Enrollment packets are available in the office along with applications for the Colorado Preschool Program for anyone interested in applying for tuition assistance.
Now that we are switching to Remote Learning it is very important that you are still calling the attendance line, 303-982-7813, whenever your student will not be online. Emailing the teacher as well is fine, but they don’t always check it before Leah in the office pulls the line. Calls will be made to parents the next day, so if your student missed all day or part of the day, please make sure you call.
From the Financial Office
Please don't forget to go login to Jeffco Connect and verify that all of your student's fees have been paid. If you completed the application for Free & Reduced and your student’s fees have not been waived, please contact Food & Nutrition Services at 303-982-6748. Since the district changed to a School Based Budget, we have to pay all of our fees directly out of our school budget. It is very important that we collect the fees for the materials that your student/s received. While you are in Jeffco Connect, please verify your personal information and make sure we have updated phone numbers and email addresses. In addition, please be sure to add additional emergency contacts other than just parents listed just in case we are unable to reach a guardian. If you need assistance with fees, feel free to contact Mrs. Russell at 303-982-7860 ext. #5. If you would like to apply for Free & Reduced, here is the link to the application.
