Next PTSA meeting

STAFF HOLIDAY GIFTS

Show the AMAZING Leawood staff how  much you appreciate all of their hard work by contributing to a gift card fund! You can donate any amount to any staff member. This money will go to a gift card of their choice. A gift you KNOW they will love and use!  Also, the gift cards will be bought through Scrip, so Leawood gets a percentage back. It's a WIN-WIN-WIN!!!!

NEXT Virtual MEETING 

FEB. 9th, 2022

We'll have a data and budget update, as well as discussing the 2022-23 calendar, supply list, and school fees.

Any community and family members are welcome. We would love to hear from you!


Look for the Jeffco Family-School Partnership Survey which was emailed this week. Did you know that we review these results during Accountability Meetings, celebrating what we're doing well, and setting goals for the items which show up as a challenge. Two things Accountability has worked to improve on were a direct result of 2 questions we scored low on in this survey.


"I know the school's process for resolving complaints or problems"

As a result, we created this flow chart of how problems are resolved:

LEAWOOD PROBLEM SOLVING FLOW CHART


"The school keeps me informed of the legal rights of children and families"

As a result, we created this "Know Your Rights" information sheet:

Fundraising opportunities

SCRIP Program 

Support Leawood PTSA and earn rebates to apply towards your child's Jeffco Public School fees by participating in our Scrip Fundraising Program.  Purchase electronic gift cards through Scrip for your everyday purchases, or to give as gifts to friends, family, teachers, school staff and co-workers.  

As a reminder, there have been some great changes to the Scrip program that make it easier for you to earn rebates to apply towards any school fees (not just for Outdoor Lab)! The changes include: 

Throughout the year, Scrip runs special bonus and promo offers.  Ensure you are signed-up to received program updates directly from Scrip to stay on top of all bonus and promo opportunities!  You can update your account to receive email updates from Scrip.  

Scrip Physical Gift Cards now available for delivery directly to your home!  Scrip is offering a new ship to home option for physical gift card orders.  Just in time for the holidays, you can order physical gift cards and pay a small shipping fee to have them delivered right to your home.  Even better...the shipping fee is waived for orders placed through December 4th, 2020.  Place your orders through the RaiseRight app or check out details here.  

There are TWO WAYS that you can access your 'Scrip Rewards'.  If you want a reimbursement, the process will be to submit a check request form (available on Memberhub or in the financial office) for reimbursement to you directly. You will need to provide original receipts for the paid school fees. Return the form to the main office at Leawood.  We ask for a 2-3 week turnaround time to mail out the checks. More information can be found on Memberhub or email questions to leawoodloot@gmail.com.  OR, if you would prefer, you can work with Margarita Russell (Leawood Financial Secretary) to pay your fees directly.  Please email her at margarita.russell@jeffco.k12.co.us to make arrangements.  REMEMBER that your 'Script Rewards' can be used to pay ANY Jeffco Public School fee!  

KingSoopers Community Rewards

Another great way to earn rebates to apply towards your child's Jeffco Public School fees is by designating Leawood PTSA as the recipient of your King Soopers Community Rewards.  These rewards are loaded to your Scrip account and just like Scrip rewards, they are split 50/50 between Leawood PTSA and your rebate account.  It is easy to setup:

Other Easy Ways to Support Leawood

You Can Still Support Leawood by participating in the following programs . We are still collecting Box Tops and Milk Caps for Mooola. We have a collection bin in the front entryway of the school. We are also participating in the American Furniture Warehouse and Burgers for Better Schools Programs.
