Preschool Enrollment (NEW)
Starting in the 2023-24 school, Jeffco families will be able to take advantage of 10 hours per week of free preschool provided by the new Universal Preschool Program (UPK) offered by the Colorado Department of Early Childhood (CDEC). Jeffco families can enroll in UPK for the 2023-24 school year starting in January 2023, when the application goes live.
NEW THIS YEAR: Jeffco families will no longer use EnrollJeffco to enroll their student(s) in preschool. Instead, families will use the state UPK enrollment application that will open in January. This change is for preschool enrollment only. More information is coming soon.
FULL DAY: Leawood will have limited space in our Full Day Preschool so be sure to apply early.

NEW FAMILIES
There are three steps that will need to be completed when enrolling your student to Leawood Elementary.
Complete the EnrollJeffco process.
If Leawood is your home school, upload your documentation in OLR(On Line Registration) 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 uploading 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 OLR (On Line Registration). You will still need to register your student(s) through OLR, 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).
Attendance
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. You can also leave your message in Spanish if needed. If no reason is given, your student will be marked unexcused. As much as we would love to, we cannot excuse an absence for family fun time, or birthdays.
