FROM THE PRINCIPAL

February 2020

Dear Leawood Families,

It is hard to believe that February is already here. The year is going by so quickly. It is so exciting to see the growth that our students have made so far this year! Join us for our next School Accountability meeting on Wednesday, February 5th beginning at 5:00 pm in the school library. We will be reviewing the results of our Family School Partnership Survey, and looking at our budget and staffing for next year. This meeting will be followed at 6:15 by a planning meeting for Leawood’s Saturday, April 18th Day of Service. We will be doing work  for our ‘Interior Uplift’ as well as some playground and garden upkeep and maintenance.  Please join us with your ideas!

This year, we have once again aligned our parent/teacher conferences with when our midterm progress reports are sent home next Friday, February 7th. Conferences will be held the following week, in the evenings of February 11th and 12th.  Some teachers are also offering morning times in the hopes of better meeting your scheduling needs. As always, if you have questions regarding your child’s academic progress or social/emotional needs, please contact your child’s teacher at any time.

Join us for our next PTSA sponsored Community Night at Red Robin on Thursday, February 13th from 4:00-8:00 pm. A percentage of sales will go back to Leawood to support our school. We thank you in advance for your support. 

Please remember there we will have no school on Friday, February 14th for a Teacher Learning Day. There is also no school on Monday, February 17th in honor of Presidents' Day 

In case you missed this on our Facebook Page, enjoy this sweet video of our 100 year old neighbor Laura Miller talking about the Leawood neighborhood “back in the day.” Thanks to the teachers and Brad and Kristi Meuller for their help with the questions and narration, and to Mrs Pepper for creating the video.
