FROM THE PRINCIPAL
March 2020
Dear Leawood Families,
Welcome March! It is amazing to think that our second semester is well underway and that the cold of winter will soon disappear. Thank you to all the families who attended conferences in February. Your child’s education is truly a collaborative effort to ensure that they are growing as learners and social individuals. I have often thought that this is the busiest time of year. Classrooms in our building are full of thoughtfully planned, engaging and AUTHENTIC activities. Our staff is incredible! Those who choose to devote their lives to teaching children are unique individuals. They enter the teaching profession with the knowledge that they will be touching the heart and mind of a child forever. We are so lucky to have such a dedicated staff working with our children each day.
In April, our 3rd through 5th grade students will begin taking the CMAS state assessments. These assessments provide us with an additional measure of how our students are progressing toward state standards. We use this information as another way to ensure that we are meeting the needs of each student in our school. This data also allows us to make sure our classroom instruction is supporting our students. We appreciate your support in making sure that your child is at school on time during the testing.
Spring break is just around the corner, and the end of the school year will be here before we know it! Thank you for your continued support and partnership. As your principal, I continue to strive for a successful experience for your child. I welcome any questions, concerns or comments anytime. Please feel free to send me an email or contact me in the office at any time.
