FROM THE PRINCIPAL

March 2022

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 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.

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.

Be sure to check out the "From the School" page of this newsletter (the links are at the bottom of each page) for lots of other important information regarding:

• • School Safety

  • Registration Updates

  • Watch DOGS and Super MOMS

  • News for the Clinic and the Financial Office

The month of March will fly by in a blink. Take some time to slow down, relax, and enjoy your kids. We are so fortunate to work with your children. They bring us joy and laughter every day!
