STAFF APPRECIATION WEEK

MAY 2-6

We are lifting our staff up this week with a fun theme of UP!!!!

Remember to thank your teachers and staff this week for the AMAZING job they do!!

Accountability

Accountability has been hard at work this year! We have finished the School Based Budget Plan for next year and are excited for the upcoming school year. We have also been hard at work analyzing the district surveys that students, parents and teachers take each year. Did you know that you can easily see the results of these surveys? Just go to this link: School Insights, and make sure to choose Leawood from the dropdown menu. Check out the results from the last 3 years!! We are so proud of these results and will continue to improve the scores each year.

A few things that we have done based on these results is a new way to conduct conferences, updating communication preferences and limiting the amount of communications, sending out flyers informing parents of their students rights, and sending out flyers showing parents what to do if they have questions or concerns about their student.

Next year, we will be changing the name of Accountability to P.I.E (Partners in Education). We will be having in-person and google meet meetings once a month on the 4th Wednesday from 6-7pm. These meetings are a great way to stay informed about your child's school and hearing about all the improvements the school is working on. We are looking for a secretary for next year, if you are interested please email Brianna Gillmore at briannagillmore25@gmail.com or Eddie "Mac" McManus at eemcmanus3@gmail.com

Wall of Pride

The Wall of Pride is Leawood’s way of acknowledging our responsible students. These good citizens are chosen by their teachers for demonstrating Respect, Responsibility and Safety. Students can be recognized for any of these traits during any month of the year, with the expectation that each student is recognized at least one time. These students will have their picture taken and will eat lunch with Mrs. Shehan during the monthly Wall of Pride lunch. The April Wall of Pride Students were:
