Safety First


If you are picking up your child early from school and the office staff does not recognize you, we will need to ask for your ID. If you send someone else to pick up your student, let them know they will need to bring their ID before we release the student to them.  If the person picking up your student is not on Campus as an authorized “pick up” person, we will not release the student until such person has been added. If you need assistance adding emergency contacts, please call the office and we will walk you through the process. 

Leawood Columbine 2022 Senior Celebration

Do you know a graduating Columbine High School senior who went to Leawood? Please reach out to them and tell them about our new breakfast tradition, May 19 at 9:30am. We are inviting back all of our Leawood Lions that are graduating from Columbine this year for breakfast. We will invite back former teachers who knew them as well.  Should be fun! Have them call the school to RSVP or email Martha.Shehan@jeffco.k12.co.us

School Fees

Please review your fees and pay any outstanding amounts. Unpaid fees will convert to fines at the end of the school year and will stay on the student’s record to the next grade levels until paid, regardless to which Jeffco School you transfer. Please pay ASAP. Fees can be viewed and paid online via the Infinite Campus and click on Student Fees. Fees can also be paid via cash, check or credit card in the office or by phone with Mrs. Russell (303-982-7860x5). If you are struggling with a hardship or need assistance regarding outstanding fees, please feel free to email Mrs. Shehan at martha.shehan@jeffco.k12.co.us

Medication Pickup

If your child has medication at the school, please pick up their medication on the last day of school, May 25th. Medication must be picked up by the parent/guardian. We are not allowed to give it to the child. Any medication that is not picked up from the health clinic will be disposed of.

Thank you,

Mrs. Perry
