Our next meeting is Wednesday, November 17th at 6:30PM via Google Meets. Get caught up on all the great things happening at Leawood! Look for the link from Mrs. Shehan the afternoon of the 17th.
If you haven’t joined the PTSA yet, it’s only $8.00/year ($14.50 double membership) and really does help us support all the wonderful things happening at Leawood. Remember, you get a free Leawood Pride car decal with every membership.
The meeting will be held through Google Meet. We will be discussing the UIP, as well as other important issues facing our school. We sent this input form for parents to give input on what goals you would like Accountability to focus on this year. If you haven't had a chance, please complete:

As a reminder, there have been some great changes to the Scrip program that make it easier for you to earn rebates to apply towards any school fees (not just for Outdoor Lab)! The changes include:
Rebates are now allocated to family - not an individual student
No maximum limits per family
Rebates can be applied towards any Jeffco Public School fee
Scrip now accepts credit cards (2.6% Scrip transaction fee)
Throughout the year, Scrip runs special bonus and promo offers. Ensure you are signed-up to received program updates directly from Scrip to stay on top of all bonus and promo opportunities! You can update your account to receive email updates from Scrip.
If you want a reimbursement, the process will be to submit a check request form (available on Memberhub or in the financial office) for reimbursement to you directly. You will need to provide original receipts for the school fees. Return the form to the main office at Leawood. We ask for a 2-3week turnaround time to mail out the checks. More information can be found on Memberhub or by emailing leawoodloot@gmail.com.
Another great way to earn rebates to apply towards your child's Jeffco Public School fees is by designating Leawood PTSA as the recipient of your King Soopers Community Rewards. These rewards are loaded to your Scrip account and just like Scrip rewards, they are split 50/50 between Leawood PTSA and your rebate account. It is easy to setup:
Create or login to your King Soopers account
Navigate to MyAccount using drop down option in upper right corner under Valued Customer
Select Community Rewards from the left hand navigation pane
Choose Leawood Elementary School (organization number XH254) as your benefiting organization
At the end of each calendar quarter you will get a reminder email to provide a screenshots to leawoodloot@gmail.com to add rewards to your Scrip balance
Did you know that 0.5% from your Amazon purchases could be donated to the Leawood PTSA? It is easy to setup >
Go to smile.amazon.com (note special website for Smile donations)
Login with your Amazon username and password
Select Leawood Elementary, Littleton CO as your charity
Also needs to be set-up in your Amazon Shopping mobile app by clicking on menu bar in top left corner and navigating to Amazon Smile
Easy as that > Start earning every time you purchase!
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 October Wall of Pride Students were:
