Parents and Guardians,
As we move into October, I hope your family is able to take time to enjoy all the many fall activities that living in Colorado provides. It has been wonderful to see so many people attend our first PTSA and Accountability meetings in September. We are thrilled to have so many new Preschool and Kindergarten parent volunteers, as well as so many new Watch Dog Dads in our halls and classrooms! Involvement and communication is key! Please contact us should you have any concerns, questions, or comments. When schools and families work together, children benefit.
Administrators and teachers everywhere recognize the important contributions parents make toward a child’s success in school. There is no question about it - success at school begins at home. Parents are the single most important variable in a child’s schooling. Parents model both a silent and spoken language in front of their children daily. The close partnership between home and school is one of the exceptional strengths at Leawood. We have a strong tradition of supportive, hard-working parents. Throughout the year parents have the opportunity to develop that partnership in a wide variety of ways such as joining the PTSA, volunteering in the classroom, attending Accountability meetings, reading to their children, and helping in many other ways. It is important to your child that you are involved in some way at school. It’s a way to let your child know you think his or her school is important.
