Future Star Kindergarten and 5th grade parents,

This is a reminder about the upcoming music concert presented by our Leeds Kindergarten and 5th grade students on March 31st, 2023. Our kindergarten students will take the stage at 1:30pm and our 5th grade students will take the stage at 2:30pm.

Dear Leeds Future Stars Families,

I wish you health, happiness, and peace for the New Year. As we celebrate this new year, 2023, it is always a great time for looking back to the past, but more importantly, looking forward to the coming year. It is a time to reflect on the changes we want, or need, to make and resolve to follow through on those changes.

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday season and that your children are as excited to be back, as we are excited to have them! So far 2022 has been filled with energy and a passion for learning. I can see it on your kids’ faces and hear it in their conversations. They are eager to continue their learning and we are eager to teach them! As we enter 2023, we often create resolutions as this is a natural time to “reboot.” At Leeds Elementary School, we take this time to reemphasize our philosophy of continuous improvement, and our goal of giving kids what they need, when they need it. We live these words each day as we constantly adjust our instruction to meet the needs of our students. What that means to us is that each day, we strive to deliver the best instruction, based on what our kids each need individually. We believe that Leeds Elementary School is a GREAT school, in a GREAT school district, and in 2023 we will continue with our promise to meet the needs of each child, each day, so that they can reach their full potential.

Happy 2023

Mr. Koch

Principal, Leeds Elementary School

School will not be in session on January 13 due to a teacher workday.

Do the terms Snap map, private account, or ghost mode sound familiar? If you answered no, you are not alone. Many families are unfamiliar with these social media terms and others. The District website offers information for parents on the most popular social media platforms and tips for keeping kids safe online.
