September 2024 Newsletter

The first few weeks are already behind us, and we are off to a great start! As we enter the second month of school, we are thrilled to see our students learn new things, and we are confident that all students can achieve outstanding academic growth.

With that being said, ATTENDANCE MATTERS! Students perform better when they attend school every day and on time. Good attendance also helps prepare students for their careers in the future.

We thank you for all your help and support! Go Dragons!!!

DeLeon Elementary

Assistant Principal

Thank you for being patient with us as we perfect our dismissal procedures. Below are a few reminders.

• Stay in your car and display car card until your child gets in.
• Keep pulling up so we can load more cars at once.
• Pull up or to the side if you need to buckle in your child.
• Please be on time as all staff are off duty at 4 p.m.
• Park and come in with your ID if you do not have a car card.

This month in guidance class, we will focus on the character trait of Respect. We hope this inspires discussions with your family about what Respect means to you and how you can practice it together!
