Koch's Corner
Dear Leeds Future Stars Families and Friends,
It’s amazing to see that the end of the school year is upon us so quickly. I would like to thank you all for the support and grace you have shown throughout the last nine months. We had many successes and some challenges, yet despite all, we continued the work that has to be done to ensure the safety and educational needs of our students were priority number one.
I would like to thank our hard working and caring faculty and staff who have made a huge difference in the lives of our students. The commitment they have shown through this difficult school year has been remarkable and I feel so blessed that our Leeds students are the beneficiaries. They have provided and supported a rich, engaging, and well-rounded experience for our students.
In closing, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate all students of Leeds Elementary School! I wish you all a very happy, safe and enjoyable summer. Please be sure to take time as family to talk, play and READ together.
I look forward to seeing you in August! To those students and families that are leaving us for new places, we wish you all the best!!
Ron Koch
Principal, Leeds Elementary School

Communication and Preparedness
Student and staff safety is of paramount importance in the Sioux City Community School District. For this reason, the District exercises a host of crisis prevention and planning tactics. Should an emergency occur, the school notifies you through our Blackboard phone system. In an emergency, the system calls every phone number associated with your child in order to reach you. The message will give you details about the emergency and provide directions on when/where to pick up your child if the normal school day is altered. Learn more about school safety.
