Our campus is collecting donations of new socks and undies for our Leander ISD Clothes Closet. Please drop off donations in the front office anytime during the month of October. You will help students win either a crazy sock day (if we get more socks donated) or a Super Hero Day (if we get more undies donated). Our Bearkats love a good dress up day so let's do our good deed and have some fun at the same time!

One quick safety request for families: Please do not park near the service yard/band hall after school. During dismissal we have cars parking in this area which causes backup and some safety concerns. You can utilize our car pick up line or park in the front parking lot to pick up your students.

Yearbooks are on sale and there are lots of community events coming up. Flyers are posted below!

As a reminder, students do not have school on Monday, October 14th. We will see our Bearkats on Tuesday.

Wishing you all a beautiful weekend,

Dr. Cruz 💙🧡

Hello,

State mandated spinal screens will be taking place at your child's campus on October 17. Trained screeners will check your child for signs of spinal problems like scoliosis.

Girls

Girls will be screened two times, once in 5th grade and again in 7th grade.

Boys

Boys will be screened one time in 8th grade.

The screening is simple. Screeners will look at your child’s back while he or she stands and bends forward.

Important Recommendations:

• All students will have to remove their shirt for the exam.

• Girls must wear a bra or two-piece swimsuit top.

• Boys and girls will be screened separately and individually.

The campus nurse will send you a letter if your child does not pass the screening. The letter will tell you how to follow up with a doctor.

This screening is not a medical exam. Your child still needs to see a doctor for their annual checkups.

If you do not wish to have your child screened for religious reasons, you must submit notification via email to the campus nurse school no later than October 16.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. Thank you.
