Summer school will take place from May 28th-June 13th. As a reminder, summer school is open to any student from any district; however, transportation is only available to students who live in the Leeton School District (who live more than 1 mile from the school).

Please remember that summer school fills fast and classes are filled on a first come, first serve basis! So get them filled out and sent back as soon as possible.

Students in 2nd-5th grades have been invited to participate in our local young authors contest! The flyer above includes additional information.

While many students have been working on writing projects in class, some work may need to be done at home to complete their story. Please reach out to your child's teacher with any questions.

We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to partner with West Central Boys and Girls Club of America to provide afterschool care for our students K-8th grade. B&G Club is open from the end of the school day until 6:30 p.m.

If you are interested in signing your child up for B&G Club, please complete the online registration attached below. If you need a paper copy of the enrollment packet please reach out to the elementary office. If you have any questions or need assistance with B&G club, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Area Site Director, Sharliene Fulton @ 660-233-2230.

Student meal prices:

Breakfast: $1.50

Lunch: $2.70

Reduced Breakfast: $0.40

Reduced Lunch: $0.40

There are two ways you can put money on your child's lunch account:

1. Submit payment to the elementary office. If you are sending the money with your child, please make sure to place the money in an envelope and that it is clearly marked whose account it goes to;

2. Pay online via the parent portal. Please note, there is a small service fee associated with this type of transaction.

Your child is allowed to charge up to $5.00. After this point, they will be given their meal each day, but no seconds will be allowed. Please also note that seconds are not offered to K-1st grade students. However, there is a fruit and vegetable bar available every day and students are allowed to have as much of these items as they would like as long as they are not being wasteful.

What is PBIS?

Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) is a process in which our school staff has worked together to identify behavioral expectations (see Matrix below), teach these expectations consistently to our students, and provide positive specific feedback to reinforce expected behavior. Make sure to check out the picture below.

What PBIS is not...

PBIS focuses on teaching expected behaviors and providing positive feedback to students when they follow those expectations, but at Leeton we focus on providing feedback in ways that encourage intrinsic motivation (through verbal feedback and student shout-outs that are included in our morning announcements) rather than trinkets and tangible tokens. PBIS is also not a replacement for consequences when a student does not follow our expectations. Depending on the level of the offense, students will given consequences that are outlined in our parent handbook (pages 29-32).
