Leeds Future Stars Families and Friends,
It’s hard to believe that April is already here, and spring break has arrived! March flew by, and although the weather has been a bit unpredictable with a few cold snaps, we’re hopeful that spring is finally here to stay. We’re looking forward to spending more time outdoors as we begin the final stretch of the school year!
ISASP Testing
Students in grades 3–5 will participate in the Spring 2024–2025 ISASP state testing from April 24th through May 3rd. There are several important ways you can help your child feel prepared and confident during this testing window:
- Ensure your child gets a good night’s sleep.
- Leave enough time in the morning for a healthy breakfast.
- Make sure your child arrives at school on time and ready to learn.
- Offer encouragement and support—cheering them on really makes a difference!
- Simply talking with your child about the tests can help ease any anxiety and reinforce the importance of doing their best.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support. Have a wonderful month!
Mr. Koch
Principal, Leeds Elementary School

Iowa immunization laws require certain immunizations and screenings for students. These requirements are listed on the District website. We encourage you to contact your student’s doctor soon to schedule any required immunizations or screenings so your student is prepared for next fall.
Student medication and/or medical supplies will be sent home with your child on the last day of school. If you would like to make other arrangements, please contact the school office before the last day of school. Any unused medication that remains at school will be disposed of in compliance with federal and state laws or will be given to the School Resource Officers for proper disposal.
