The Leeds Elementary School Administrators

From the Desk of the Principal: Alan Loman

It is hard to believe that the school year is coming to a close.  With just six weeks left in the marking period, we are encouraging students to keep focused and work hard so that the end of the school year is as productive as the beginning of the school year.  We are very proud of the growth that each and every student has made this year at Leeds and appreciate all of the support that parents have given.  The Leeds community is a very caring and generous community and I appreciate all of you!!

This has been a wonderful year for me and I have enjoyed getting to know your children.  As the Principal of the school, I value your input for comments and suggestions for continuous improvement.  Attached to the back of this month's newsletter is a survey for all parents to complete and return to school.  This feedback will be used as we begin the planning process for the 2008-2009 school year.  I appreciate your willingness to share your thoughts and ideas with me.

I hope that you have a relaxing, enjoyable and safe summer.  Enjoy special time with your child reading.  Remember the best way to maintain reading skills it to read and read often!

Nacrelli's Notes: Assistant Principal Cathy Nacrelli

CAR RIDER LOOP PROCEDURES:

*The car rider loop continues to allow parents the convenience of picking up their children in a timely fashion on a daily basis.

* Please remember to be considerate of the other parents and children in the Loop. If your child has been delayed, please move your car up and to the side in order to keep the line moving smoothly.

*When waiting for your child, please park in one line, not in the parking spaces.

*Please do not come to your child, your child will be brought to you.

*It is important that you are patient when waiting for your child; do not go around the cars that are in line ahead of you.

*Please be sure to send a note or call before 2:00 p.m. if your child will be in the Loop for a one-day pick-up. Notes for one-day riders are distributed at 3:15 pm to the teachers to ensure that both students and teachers are aware of this change from the normal routine. If you call after this time, you will be required to come into the school and sign your child out. We apologize for any inconvenience.

*If your child will be picked up for a one-time appointment, just send a written note that includes the child’s name and the name of the adult who will be picking the student up from Leeds.  Please make sure that the adult brings a valid license to show the faculty member in charge.

It is important that these rules are followed, as the safety of your child is our top priority!  Thank you for your cooperation.
