Virtual Learning
Did you know that virtual learning is still offered in Leander ISD as a school of choice? If you know of a Leander ISD student that may benefit from virtual learning they are still enrolling students in grades K-8. Here is the informational flier with more details. Reach out the remotelearning@leanderisd.org with any questions.
National Child ID Program
Our district will be distributing an in-home child identification kit to students K-8 on behalf of the State of Texas. Please understand that there is no obligation to fill out the kit, but it will allow you to have a set of fingerprints and DNA for your child in case of an emergency that you can turn over to law enforcement.
These kits are to be STORED AT HOME and only to be given to law enforcement in case of an emergency.
The district is always looking for ways to protect our students from harm or assist in their safety. You can expect the kit to come home with your students in late October.
Please make use of this gift, fill it out and store it in a safe place at home.
Yearbooks
Yearbooks and 8th grade shout-outs are on sale! Both can be ordered at the Balfour store. Yearbooks are $35 if you order before December 31st, and $45 if you order afterward!
Yearbook wants your first-day photos! We’d love to highlight the first-day jitters and celebrations you had back in August–send your photo(s) to michaela.johnson@leanderisd.org for them to be included!

Let's Learn with Bruce: Elections
In an effort to create educational awareness about the November ballot, Leander ISD is hosting a series of conversations. Superintendent Bruce Gearing, Ed.D., will lead a discussion about Propositions A & B over the next several weeks ahead of the November 8 election.
Due to sizable recent increases in property appraisals across our region, the district’s property values have reached a point that has triggered two elections: an Attendance Credit Election (ACE) and a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE).
We encourage the community at-large to learn more about these ballot issues during the following opportunity:
Wednesday, Oct. 26 – 6:30pm, virtual Zoom webinar (link coming soon)
Please use this link Let’s Learn with Bruce: Elections to let us know you’re attending. While sign-up is not required, it helps us plan for how many participants to expect.
We have provided a number of Prop A & B resources as well as voting information.
