Message from the Principal
I want to send out our thoughts and condolences to our families affected by the fire at the Bexley apartments last night. Please know we are working closely with PTA and are here to offer any support you may need. The Leander ISD community would love to partner with you to make sure you have everything needed to recover from this traumatic event. If you need anything please reach out to myself at alison.pennington@leanderisd.org or the campus at 512-570-7200.
Thank you,

Message from Leander ISD Clothes Closet to all victims of the Fire in Cedar Park
Dear Cedar Park families,
In the aftermath of the recent devastating fire that has affected our community yesterday, we understand that many families are now facing the difficult task of rebuilding their lives from the ground up. At this challenging time, the Leander ISD Council of PTAs would like to extend a helping hand to those in need by providing access to our Clothes Closet.
We can arrange a day and time that works for any families in need, to come and visit the Leander ISD PTA Clothes Closet at 324 S West Dr Leander TX 78641. Here they will be able to browse and take any clothing items needed. We also offer a personalized shopping service; families can provide us with specific clothing sizes, preferences, and any special requirements, and our volunteers will carefully select those clothing items on their behalf.
We want to ensure the families know that they are not alone during this challenging time, and we hope that our Clothes Closet can provide some relief. We would be grateful if you could share this message with those that need support.
Any questions or further information required, please feel free to contact us at:

Visitor/Volunteer and Picking up Students Information
Visitor/Volunteer and Picking up Students Information
- We love to have our families volunteer and visit our campus! The expectation this school year is all visitors must check in at the front office and have a valid Driver's License or Passport to be scanned into our system. This includes anyone who is picking up a student early during the school day. If the person picking up a student early is someone other than the child's parent/guardian, the front office needs parent permission before we can release them early - no exceptions. Please make sure your Home Access Account is up to date with approved individuals for your child to be pick up by other than their primary guardian.
- Once you are scanned into our system you will not have to be scanned again but will need to show prof of identity when visiting in the future.
- To volunteer on our campus you must be an approved LISD volunteer each school year. It is a quick application process and can be done on the LISD website. This must be completed to volunteer in your child's classroom, attend field trips, and help out at campus events.
- Watch our Check-in Video to learn more about our Reagan Visitor Practices.
2023-2024 First Day of School Procedures
We will remain a closed campus to visitors during arrival and dismissal each day. Safety of all kids is our #1 priority.
We really encourage families to begin your usual mode of transportation starting day one; however we recognize that this might be the first time you and your child have been on campus and we will have multiple staff members out and about to support our Rays getting to and from class. We are committed to doing whatever we can to help your child feel comfortable Day 1.
Pre-K and Kindergarten families are allowed to walk their child to class on the first day of school only. Please complete the RSVP form below to help with the check in process. If you RSVP, you are able to be checked in at the Kindergarten door by the garden. You will need to show proof of identification before entrance into the building. Our doors will close at 7:30 am and all visitors must exit our building by 7:35 am.
