Leopard Link
September 14th
Message from Mrs. Vaughan
We have noticed that we have some walkers arriving to school prior to when staff are available. If your child walks to school, please make sure they do not arrive prior to 8:10am. It is a safety concern if students are coming to school too early because there is no supervision.
New this year, we now have an email address for reporting absences. If your child is out, please send an email to OLEADA@KatyISD.org. We ask that you use this email address instead of emailing or sending a Dojo to their child's teacher.
Our staff has been working very hard to ensure the best start for our Leopards. Each week we will post a link in our Leopard Link that allows you to give a "Shout Out" to staff for a job well done. Thank you in advance for helping to recognize the great things happening at Leonard.

Lunch Visitor Sign Up
As a reminder only grandparents with a parent/guardian note may visit without a guardian one time per week. Due to space limitations, only 2 visitors per student will be allowed at a time. This includes non-school age siblings.
New this year- we will use a Sign Up Genius so parents reserve their spot for lunch. The link will come out the Wednesday before the week in which you can visit for lunch. Please remember to specify the number of visitors attending lunch.

Pre-Order Your Yearbook Before The Price Increases!
Item Drop Off for Students
Delivery to students of flowers, balloons, class birthday treats, and other such items are prohibited at school.
We recognize there will be occasions in which your child does forget their lunch. If a lunch is forgotten at home it must be dropped off by 10am and will be delivered to your child. Only medically necessary items will be delivered after 10am.
Changes of Transportation
Transportation must be either sent in with your student on the day of the change or emailing olecommunications@katyisd.org from a registered email on your student’s account, or by coming up to the vestibule of the school with your valid ID to verify guardianship before 2:30pm. If emailing, please be sure to include student’s name, grade, teacher, change of dismissal (include bus #, address, and stop location if changing to bus), and the date(s) of the change.
A+ Pay N' Go App - Birthday Marquee, Birthday Book Club & Student Id's
Parents and Guardians,
Katy ISD is transitioning to cashless campuses. Therefore, Leonard Elementary will not be accepting cash for school sanctioned events including field trips, fundraisers, materials, etc. All monetary transactions must be made through the Pay N Go App. Any cash sent to school will be returned home with the student unless it is for payment for cafeteria. Cafeteria will continue to take cash payments. Please see the directions below regarding steps in setting up your Pay N Go account. Thank you for your cooperation as we make this transition.
You will need to go to Katyisd.org and create and account with A+ Pay & Go if you have not already done so. Click HERE to go to the A+ Pay & Go website. Once you log in, you will click: Elementary > Elem I - Q > Leonard Elementary for our A + Pay & Go Menu
The Birthday Marquee is for your student's name to appear on the lighted front marquee for the week of your student's birthday. Please sign up at least 5 school days prior to the week of the birthday. Cost is $20.00
For Birthday Marquee, once you log in, click: Elementary > Elem I - Q > Leonard Elementary > OLE Birthday Marquee
The Birthday Book Club is for your student's name to be added to the Book Club Calendar, a book plate with their name is placed on the inside cover of the book of their choosing and donated in the honor of his/her birthday, they will be recognized on the morning announcements, and they get to be the first to check the book out.
Volunteers
We are excited to have our families and community volunteer at our campus this year! Effectively immediately, all volunteers must apply through the district in order to volunteer on any campus. The application can be found on the district's website. Once you have completed the application and the district has processed it, your name will be added to the volunteer database.
