Parent-Teacher Conferences (October 26 & 27)

A strong home-school partnership is an essential component in ensuring every child's success. We value the relationships our team builds with each Leonard family. While we welcome and encourage communication at any time throughout the school year, TSD has set aside two days in October for every parent to meet with their child(ren)'s teacher. This 15-minute individual time is intended for the teacher to share celebrations and goals with you. It is also a great time for parents to ask specific questions and make plans for supporting their children. This year we will have the option of an in-person or a virtual conference, depending on the day:

Wednesday, October 26: All In-Person Conferences

Thursday, October 27: All Virtual Conferences

Please use the link below to reserve your conference appointment. It is important that all families have a scheduled time. If you have made an appointment for Thursday, your child's teacher will share a link with you in the coming weeks for you to join the virtual conference.

For families that have elected to have a virtual conference, it will likely be easier for you to connect to the conference if you download the Microsoft Teams app on your personal device. (This year, our district has moved to Teams instead of Zoom as a cost-savings measure.)

TSD Bond 2022

This upcoming Election Day (November 8), an important school bond is on the ballot. The purpose of this bond is to secure funds to upgrade our schools in four major areas: Safety and Technology; Infrastructure and Sustainability; Program Enhancements; and Future-Ready Learning Environments. We are excited about the possibility of making a generational impact in our community. A few highlights about what this bond could mean for Leonard are:

  • An additional third kindergarten classroom
  • Upgraded, accessible playgrounds for ALL children
  • ADA compliant bathrooms
  • Enhanced safety/security measures (ex. additional cameras)
  • New classroom furniture and design
  • Dimmable lighting
  • Media Center updates

Please save the date to VOTE on November 8!
