Mr. William Diehl, Principal
Leo Elementary School welcomes you to the 2020-21 school year! We look forward to another outstanding group of students and a highly productive and rewarding year for staff, students and parents of the Leo community.
We have had several physical changes for the new school year and some that will take place during the school year. Foremost is the renovation of our building entrance for additional security. Visitors will step into a vestibule where they will ring a buzzer for the secretary to unlock the door. Once in the office, they will sign in and the secretary will activate another secure door for entry into the hallway. This extra safety measure will be in all EACS schools. Our fifth grade classrooms all have new carpeting. Along with new carpeting, they are being converted to the High Performance Teaming (HPT) environment, similar to our sixth grade. Tables and office chairs have now replaced desks to promote collaboration. Our fourth grade classrooms will receive carpeting and new whiteboards to replace the old chalkboards next summer. Finally, we are very excited that the EACS Renovation Project, that includes major improvements to our building, will move forward with construction beginning in the fall, including a new gym and expansion of the cafeteria.
Let me cover a few more important bits of information. We ask all parents to please use our pre-pay lunch system. Parents are always welcome to join us for lunch. If you bring lunch for your child and yourself, please remember that fast foods and soda pop are not permitted in the cafeteria. As you help pick out your child's school attire, please be mindful of the dress code. Please see the inside of your child's Friday Folder and the EACS Back-to-School Guide for specific and additional information concerning proper attire and other matters. Finally, EACS Transportation policy has strict requirements for any deviation from the normal bus ride home. Those rules require all requests for bus ride deviations be due to an emergency, be in writing, and have the prior approval of the principal.
With all that, let me say that we are looking forward to another spectacular year at Leo Elementary School, an Indiana Four Star and "A" rated school! We will do our best to challenge your child and make their experience at our school both fun and educational.
