The 26-27 School Year Approaches!

A Welcome Message

A Message from Principal Fehrenbach

Dear Leland families,
The 26-27 school year is approaching! You’ll be receiving more detailed information as we continue to prepare for the school year, and this message has some helpful August information in the meantime.

🗓️The calendar for the school year is available here or on our website by clicking “Calendars.” 

💬We continue to use ParentSquare for our home-to-school communication at Leland. Be sure to download the app if you’d like to personalize your notification settings. 

🏫Please plan to attend Open House! Our Open House is scheduled for Wednesday, August 26 for all K–12 families. Drop in to this can't-miss event between 5 pm and 7 pm to:


  • see Elementary class lists
  • receive MS/HS student schedules
  • eat a delicious Farm-to-School dinner
  • complete any required school year paperwork
  • connect with friends, families, and staff!

✅School Supply Lists have been posted to the LPS website and are available here: lelandschool.com/supplies.  
Note: Each age group/level has its own page in that slide deck for easy screenshots and printing.

🍁Fall sports are beginning August 10. (Aug 24 for Middle School). You can follow along, sign your student up for a sport, and find information about competition dates and times on our LPS Athletics website
All athletes need to have Final Forms registration completed by Tuesday, August 11. After Tuesday, passwords will change and you’ll need assistance from Technology Specialist Jordan Wurm jwurm@lelandschool.com to access student Final Forms accounts.
