Once again, we thank our donors for all the contributions given throughout the year. Because of your support, we knocked out another project at Leonetti Elementary! Check out the facelift in the 5th grade flex space. Our DLE PTO worked diligently with the teachers to transition this empty room to a space that accommodates flexible seating for 30 students, including lap desks! Can't wait to see this learning space in action!
Final School Store of the Year
School Store will be open during recess for all grade levels this Friday, and it’s the last chance for our Lions to shop this school year!
School Store is run by volunteers, so sign up to be a part of the fun and help run the store for two back-to-back recess periods. Click here to sign up.
School Store is cash only. Sending money in a labeled ziploc bag makes it easy for kids to bring home their new toys. It’s not a must-do, but it’s helpful for the students and volunteers!
The store may be moved to grade-level flex spaces in the event of rain.
Librarian Appreciation Day
Thank you to our wonderful Librarian Ms. Perez and Librarian Assistant Ms. Hernandez for encouraging our children to be bookworms. We appreciate you!

It’s STAAR TESTING season! As a reminder, when students are testing for STAAR on the above dates, the school does not allow for any visitors or guests in the building throughout the day including lunch.
Volunteer at Shared Dreams
In conjunction with our spring Deeds for Donald Toiletry Drive, there are two dedicated volunteer day opportunities for Leonetti parents, grandparents, and neighbors to help at the Shared Dreams facility (adults only).
Thank you to all those who contributed to the Toiletry Drive.

Each week, Paw Prints featured one of our wonderful paraprofessionals so we could get to know these important members of our school community. Thank you to all of the wonderful paraprofessionals who make a difference at DLE!
