This year, DLE is excited to support the Shared Dreams Food Cupboard with our Crunch-Tober initiative. We are asking our students to help by donating cereal and oatmeal. Please check expiration dates and try to give items that last a long time. Your donations will make a big difference in our community. Thank you for being generous and encouraging our students to be helpful servant leaders!

Leonetti Dismissal Tag Pick Up

Dismissal Tag Pick Up

This year, DLE is offering early pick-up times for families to receive their dismissal tags. Every student, regardless of their dismissal mode, will receive a dismissal number and tag.

Benefits of picking up your dismissal tag early include:

  • Early Teacher Notification: Find out your child's teacher ahead of time. If you're unable to pick up the tag early, you will be notified of your child's homeroom placement by August 2.

  • Time to Memorize: More time for parents to help their child remember their dismissal number. Once students remember their number, the car line will move faster.

  • Support Staff: Helping the campus by providing staff more time to finalize dismissal rosters

  • Carpool Efficiency: The ability to consolidate carpool riders to one single number.

Early Pick-Up Times at the DLE Gym:

  • Wednesday, July 24: 1 p.m. - 3:30 p.m.

  • Thursday, July 25: 9 a.m. - 11:30 a.m.

Please note that all class assignments are subject to change as enrollment changes throughout the year.

April VIPS of the Month

Our VIPS for the Month of April is Sara Bartolone!

Since moving to the Sienna community last September, Sara and her family have embraced Leonetti Elementary as their new home. They appreciate the school's excellent academic environment, the dedicated teachers, and the warm, welcoming atmosphere. Sara has watched her daughter thrive and has made lifelong friends within the Leonetti community.

Sara loves volunteering because it allows her to support the school, share her talents, and be part of something big. She enjoys collaborating with teachers, staff, and the PTO to enhance the school experience for everyone.

Thank you, Sara, for your dedication and passion. You make a significant impact on our school community!
