Jesus said, “Let the children come to me and do not stop them,

Because the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.”

Matthew 19:14

 

Dear Parent/Guardian:

 

In teaching your children here at St. Leonard, let us all remember the following.  Every child is a priceless gift from the Creator.  As parents, friends of parents, teachers, aunts, and grandmothers, we understand the critical importance of raising our children with love, with discipline, and with God.  Every child deserves the presence of caring adults who serve as godly role models.  Let us always be mindful of the profound responsibilities of teaching and raising our children to know the Lord and to walk with Him always.

 

End of Year Tuition and Fees

 

Parents, please keep in mind that May 15th is the date that all outstanding monies, including tuition, fundraising, church attendance and any other fees are due.  Report cards and diplomas for 8th grade and Kindergarten students will not be distributed to students if their tuition and/or fees are not paid by May 15th.  Report cards and diplomas will be held and mailed one week after all payments are received.  If you are returning to St. Leonard School next year and have not registered, please do so as soon as possible.

 

Graduation

     

Congratulations to all students in Kindergarten and 8th grade as you move onward and upward to new ventures.  To all St. Leonard students, whether you are starting or ending your journey this year, we salute you, and wish you good luck in the future.

 

End of School Pick-Up

 

As you come to pick up your students at the end of the school day, please do not park in the driveways of the residents of our street.
