A Note from Mr. Semmler
1) Parents we have been notified by transportation that not all students are wearing their seatbelts on the bus. This is required for safety of all our students. We do not want any student to be removed from riding the bus because they are not wearing a seatbelt.
Congratulations to our L.E.A.F. Grant winners!
These amazing teachers applied and earned a grant to help enrich the learning environment for their students at Leaman. We appreciate their hard work and dedication to staying Charged Up!

Course Selection Schedule for 6th, 7th and 8th Grade Students
Parks Youth Ranch (PYR) invites families in the area to the 8th annual Go Fish at our property located at 11614 FM 361, Richmond, TX on Saturday, April 1, 2023. This family-friendly fishing derby allows kids of all ages the opportunity to experience fun in the great outdoors. PYR has two ponds stocked with catfish and bass, which means all participants will have a chance to catch that special fish. Lucky anglers who catch the first fish in their age group will receive a trophy.
No fishing experience or fishing license is required. Just bring your poles, we’ll provide the bait!
Wristbands for Go Fish are $20 for kids and adults. Your admission includes lunch, carnival style games, bounce houses and Story Time with Cristina of PaperPie (formerly Usborne Books).
Event underwriting and sponsorships are available starting at just $100.

PBIS Donations
PBIS Expectations & Rewards - PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions & Supports. One large piece is explaining expectations upfront. Another piece is rewarding students when we see those focused on positive behaviors. 3 campus-wide expectations posters (CLICK HERE) are placed throughout the campus. Teachers will take time during the first day or two to explain these rules in detail and help students understand what they look like. Our campus is also implementing new software (Classcraft) to encourage students to earn rewards and use them in many different ways. Here is a short video on how Classcraft works: https://youtu.be/M2uqd9ZOMaw. Please have your child download the app on their device and log into Classlink on the LCISD webpage (at the top) to start to explore what this is all about. They do NOT need a phone to do this. It can be done on a laptop or computer.
Parents if you are interested in donating to the PBIS school store the following list is a great start. We accept all donations both monetary and items.
We are excited to announce that H-E-B is a proud sponsor of the PBIS Store at Leaman.
If your company would like to sponsor the store, please contact Mr. Kracker, Mr. Gilmore or Ms. Session for more information.
