Welcome to J. z. leyendecker elementary school

Principal's Message

Dear Students, Parents, and Staff, Welcome back! I hope this letter finds you rested, recharged, and ready for another exciting school year at J. Z. Leyendecker Elementary School! It is with great joy and anticipation that I welcome both our returning families and those who are joining our Eagle family for the first time. For this 2025-2026 school year, our mission remains the same: to provide a safe, supportive, and academically challenging environment where every child can grow and succeed. Our dedicated teachers and staff have been hard at work preparing classrooms, lessons, and experiences that will spark curiosity, build confidence, and inspire a love of learning. This year, we are especially excited about continuing our tradition of excellence as an A rated campus, a National Blue-Ribbon School, and as a Texas Honor Roll recognized campus. We believe that education is a team effort. When schools and families work together, amazing things happen. I invite you to stay connected through our newsletters, Class Dojo, school events, and social media. I welcome your input, support, and collaboration throughout the school year. We welcome our students with smiles, open arms, and high expectations. Let’s make this a year to remember as we level up our education! Here’s to a fantastic start and a successful school year! Warmest regards, Maria F. Oviedo Principal
