Welcome to the Bulldog family! 🐾
We are absolutely thrilled to introduce the newest member of our district team, our new Middle School/High School Paraprofessional! 🏫✨
While she might already be a familiar face to many of our students, please join us in giving her an official, warm Bulldog welcome! Here is a little bit about her in her own words:
"I moved to Leeton in January 2026 and completely fell in love with the town and the school district. I became a substitute teacher for the district after moving here and have subbed for a variety of classes throughout the school. I'm a mother of two awesome boys and have the pleasure of being married to my best friend. I have my own photography business I do on the side and help out with the PTO. I'm happy to join the Bulldog team and see how much we can all achieve together."
We are incredibly fortunate to have her passion, experience, and dedication transitioning into this new role to support our MS/HS students every day.
WELCOME to the bulldog family Ms. Hartupee! 🖤💛

Leeton Elementary had our celebration parade last night, and it was a blast! We loved getting to see our students and families roll through as they received packets filled with all of their hard work and accomplishments from this year. We love celebrating our students and can’t wait for next year!
Elementary students are making memories one field day at a time! Students came ready to play, work together, and enjoy the sunshine. It’s a great day to be a Bulldog!
