With Circool, you will simply use your phone to display a digital QR Code, which serves as your digital check-in. Upon arrival, present your QR Code on your phone—or your physical ID if your phone is not available—to our staff at the door. They will scan your QR Code ticket as you enter and print your name badge. What you need to know now: FIRST: Please make sure your contact information is correct in PowerSchool! Circool syncs with PowerSchool to make setting up your account easier. If you have not completed the returning student registration to update your information please use your snap code to do this as soon as possible. On July 30th, you will receive an email to activate your Circool account. The subject line will read “Leeds City Schools invites you to Circool”. Please watch out for it. Follow the instructions in that email. If you have any questions, you can email us at email@email.com or support@circool.com

Meal Sponsors Needed | Leeds Band Boosters
The Leeds High School Band Boosters has approximately 50% of their meals sponsored for the band. This non-profit organization will need 10 meals to cover the regular football and competition season and we are still looking for sponsors.
We provide drinks, an entree, dessert and a side for 120 people for every game and competition. It is important to feed our band students before away games and competitions. Band students go directly from school to away game preparations so they do not go home and eat. Band Boosters feed them so they have fuel for the game. For competitions, band students have a long day of practice, travel, and performance so these students must have fuel to represent Leeds well. Meal sponsors are also needed for away games during the playoffs, but we don't have those dates yet.
Meals may be sponsored by providing money (and the Band Boosters will order and prepare the meal) or by bringing the meal to the band. More than one person, business, or group can sponsor a meal to share the cost. Sponsors are publicly thanked on our Facebook page and the Band app (for band parents and students).
Thanks so much for your help!!!
