Leeton, Missouri - 4/16/2024 Leeton R-X School District is thrilled to announce the return of high school Volleyball to our sports lineup in the upcoming Fall 2024 season. This marks a significant milestone as Leeton welcomes back Volleyball after a hiatus of over 20 years. Currently, the district is in the selection and hiring process for a new head coach who will lead the Volleyball program. Details about summer camps and fall schedules will be released in the near future. The district encourages interested coaching candidates to reach out to the Leeton Athletic Director's Office for more information. With the addition of Fall Volleyball, Leeton girls now have a wide range of sports options throughout the year, including Winter Basketball, Spring Softball, and Track.

Leeton R-X School District Announces Change in Summer School Plans Leeton, Missouri – 4/12/2024 – Leeton R-X School District regrets to announce that due to new funding guidance from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, we will not be hosting summer school this year from May 28th to June 13th. Our district's intent is always to open up additional educational avenues in a fiscally responsible manner. However, in light of the new guidance we have made the decision to not offer summer school this May and June. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the understanding and support of our students, parents, and community members as we close out the 2023 – 2024 school year. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me. Best Wishes, Adam Easterwood
