iLEAD LANCASTER VALET SERVICE
 
iLEAD Lancaster has a convenient valet service for our families.
 
In the morning:
 
MORNING DROP-OFF BEGINS AT 8:00. Please enter Avenue K-4 from the west and pull in to the driveway at the west end of our school. (You'll see a valet attendant in a bright vest to direct you.) Drive around the back of the school where another valet attendant will open your car door and help your children exit the car. The learners will enter the building through the back door. Please do not park in this area. If you would like to come into the school, please park in our parking lot and enter through the reception area.
 
In the afternoon:
 
VALET BEGINS AT 3:00. Please enter Avenue K-4 from the west and pull in to the driveway at the west end of our school. Do not turn left into the driveway, as it blocks traffic(You'll see a valet attendant in a bright vest to direct you.) Have your bright-orange valet card (available at Meet the Facilitator Day and on the first day of school) on the driver's side of your dash. An iLEAD staff member will read the last name written on your valet card and use a walkie-talkie to have your child come out to your car. We will be loading cars in the order in which they are parked. After picking up your child(ren), drive slowly out to the front of the school and turn right onto Avenue K-4. This will help prevent traffic congestion. Please be patient the first week while we work out the kinks in the system and get to know the cars/learners.
MORNING KINDERGARTEN DISMISSAL    
Morning kindergarten learners should be picked up in the kindergarten classroom.
 
__ 
AFTERNOON KINDERGARTEN DISMISSAL
 
Afternoon kindergarten learners can use the valet service or be picked up in the classroom. Please speak to your child's facilitator (teacher).

iLEAD Lancaster Health and Wellness Policy

iLEAD Lancaster has adopted a Health and Wellness Policy. Click here to view the entire policy
   
We encourage our families to provide healthy food choices for meals and snacks. For birthday celebrations and other class celebrations, we encourage non-edible items (bubbles, stationery, pencils, etc.), or the donation of a book to the class. If families want to bring in baked items, we ask that parents choose treats listed in our Health and Wellness Policy or that are as healthy and organic as possible. Please speak to your child's facilitator prior to bringing in items for celebrations. We look forward to assisting our families in establishing and maintaining lifelong healthy eating habits.  
Thank You, Volunteers!
  
We would again like to thank our volunteers who worked long hours to get our school ready all this week. Whatever we asked them to do, they enthusiastically completed. Without this assistance, our school would not have looked as beautiful as it did for Meet the Facilitator Day or the first day of school. And all our volunteers earned double volunteer hours!
