iLEAD Lancaster Valet Service
 iLEAD families: Please do not block the driveways of the businesses on K-4. We need to be good neighbors and keep their driveways clear. Thank you! 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 in the office) 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. We thank you for your continued support of our valet system.

iLEAD Lancaster Health and Wellness 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.

iLEAD Sparkles
Kindergarten
 There is nothing like the very first first day of school! What an adventure! Kindergarten learners enjoyed iLEAD's first week in our new learning spaces by getting to know the school, making new friends, and learning about procedures and classroom expectations.
The kindergarten community consists of two morning classes and one afternoon class. Both came together for the first time on Friday, which is an overlap day. Careful planning and lots of flexibility ensured that this day was filled with fun activities and creative opportunities. Parent (and grandparent!) volunteers assisted with management and supervision while the facilitators worked to keep the fun in Fun Friday and the children actively engaged.
 A favorite activity center was in the iLEAD Village. Young artists freely explored tempera paint cakes. How much water is needed to adequately cover space on the paper? How do we create lighter and darker colors? What happens when we mix the colors? How much fun is it to paint with new friends?
Our adventures continue!
