iLEAD Lancaster Valet Service
 THE VALET LINE IS MOVING FASTER! THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE! 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
 iLEAD GoSchoolers Learn to Code!
Having a large, new space has opened the door for lots of educational experiences for our GoSchoolers at iLEAD this year!
iLEAD Lancaster Charter School and Reach Robotics are joining forces to bring robotics instruction to our GoSchoolers on campus. Reach Robotics offers local, hands-on robotics instruction for kindergarten through 8th grade learners!
GoSchoolers are learning and using basic skills from the C programming language to get their robot to maneuver obstacles and perform simple tasks. Grades K/1 completed the first half of challenge 1, and grades 2/3 is not far behind. They all heard many new concepts that we will revisit and reinforce in the weeks to come!
We are proud to introduce the lead robotics facilitator for the 4th-7th grade Robotics team at iLEAD: Jason Ames. This will be Mr. Ames' third year leading robotics groups for young minds! It is truly a passion for him, and he is excited to help our children navigate confidently through the robotics world!
Summer Lucas of Reach Robotics says, "I promise to teach code, not do code for your children!" Since we believe it's good for our learners to work through tough tasks, we know they will grow immensely through robotics!  Kindergarteners Learn about Healthy HabitsThe kindergarten community has been embarking on a variety of learning journeys so far this year! They have been working on their "Healthy Me" project and have learned about fruits, vegetables, and grains! They have also started many of their enrichment classes, such as dance and Spanish, and they are loving every minute of it. They are also continuing to learn about letters and what sounds they make. The kindergarteners' creativity, artistic expression, and desire to learn inspire their facilitators and the iLEAD community.  1st Graders Explore the Solar SystemAs part of their solar system project, 1st graders are learning about the vastness of the universe. Even as adult, we have a hard time imagining the distances between the planets and the sun. Armed with a couple of rolls of toilet paper and some inflatable planets and sun, first graders took the learning outside on the playground and made an amazing scale model of the solar system. First graders and their families also attended a Moon Walk at the Prime Desert Woodlands Preserve, where they observed constellations and planets and learned fascinating facts about our night sky from Sage Planetarium Director Jeremy Amarant. The A. V. Astronomy Club was also present with telescopes to provide a closer look at our amazing desert sky.
