New Traffic Pattern to Start Soon

Very soon, our street will receive an upgrade to the traffic flow. We have been working diligently with the city of Lancaster to ensure learner safety and easier pick-up, and this traffic plan has been designed for those very reasons. Please note and observe new signs and traffic patterns and be sure to keep our neighboring driveways unobstructed to prevent unwanted traffic tickets. 
School Lunches

Click here for the lunch order form. Lunches can be ordered up to four weeks in advance.

The order form and money are due on the Friday previous to the week of the lunch order. For example, since we are closed next week, lunch orders for the week of January 19 are due on Friday, January 16. Learners who stay in extended day on Friday will also be able to order lunch. We look forward to serving our learners!

Volunteers must be available for half an hour a few days a month after school to attend committee meetings. After-school care will be provided for learners at no charge during the meeting times!

7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Habit of the Month: PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST 

iLEAD Schools embrace the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, from the best-selling book by Dr. Stephen R. Covey. The habits are simple and based upon principles that stand the test of time.  

 

Habit 3 is the habit of integrity and execution. It brings together what we've learned from Habits 1 and 2.

 

To live a more balanced existence, we must recognize that not doing everything that comes along is okay. There's no need to overextend yourself. It's all right to say no when necessary and then focus on your highest priorities.

 

Things that appear urgent are not necessarily important. Important things are timeless--family, home, church, work, self-renewal. Things can be urgent and important, but never let somebody else's poor planning create an emergency for you.

 

Planning ahead relieves the burden of having to constantly make decisions. Knowing what you want to accomplish for the day, the week, and in the long run is part of being organized and important for prioritizing.

Priorities are the "big rocks." All the rocks will fit in our imaginary buckets if we place them inside first. What time remains is free and yours to do with as you choose.

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.

iLEAD Sparkles

2nd Graders Share with Others in Need
Our 2nd grade learners completed their third project in 2014 by answering the driving question:"Why is it important to share with others in need?" The learners brought toys to donate to Grace Resource and asked for help with this toy drive from their iLEAD community. 

The 2nd graders made posters, talked to other grade levels, and even made a phone announcement requesting donations. The response was terrific, and the 2nd grade class was proud to donate 126 toys to Grace Resource. They were delighted to make other children happy with these donations.
