- Best/favorite projects
- Favorite field trips, visitors, activities, school functions, etc.

We encourage our learners to be creative and let their presentation pieces be another extension of their individuality.

Remember Your Valet Card
| |
Please remember to bring your valet card when you pick up your learners through valet. Although we've gotten to know many of you, having your valet card makes it easier to identify you and call for your child. Occasionally someone besides Andrew may be calling for learners on the walkie-talkie. Having the valet card visible makes the system more efficient. We thank you for your support as we work to keep our learners safe and our valet system running smoothly.

We Need Our Learners at School
| |
 Why is attendance an important issue?
Did you know?
Regular attendance is vital to a learner's success in school. The learner who is frequently absent misses social interaction and opportunities for project exploration. Any day or hour absent is a missed learning opportunity.
Did you know? A school loses funding for each absence, regardless of the reason.
Did you know? Learners who are going to be absent for any length of time may be able to go on independent study. Please contact the school about the possibility of going on short-term independent study.
To report an absence, please call the office or send a note. |
Parking Reminder - Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!
| |
We thank you for listening to us and being good neighbors to the businesses around us. Since we sent out our notification phone call, our families have listened and have parked in the iLEAD Lancaster parking lots.
iLEAD families are invited to park in the lots to the immediate east and west sides of the school.
Please do not park in the east lot that is farther away from our school. That is not part of iLEAD Lancaster Charter School. Cars parked there may be ticketed or towed. Use only the first driveway east of the school.

Don't Forget Your Volunteer Hours

iLEAD seeks to make education a community passion. To this end, parent participation is essential to the success of the education process. It is because of families like you that we are able to offer such a unique program for our children here at iLEAD. Families attending iLEAD agree to commit to 4 hours per month or 40 hours per year of participation.
Examples of iLEAD Family Volunteer Work
- In-class support as an educator aide
- Adult workshops: parents teaching other parents
- Attending Parent University offerings (Love and Logic, 7 Habits)
- Outside research in support of specific school projects
- Coordinating or assisting at a school community event (family movie night, science night, math night)
- Driving on field trips (must register as driver)
- Hosting an activity in your home or business
- Coaching or operating an after-school enrichment class
- Organizing a community service project for learners
- Supervising at the school: lunch periods, front desk
- Assisting with morning valet
- Operation support: maintenance of the campus
- Recruiting event participation (booths, fairs, marketing materials)
Families having difficulties meeting the participation commitment should contact Office Manager Laura Henriquez at laura.henriquez@ileadschools.org or stop by the office to speak with her.
We thank our families who are volunteering their time and talent, and we look forward to having all our families participate as part of our school community.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Habit of the Month: SHARPEN THE SAW
| | Habit 7 is Sharpen the Saw. It is the habit of renewal. To maintain and increase our effectiveness, we must renew ourselves in body, heart, mind, and soul. This improves our capacity, builds stronger relationships, and allows for continuous improvement. Building greater reserves builds the strength we need for those hard moments when we need to show the grit, determination, and patience that are the hallmarks of a strong character.
Sharpening the Saw is what a lumberjack must do in order to cut wood efficiently and effectively. The same applies to the scissors of the seamstress, the paintbrushes of the painter, and the tools of the craftsman. Studying this habit brings to mind the story of the goose and the golden eggs. Taking care of the goose will ensure the continued yield of golden eggs.
Taking care of ourselves is an investment. It takes time, planning, and commitment. Do you recall the lessons of earlier habits? Get out of the urgency quadrant by reducing stress. Eat well and exercise to ensure physical strength and energy. Get enough sleep, and never let the things that matter least take precedence over the things that matter the most.
Dr. Covey asks us to assume, for a moment, that we've had a heart attack in the last month. How would you approach exercise and nutrition? We all know the basic facts about healthy living, but do we REALLY take the time to incorporate these valuable habits into our daily routines? Sharpening the Saw means taking the time for oneself, to make a commitment to care better for our most valued relationships by ensuring we are optimizing our own spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health.
