Message from the Directors


Dear parents,


We had an incredible first week of school. We give many thanks to our staff, learners, and families.  We appreciate the great partnership we have developed and welcome all our new families to iLEAD.  
Please follow us, like and post pics and tweets and share with us your adventure at iLEAD Encino.


We also wanted to inform you all that we are being proactive regarding that horrible word LICE. We will have lice professionals at the studios next week to check our learning spaces and all our learners. If you don't want your child checked please email Ms. Kaufman directly.
 
Mrs. Kaufman and Mr. Rios

Carpooling 


In order to help families in need of carpool we have set up a Google form for families interested in carpooling to register. Families also have been given access to view the spreadsheet where all the data is collected. Please contact families in your area to establish carpools. Use the links below to access the Google form and spreadsheet.
 
 
Aftercare 


If you are in need of after care please be sure to sign up with Enrichment Planet. We do not provide after-school supervision once valet is done.
 
Go to: http://enrichmentplanet.com/register/ and click on either ILS or PLS to sign up your learner.
 
Check out Enrichment Planet's flyer.
Lunch Program 


We are thrilled to have Chef Jackie back for another year. This year she has expanded her lunch delivery program to Monday-Thursday and will deliver to both Learning Studios! Please pick up your lunch order form at the office.
Friday Clubs and Teams 


This year we will have several clubs and teams that meet on Fridays at ILS. These include, Speech and Debate, Yearbook, Math Team, Science Team, Student Government, Musical Theatre/Key club, Dungeons and Dragons Club. 


Sign up links for these clubs and teams will go out in next week's Monday Message. All learners are welcome to participate in any clubs or teams available for their grade level. 


Please note that the competitive teams (Math, Science and Speech and Debate) can involve a cost to participants for competitions. Speech and Debate also requires a tryout since space on this team is very limited and highly competitive.

5th Grade

Field Study Overnights!


7th & 8th grade PALI Camp returns!


Our 7th and 8th Grade will be traveling together to PALI CAMP! The 3-day/2-night overnight trip is scheduled Oct 3-5, 2016. The overnight Field Study trip incorporates the seventh and eighth grade standards into an exciting, adventure packed journey!


Pali Institute offers a customized program to suit our school's requirements, providing around-the-clock supervision and instruction, allowing teachers to relax, observe and engage with their students in educational activities. 


What makes the Pali Institute experience unique is the ability for our school to choose classes that best fit our learners' current curriculum. Through our intensively developed program and qualified Outdoor Education staff, your child will gain independence, learn about the world around them and have a fun and memorable camp experience.


Print the form below, fill out, and return to the front office by Sept. 15, as the final count is due the next day. I am unable to adjust numbers after the 15th of September.

Scarlet


New Year, New Focus


Dear iLEAD Encino Families,
 
Welcome to the new school year! I'd like to take a moment to introduce myself and Scarlet Foundation and describe its role in iLEAD Encino.
 
Scarlet Foundation was established by parents to support iLEAD Encino. Our mission is to ensure that all of our learners have the best educational experience possible. We work toward that goal by partnering with the administrators, facilitators and families of iLEAD Encino to develop and support programs, events, and community-building activities that go above and beyond the school's traditional resources. Our ability to help improve our school depend on you and your participation in our activities and fundraisers such as our upcoming Annual Giving campaign.
 
You can read more about Scarlet Foundation on our website, scarletparents.org, and you will find weekly updates from us in the Monday Message. The Scarlet Foundation Board and I welcome your questions and thoughts about how we can best support iLEAD. You can see who we are and reach us through the website or any time you see us on campus.
 
Here's to a great year!
 
Kenchy Ragsdale
President
