Hello Innovation Studios Families!
Welcome! 


We are excited to welcome our new SCVi Innovation Studios guide, Angela Adams DeMoss. She is a credentialed English teacher with years of experience helping independent  learners design their courses to match their interests and passions. Her son is also a learner here at SCVi so she is already a member of the family. We feel extremely fortunate to have found such a perfect match!
Last Week
Learners had a great experience in teamwork, using their wits and problem-solving skills at an 'escape room' in Santa Clarita. It was a room filled with clues, padlocks, hidden keys, boxes with secrets, and cryptic writing on the walls. Participants had an hour to solve the riddles, figure out combinations and successfully navigate to the next series of challenges.   
Upcoming
EDTalk for Parents: 
Join other parents exploring innovative ideas and practices in education. After watching a Ted talk, we'll share thoughts and responses. Refreshments will be provided.


SCVi: 6-7 p.m. Tuesday, September 20
Lancaster: 5:30-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 21 
Parent Collaboration
What is the role of parents in Innovation Studios? As a hybrid program, we have lots of occasions to pull our resources, create new opportunities for learners and grow a program where every member of the community has a voice. This is the beginning of exploring possibilities, including having a better understanding of how you can be a part.


SCVi: 5:30-6:30 p.m. Tuesday, September 27
Lancaster: 5:30-6:30 p.m. Wednesday, September 28
Advisories 


All students are leaders at Innovation Studios. That's why their participation once a week in Leadership Advisory is essential. This is where learners support each other in:
  • Exploring work and helping each other make connections that lead to internships
  • Collaborating on projects that make a genuine difference in the world
  • Creating fun community events
  • Engaging in issues that are urgent and necessary to teens creating more health and well-being for themselves and others
