Message from the iLEAD AV Exploration Director

Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,

Our first week of testing was a success. Thank you to all our families who brought your learners to campus for their testing. The learners were awesome. They had great attitudes, were very well behaved, and put forth their best effort.

This week we will hold virtual testing for our 3rd-8th graders. Thank you for making this a priority for your learners. Our participation rate of 95 percent or greater is mandated by our state. We do not want to be penalized for falling short of the requirements. We appreciate your support.

Have a wonderful week!

With gratitude,

Terri Budke
Director of North LA County Exploration

2023-24 Enrollment!

We still have a few spots available for new learners for the 2023-24 school year. Do you know anyone who would benefit from our program next year? Please invite them to come check us out! Let them know we are offering tours on some Tuesdays at 10 AM. They may register here to attend.

Meetup Info

We will be hosting iLEAD AV Exploration meetups for the next several weeks. We hope you and your family are able to attend! Below are the dates and details for our meetups. RSVP here so we can plan ahead. The address for each location is listed on the sign-up sheet. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to spending time with you and your families and connecting as a homeschool community!

Thursday, June 1: San Buenaventura Mission, 10 AM

Please join us at the San Buenaventura Mission for a guided tour. Learners will discover mission life and view artifacts and architecture. This is a great opportunity to spend the day in Ventura and end your tour with a quick beach stop and lunch! Please sign up here.

Open House Celebration!

We will hold an Open House on June 7 from 4:30-6:30 PM. Please bring your family and any families who may be considering enrolling at iLEAD Antelope Valley Exploration! We are planning lots of fun things for everyone. We will have hot dogs, Kona Ice (for purchase), crafts, water games, eight vendors from our vendor list, and more!

We are asking for donations of single-sized chips and water bottles. If you can supply some, please bring them to our classroom on a Wednesday between 8:30 AM and 4:30 PM, and AdrieAnna will assist you.

Kindergarten and Eighth Grade Promotions!

Mark your calendars for our K and 8th grade promotions! You won’t want to miss this special event on Thursday, June 8, in our classroom.

• Kindergarten: 10:00-11:00 AM
• 8th Grade: 11:30 AM-12:30 PM

Curriculum Return Week

Curriculum return week will be held the week of June 12. Your EF will contact you with a sign-up sheet. Please start locating items from the beginning of the year, if needed. Please return all items. A partly used workbook is still good to have on hand in case a child enrolls late or we need some work for workshop time.

Re-Enrollment Paperwork

Re-enrollment paperwork needs to be completed ASAP through Reg-Online. If you need assistance, please call our office at 661-494-7442 and set up an appointment with AdrieAnna. She will be happy to assist you over the phone or in person.
