Message from the iLEAD AV Exploration Director

Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,

I hope you all took time to reflect on Memorial Day. We honor our military family and friends who made the ultimate sacrifice. Peace to those left behind. We have almost wrapped up our state testing. If your learner was not able to test one of their days, please make arrangements with your EF to have a make-up test this week. Thank you for helping us reach our goal of 100% participation!

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 whole family and any families and friends! 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.

California Science Center Invitation: June 6 or June 10

California Science Center is looking for families with 9-13-year-old children to come spend one hour there on June 6 or June 10. They’ll provide complimentary parking, a $20 gift card, and general admission to their exhibits as a thank-you for participating. Interested families can sign up using the link on this flyer.
