Dear Families,

- Wed.-Thur., 8/6-7: New Family Curriculum Pickup
- Fri., 8/8: Popsicles in the Park – Meet Your Facilitator, Rawley Duntley Park

And of course, Tuesday, August 12, is our first day of school! Please watch for an email from your Educational Facilitator (EF), which will contain a Zoom link and all the info you will need to log in and have a brief “class” with your EF. You will be able to log in from any device you may have (phone, computer, tablet, or your child’s Chromebook if they checked one out at curriculum pickup, etc.).
Whether you’re a new or returning family, please be sure to complete your registration documents to ensure your child can join us when school begins on Tuesday, August 12. If you have any questions, please email info.exploration@ileadav.org.
If you have any questions for our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to 661-429-3757 or info.exploration@ileadav.org. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected!
With gratitude,
Terri Budke
