iLEAD ANTELOPE VALLEY NEWS & EVENTS
Dear Families,
Summer is officially here, and at iLEAD AV Exploration, we believe that learning is a lifelong journey that extends far beyond the traditional school year. This summer, we encourage all our learners to explore their interests, discover new ones, and enjoy summer break!
We hope all the dads and father figures in our community had a wonderful day celebrating Father’s Day! Many of you have been instrumental in guiding lifelong learning journeys—whether it was teaching your children to ride a bike, helping them with a challenging math problem, or simply encouraging them to pursue their dreams. Thank you for guiding young leaders to stay curious, adventurous, and open to new opportunities to learn.
We’re looking forward to seeing our families when the new school year begins Tuesday, August 12. Whether you’re a new or returning family, please be sure to complete your registration documents to ensure your child can join us in the 2025-26 school year. 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
iLEAD AV Exploration Director
