iLEAD ANTELOPE VALLEY NEWS & EVENTS
Dear Families,
We hope your summer break is off to a spectacular start!
Last week, we enjoyed celebrating iLEAD AV Exploration’s learners as they promoted to the next grade levels! Congratulations to our 8th graders who have promoted to high school. We are so proud of you and will always be celebrating you as you continue your journeys of lifelong learning.
Throughout the summer and into the school year, we’ll be sharing updates through our Monday Message. It’s your best source for learning about our vibrant school culture, staying current on upcoming events, and getting all the essential back-to-school information as we get closer to the new school year, which officially begins on Tuesday, August 12, 2025.
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
