Family Spotlight: The Stevens Family
We have been an iLEAD AV family since they opened their doors three years ago, with our two youngest children, a daughter in TK and a son in kinder, attending. We learned quickly that choosing iLEAD AV was, without a doubt, the best choice for our family.
While offering countless workshops (electives), hands-on learning, more individualized support, etc., this learning studio is a no-brainer. For us however, it was more about seeing firsthand the lengths to which staff would go in order to ensure the social and academic success of our children, along with a standard of communication not typical in public schools, and that sold us as lifetime, loyal supporters.
Additionally, our kids have both struggled with physical, developmental and behavioral issues, especially our son, who had appeared to struggle the year prior at his previous school. Once at iLEAD AV, he continued to exhibit difficulties and at times had a hard time following directions and lacked the ability to focus. His facilitator identified the issue and implemented tools and solutions almost immediately, while keeping us well informed. To date, with the help of her facilitators, our daughter has made enormous improvements, and while our son has continued to face additional academic/social hurdles, the amazing staff at iLEAD AV has continuously made him, his sister, and our entire family feel safe, comfortable, and a lot like VIP members of the family.
4th Grade Learners POL: Genetic Traits and DNA
The 4th grade learners were asked to demonstrate how DNA and genetic traits affect their family heritage.
Multicultural Feast Was a Tasty Success
We invited our iLEAD AV families to participate in our annual multicultural feast. Our learners, parents, volunteers and staff had a wonderful time experiencing all different foods from around the world. Thank you to all who helped set up, serve, bring in dishes, and clean up. It was a huge success because of YOU!
Looking Back: Awesome Fall Festival
We had a wonderful fall festival. Thank you to the fall festival committee, our facilitators and our families for coming together to support our site’s fundraising needs.

Traffic Is a BEAST! This Is How We Slay…
Hello parents! We encourage the use of VALET for all drop-off and pickup for safety reasons. Avenue K and 20th West is a busy commerce intersection and we value the safety of our learners! Remember, if you are not using valet, all children should be walked to the front door by their parent/guardian. Learners without a chaperone will warrant a call home.
- No learners will be released without a valet card and proper ID.
- Please always enter our lot via the following directions: driving westbound on K-4 and curving right onto 22nd St West and turning right onto Avenue K then right into our driveway. DO NOT turn left into our driveways and always pull as far to the right (curb) as you can get when using the valet line. PLEASE PULL TO THE CURB WHEN WAITING FOR VALET TO BEGIN. STAGGERING PICKUP PREVENTS A BACKUP DOWN AVENUE K. Blocking traffic is illegal Please DO NOT park in VET parking lots — your vehicle will be towed.
- Be very mindful when choosing where to park when visiting our campus for any reason. If you need to drop off your learner and valet is over, please park and walk your learner in. Learners without a parent cannot be properly checked in late.
- Please do not double park or pull up and let your learner out in front of the school, ever. It is very dangerous.
- Please remember that our neighbors are very supportive of our site — despite the impact we have on their daily operations — and that all of our neighbors love iLEAD. Let’s show them the same support by parking in iLEAD parking lots ONLY or the marked green approved area on the map, as well as not blocking driveways and always yielding to our neighbors when using valet.
If you need clarification as to where to park please ask ANY iLEAD employee. PLEASE REMEMBER THAT TURNING LEFT INTO THE VALET ENTRANCE AND OUT OF THE EXIT IS A HAZARD TO BOTH YOUR VEHICLE AND OUR LEARNERS. IT IS ALSO A TRAFFIC PATTERN DISRUPTION and may warrant a citation from law enforcement who frequent our valet area.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our learners and your vehicles safe!
Healthy Food Policy
Learners will be more active and exerting much more energy outside. With that said they will need refreshing fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and as much water as possible. We’d like to share with you our health and wellness policy to reference and support you and your learners in making good food choices for nourishing the body and mind.
Please keep healthy choices in mind when packing snacks and lunches for school. Thank you for helping us support your learner!
About Those Heelys…
We’ve seen an influx of Heelys on campus. Learners are zipping along the halls and on the play spaces. While we LOVE fun and seeing our learners enjoying themselves, we have to ask that they don’t use the wheels while at school. Please understand this is a safety concern for learners and staff. We want to prevent accidents and keep everyone safe. Heelys brand shoes can be worn, — just please remove the wheels for school.
General safety guidelines also include no skateboards or bicycles being ridden on campus; they must be carried and walked.
Thank you for your understanding and support!
