Message from the iLEAD AV Exploration Director
Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,
State testing begins this week for 3rd-8th grade. Please encourage your child to try their best. Let them know there will be some questions they’ll know and some they may not. And that’s OK! If your child is testing at home, you may want to provide a small reward for taking their time and doing their best. If your child is testing at our campus, we will have a reward there.
Thanks again for all your support.
Have a wonderful week!
With gratitude,
Terri Budke
Director of North LA County Exploration

Message from the iLEAD AV Exploration Director
Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,
This week marks the end of LP 8! Please be sure your learner has completed their assigned work. Remember: In independent study/home study, attendance is granted through the completion of the body of assigned work. We want to make sure your learner is earning their full attendance for the LP.
Next week, May 15, we will begin our CAASPP State Testing. Learners in 3rd grade and up all participate in this yearly assessment. Please let your EF know if you would like your child to test in person or virtually. In-person testing will take place in our classroom May 15-18. Virtual testing will be held May 22-26. Thank you for ensuring your child is registered for their tests. Our goal is 100% participation in order to meet state requirements. Kiddos who come to our classroom to test will get some extra-special treats during testing.
Thanks again for all your support.
Have a wonderful week!
With gratitude,
Terri Budke
Director of North LA County Exploration
