Support iLEAD Antelope Valley with Box Tops
Did you know you can help iLEAD Antelope Valley and provide additional resources by just doing the things you’re already doing every day?
We call this “passive fundraising.” You can support us through BoxTops for Education! See below for details to make sure your purchases make a difference!
Free Breakfast and Lunch for All Children
We are excited to provide free meals through the Summer Seamless Program. We are providing meals for all children up to 18 years of age at no charge. You do not need to be an enrolled learner in order to receive free meals. Each child will receive one grab-and-go breakfast and lunch Monday through Friday except on school holidays. Good news! Each Friday we also serve free grab-and-go meals to take home for Saturday and Sunday as well. Children need not be present to pick up.
While our site is closed, school meals are grab-and-go with minimal contact and may not be consumed on-site. Breakfast and lunch are served together at the front gate (2110 W. Avenue K, Lancaster, CA) Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 11:00 AM. For your protection and ours, please wear a cloth face covering when picking up meals.
Please make sure to continue to fill out the Multipurpose Income Form, as this will help to establish your eligibility for when this program stops, and will also help our school in many other ways. This form needs to be filled out for every learner and submitted each year. The deadline has been extended to December 1. It can be submitted in a variety of ways. You can fill it out via a fillable PDF (attached) and email it to betty.lara@ileadav.org, fill out a paper form (attached in English, attached in Spanish) and drop it off at the front office, or — in our newest, completely digital way — you can complete it via the My Mealtime online platform. This new option ensures the confidentiality of your form and can be done from home. Please see the attached instructions (here and here) on how to access this option. Please email all forms (by December 1) and any questions to betty.lara@ileadav.org.

Webinars: Virtual Safety During Distance Learning
Now more than ever learners are at home alone for hours on end working tirelessly behind a screen. During this time, they have unlimited access to the internet. Even with safety controls being implemented, parents have reached out on multiple occasions only after discovering that their child is engaging in sexting, sharing nude photos, accessing pornography, communicating with strangers, partaking in or being a victim of cyberbullying etc. Parents are also reporting an increase in anxiety and depression in their children at an alarming rate. iLEAD’s Student Support Counselors have created guidance lessons geared toward elementary, middle, and high schoolers. Included are discussion and reflection questions that can help facilitate meaningful conversations.
A parent/facilitator-geared virtual safety presentation was provided during this year’s Student Support Symposium on October 13. We’ve included the webinars here for you.
