Have You Filled Out Your 2020-21 Re-enrollment Form from Pathways?

Dear Families,

We recently sent an email via Pathways asking all returning families to complete their re-enrollment forms for the 2020-2021 school year. This requires several steps, and we greatly appreciate you taking the time to complete this process. A huge thank-you to everyone who has completed this process already! If you haven’t yet, please read on and view the video below for more information. Please feel free to contact the office with any questions.

The “Why” of Re-enrollment

One of the primary purposes of the re-enrollment process is to ensure your child’s safety. We’ll send an email from Pathways to collect emergency contact info, including phone numbers and email addresses, as well as information about your learner’s particular health needs that we may need to be aware of. We will also request signatures for forms that must be updated yearly, such as permission for your learner to use technology, a photo release and address verification. 

In July, we will be asking all families to complete the School Nutrition Programs Forms, which help us to provide lunches and receive funding for our school.

How to Use Pathways to Re-enroll

Please refer to the video below for instructions on registering online in Pathways.

Looking Forward to 2020-2021!

Exploring iLEAD Antelope Valley Culture: What’s the ‘A’ in ‘iLEAD’?

Editor’s Note: This is one in a series of articles on the pillars of iLEAD’s educational philosophy and approach. 

“The arts…are all keys that unlock profound human understanding and accomplishment.” – William Bennett

This week, we’re exploring the fourth pillar of the iLEAD acronym: the letter A, which stands for arts. We believe creating and exploring the world through the artistic experience enhances all subject areas for our learners.

We know the arts helps kids unlock their creativity and explore their imagination, but what else is happening when the arts are integrated into the curriculum?

  • Kids develop problem-solving skills.
  • Studies have connected kids’ involvement in the arts with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skills.
  • Art presents challenges to overcome at every age level.
  • Arts-based curriculum can help break down complicated subjects, making them easier to grasp. 

A focus on one subject can have dramatic influence on other areas of learning. A 2006 study by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum found links between studying the arts and increased literacy skills. Another by the Arts Education Partnership revealed that students who study music have increased achievement and proficiency in math. Reading and cognitive development were found to increase, as well. 

Additionally, arts integration plants the seeds for social benefits. A report by the National Endowment for the Arts revealed that students with a low socioeconomic status that have a history of involvement in the arts have better long-term academic, occupational, and social outcomes than their peers.

The benefits of integrating art into learning are practically limitless.

At iLEAD Antelope Valley, learners find a variety of ways to explore the arts, from theater to music to visual arts.

Beyond how arts integration leads to academic and social benefits, let us not overlook one of the other monumental benefits: Exploring art and using imagination empowers learners to create something that makes the world a richer, brighter, more diverse place. 

And that is a great thing. 

Next week, join us as we dive into the final pillar of the iLEAD acronym: Design Thinking.
