Wed., May 24: New Learner/Family Information Night, 5:30-6:30 PM. RSVP HERE.

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

Dear iLEAD AV Exploration Families,

I hope you all enjoyed your spring break and are ready for the last stretch of the school year! We have so many exciting and important things planned for you and your children!

Amidst the fun and meetups, we also have state testing (grades 3 and up) and end-of-the-year MAP tests for all. We understand that testing isn’t fun. I don’t know anyone who likes to take tests. However, it is an important skill to learn and something everyone will encounter at some point in their lives. Testing is so important to charter schools because it is an essential piece of getting our charter renewed. We not only need to achieve at least 95% participation rate, but we also need to show growth over the last year.

We know how hard you and your kiddos have worked this year and are excited for our learners to show their growth. During the next few weeks (during synchronous instruction), your EF will present test-taking strategies and sample questions. This will equip your children with skills to use if they aren’t sure of an answer, and this will also help them become familiar with the format of the test. You can choose to have your child take the tests at our site in person the week of May 15 or virtually the week of May 26. Sign-ups will be sent home soon. Thank you for encouraging your child to do their best and to attend their synchronous instruction over the next few weeks to prepare for their tests. Thank you for helping us ensure the future of our charter!

We still have a few spots available for learners for the 2023-24 school year. Do you know anyone who would benefit from our program next year? Please invite them to come check us out! Let them know we are offering tours every Tuesday at 10 AM. They may register HERE to attend. A virtual TK/Kindergarten Round-Up will be offered on April 24 at 6:30 PM. Click HERE to RSVP.

Have a wonderful week!

With gratitude,

Terri Budke
Director of North LA County Exploration
