iLEAD AV Exploration iSUPPORTWhat is iSUPPORT?

A community of family volunteers who support our school. We may call on iSUPPORT members to volunteer in the classroom, help with curriculum collection and checkouts, assist with family events, be a welcoming committee to new families, advertise for us by word of mouth in the community, assist on field trips, be a resource to new homeschool families, or help with planning of special events. iSUPPORT also helps to keep families updated on what is taking place within our iLEAD AV Exploration family. It is a great way to connect with each other. We value our volunteers!

Save the date! We will be holding our first meetup on Wednesday, October 2, at Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark. Homeschool families from our other iLEAD schools will also be in attendance. Come join us from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM and bring a picnic lunch! The cost per individual attending is $17. Learners enrolled with us have the option to use their vendor funds or pay out of pocket. If you would like join us for this trip, please register here.

If this trip is too far of a drive, keep in mind that we also have our meetup at Gilchrist Farm in Santa Clarita at the end of October. This is a similar trip but a smaller version.
