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!

Upcoming Events for iLEAD AV Exploration:
iLEAD AV 8th graders took their first glider flights Saturday, April 8!
Tapping into our curiosity about flight, iLEAD Student Aerospace‘s Soaring Aeronautics project answers the question “How do things fly?” and introduces learners to the forces described by Newton and Bernoulli.
Through this project, learners use the engineering design process to fabricate and launch their own gliders, interact with a full-scale glider, learn from glider pilots about flight controls and aerodynamics, and fly a glider!
Preflight training on simulators supports the development of flight and navigation skills. The history of flight, anatomy of birds, current experimental gliders, and meteorology are woven in to extend and enhance knowledge, giving meaning to research and writing.
Special thanks to iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects and to Skylark North for hosting and guiding the learners!

At iLEAD Antelope Valley, all grades (TK-8) have been immersed in aero-related projects at the same time! On April 6, their school-wide Presentation of Learning featured their beautiful work. We’re so proud of the learners for diving deep into their subjects and demonstrating their learning to our community!
Special thanks to iLEAD Student Aerospace Projects for your guidance with this exciting project!
