🚧 UNDER CONSTRUCTION for the 2026-2027 School Year 🚧
If you're brand new to iLEAD, getting started can be very overwhelming. Your Educational Facilitator (EF) is here to help you through each step.
New families are encouraged to visit the iLEAD Family Orientation Website.
Here are some tips from parents who were brand new in the past...
Stay on top of communication with your EF and don't be afraid to ask questions.
Take one step at a time and be patient with yourself and your child.
Use this year to build a love for learning through daily life, books, play, games, socialization, music and movement.
Take advantage of TK SIT (Synchronous Instruction Time, or daily live instruction via Zoom) and the resources that go with each week.
Once you hear from your child's Educational Facilitator (EF), you will work together to complete the following tasks, one step at a time...
Get to know each other and go over important information to get started
Sign documents to complete enrollment
Discuss options and opportunities for learning
Determine what will be used for learning, which could be...
