Monday message 03.09.2020
Dear Families,
Did you survive Daylight Saving Time? Some of you may be extra grateful for flexible learning schedules this week as your bodies adjust to new hours!
March is Arts in Education Month and Youth Art Month, and we’re so thrilled to celebrate all of our amazing learner artists, art-based courses, and artistic staff who make iLEAD Online a rich place to embrace the power of art in education. We want to hear from you! If you’ve taken an arts course with us and want to share a piece of your work to be highlighted on our Facebook and Instagram accounts this month, let us know!
Spring is a busy time for schools. In addition to academic courses, we have mandatory spring testing, college and career preparation for juniors and seniors, and the upcoming academic year to work toward. There are multiple opportunities for you to voice your opinion, get involved, and support our program and your child. Please read this week’s message for more information on what we need from you.
As the season changes and the days get longer, we hope you find time to disconnect from your technology devices and find ways to incorporate what you learn in the real world. We also hope you find ways to express your artistic creativity in your course assignments and projects.
Best,
iLEAD Online Leadership
