Dear Families,

Can you believe it? Another school year is upon us! Our staff is excited to be back, and are ready for another successful school year. We hope everyone had a wonderful summer, and you feel recharged and ready to start!  

To our learners: We want you to know how much we care about you at iLEAD Online. You’re the reason we come to work every day. You matter to every one of us, because learners are the heart and soul of our school. We hope that you know how special you are and just how much potential you hold.

To our families and parents: You are just as important. Without you, we could not reach our full potential as a school and online program. We value you and your opinions. We take to heart the feedback you give to us every year so we can improve and grow. 

By now, you should have all received login instructions and your orientation course and academic coursework. Our online facilitators are ready for you to begin work, if you have not already. 

A few important details: 

1. Please reach out if you feel stuck, frustrated, or lost. We are here to help you. Emailing online.classes@ileadschools.org is an easy and fast way to get support.
2. If you would like a parent or shadow account with Brightspace, please complete this form. 
3. View our pacing guides by clicking HERE. We value flexibility at iLEAD Online, and we’ve provided several options of how to pace learning this semester and still finish on time. 
4. We offer live academic tutoring via chat/video. All learners are put in a live tutor course in Brightspace. We encourage everyone to get familiar with the tutor page, reach out to our tutor, and set up appointments for tutoring. From everything to navigating Brightspace, using Google Docs, to help with classes, this is a great option for extra support for all grade levels. 
5. New to Brightspace? Here is a helpful get started Guide 

This semester is off to a great start. We are confident each of you will contribute to making our programs full of joy. 

Looking forward to a great year, 

The iLEAD Online Leadership Team
