Dear iLEAD Online Families,
A warm welcome to all our new families! iLEAD Online is growing, and we want to take a minute to welcome each of you, whether it be a welcome back or welcome for the first time. We appreciate your trust in us to provide an excellent educational experience.
For those who are new to online learning, know that it takes some adjustment. It’s a different skill set. Please let us know if we can help support your family and learner in any way as you adjust. We’re here to help you transition and thrive. Please reach out to your academic coach or facilitator if you’re ever struggling or feeling lost. We promise that routines and courses get easier, so stay with it!
For those of you who are seasoned pros, we want to challenge you to try a new skill. Perhaps you’ve been meaning to learn how to create a podcast for a course project, or you really want to learn how to manage your email with tags and folders. We want to encourage you to also reach out to your peers in your classes to offer your support.
Shoutout to all of you for staying curious and engaged in the learning process! As lifelong learners, our staff are always exploring, discovering, and sharing new tips and tricks, resources, and ideas for enhancing what it means to teach and learn virtually.
We have an exciting spring semester planned for you! If you haven’t registered for courses yet, check out our expanded course catalog. Our CTE options are growing, and we have some great industry experts as course facilitators. It’s also not too late to join an Advanced Placement Semester B course or try that Mindfulness course you feel you’ve been needing!
Starting in February, full-time iLEAD Online families will receive their own newsletter twice monthly. Our part-time learners and school partners will receive a quarterly update and occasional updates throughout the semester. We welcome your feedback on our new format starting next month!
Thank you for being partners in learning with us. We are here to support your success!
The iLEAD Online Leadership Team
