Dear Families,
We are going into Week 2. We hope everyone has had a chance to settle into their courses, connect with their facilitators, and get started!
- 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.
- If you would like a parent or shadow account with PowerSchool, please email us at online.classes@ileadschools.org. This allows you to view all of your learner’s work, grades, and feedback from the facilitator.
- 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. If you are an Exploration family, we know your school year started a week late. We have specialized pacing for you HERE.
- We offer live academic tutoring via chat/video. All learners are put in a live tutor course in PowerSchool. We encourage everyone to get familiar with the tutor page, reach out to our tutor, and set-up an appointment. Our tutor can help with everything from navigating PowerSchool and using Google Docs, to help with classes.
This semester is off to a great start. We are confident each of you will contribute to making our programs full of joy.
With gratitude,
The iLEAD Online team
