Dear Families,
We’re looking forward to Back to School Night on Monday, September 15! We are excited to welcome you to learn about personalized, project-based learning at iLEAD Lancaster. Please also remember that Monday is a minimum day, and learners will be dismissed at the same time they are dismissed on Fridays (noon).
Core Values
This week, we also want to draw attention to our Core Values. At iLEAD Lancaster, we are very intentional about the quality of education our school provides and the environment in which we choose to work. Our Core Values shape our work as we serve your children:
- Solution oriented
- Inclusive collaboration
- Commitment to excellence
- Servant leadership
- Integrity
- Empathy
Our Core Values focus this month is inclusive collaboration:
- We work respectfully with others toward a common goal.
- We communicate effectively, listen actively, and appreciate the perspectives and ideas of others.
- We seek mutually beneficial solutions and consider one another when conflicts arise.
- We recognize the strengths of our team members and leverage these for the benefit of our school and community.
We’re honored to work alongside our wonderful families at iLEAD Lancaster to model these values for our learners.
If you have any questions for our team, please reach out to info@ileadlancaster.org or (661) 722-4287. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected.
With gratitude,
Deborah Autrey
School Director
