iLEAD Agua Dulce Welcome Back to School

Dear Families,

Welcome back to a brand-new school year! I hope your summer was filled with joy, rest, and memorable moments with family and friends. As we begin this exciting new chapter together, I want to extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to both our returning families and those joining the iLEAD Agua Dulce community for the first time.

On Tuesday, August 12, we’ll open our school gates for families at 8:00 AM, and school will begin at 8:45 AM. Please click here for our bell schedule. Parents and caregivers, we welcome you to join us in the garden on Tuesday for some muffins and coffee at 9:00 AM.

This year, we continue to build on our mission of developing lifelong learners, compassionate leaders, and creative thinkers. Our focus remains steadfast on whole-child development, hands-on learning, and cultivating a safe and inclusive environment where every learner can thrive.

You’ll notice some exciting enhancements this year—from expanded project-based learning opportunities to deeper social-emotional learning practices and community-building events. Our incredible team of facilitators and staff have been preparing to ensure that each learner is inspired, supported, and challenged.

We are also committed to strengthening our partnerships with families, knowing that together we create the strongest foundation for learner success. Communication, collaboration, and celebration will guide us throughout the year.

Thank you for choosing iLEAD Agua Dulce. We’re honored to be part of your learner’s journey and can’t wait to see all the growth, discovery, and joy this school year will bring.

If you have any questions for our team, please don’t hesitate to reach out to info@ileadaguadulce.org or 661-268-6386. And be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay connected.

Here’s to an amazing year ahead!

With gratitude,

Wendy Maxwell
School Director
