Expectations include following assigned schedules with participating in daily live zoom meetings, logging into Powerschool and completing assignments, working independently on research and projects, participating in zoom sessions for live workshops, and watching pre-recorded guided lessons. *Please note that paper-packet learning is not an option this semester. Facilitators will provide support to all families that need assistance with zoom and Powerschool.

If a learner will not be able to attend their scheduled zooms, log onto Powerschool, or complete any project work for a day then we ask that parents report them as absent. Absences can be reported by leaving a message on the school voicemail at 661-722-4287, using the Report an Absence option under "Contact Us" on our website, www.ileadlancaster.org, emailing Registrar@ileadlancaster.org, or informing your learners' facilitator.

Daily absence notifications will be sent to parents via Parent Square whose learners were marked absent. Parents can respond to that notice as well to report the absence.
