Family Inquirer
Week of 04/05/21
Greetings ICEF Innovation Families,
We hope this newsletter finds you SAFE and WELL!
Welcome back from Spring Break! We hope that all of our families had a safe, relaxing, and fun Spring Break week. We are excited to welcome you back, as we continue our T3 learning.
This is Parent-Teacher Conference week! Please be reminded that schedules have changed for this week. All TK-2 students, whether Virtual or Hybrid, will attend the morning session only (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday 8:30-10:25 and Wednesday 8:30-9:00). All 3rd-5th grade students will attend the AM sessions only (Monday and Friday 8:30-9:00 and Tuesday-Thursday 8:30-11:15). Some teachers will still hold small groups on Wednesday (TK-2nd Grade) or Monday and Friday (3rd-5th Grade), but these groups will be by invitation only. If your child is invited, please make sure he/she attends. We want 100% participation for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please make sure you schedule your conference with your child's teacher.
For all TK-2nd grade hybrid students, please make sure you bring your children to the campus this week for COVID testing. Testing is available on Tuesday and Thursday from 11:00-4:00. Remember that students MUST be tested, before they will be allowed to be on campus next week.
Be sure to read the Family Inquirer in its entirety. If you have any questions, please reach out to the main office at (323) 290-6997.
Have a FANTASTIC week!

Academics
STEM To The Future: (ICEF Core Values of COMMUNITY, COMMITMENT, and EQUITY)
Our STEM program has exciting lessons to share with the students, but they have to be there to enjoy them. Please take a look at the attached video to find out more about our STEM program and make sure your child attends his/her weekly class.
Lexia & Achieve 3000: (ICEF Core Values of COMMUNITY, EQUITY, and GROWTH)
Students should logon to Lexia (TK-3rd and some 4th and 5th graders), and Achieve 3000 (4th and 5th only) daily. These programs allow students to practice reading and reading comprehension, improving on their skills and being exposed to a variety of different texts to include fiction and non fiction. Make it a habit to ask your children if they are using these programs. You can also see how they are progressing by looking at their accounts or reaching out to their classroom teacher to get a comprehensive report.
Progress Reporting Period: (ICEF Core Values of COMMUNITY, EQUITY, and GROWTH)
T2 is over! It is progress report time. Take a look at the Google Classroom to make sure your child has ALL of their assignments turned in. Teachers will be finalizing grades this weekend. Any assignments submitted after Sunday, will not be counted in the T2 grades. If you have any questions about your child's grades, please reach out the your child's teacher.
