Congratulations everyone!! We've completed our first month of the 19/20 school year.


We're just starting to get all of the wonderful field trips planned out and this Tuesday at 10am many will be opening for booking! Also we have several pumpkin patch opportunities over the next few weeks, be sure to see the dates and details below.


Many of you have reached out to us about Picture Days! We have a few more coming up. Be sure to see the information below and sign up.


Have a great week!

Did you know the newsletter is one of the best ways to keep up to date on all that's going on in the Inspire San Diego Community?!


With so much growth and so many changes, there's a lot going on! Each week we work hard to bring all of those events and details together in one place so you can stay informed. Picture days, field trips, special events, school dances, parents night out, etc. ... you'll be able to find all of those details in our newsletter each week.

OSP Update!


Hello, Inspire Families!


Thank you for your remarkable patience while we worked through the implementation challenges with our Online Subscription Package (OSP) this year. We are truly sorry delay of several subscriptions as well as the frustrations those delays have caused you and your students.

The good news is that all of the subscriptions are working; hooray! For those who requested TutorMe, the subscription will be available on Monday, 9/16. We will send an email with login instructions (please be sure to check your spam folder).

Unfortunately, some of our families are still experiencing difficulties accessing their subscriptions or need a little assistance in understanding how Clever works.


We're here to help!

Although we are working diligently to answer the backlog of thousands of emails, a video explanation or demonstration is oftentimes far more helpful. Therefore, we are hosting office hours for both teachers and families to provide live support and help answer questions, concerns, troubleshoot, and much more!


Following is our office hour schedule for Monday, 9/16 - Thursday, 9/19

Our First Vendor Fair Was a Hit!!

If you didn't make it out to our first vendor fair, we have another opportunity coming up on Monday, September 23 in San Marcos!


What a fabulous event this was! We had over 60 vendors in attendance. From martial arts and music to fencing and falconry ... it was great! Our enrichment department was on hand to process product orders and families loved being able to take their favorite items home with them the day of.


Don't miss out on the next Vendor Fair! The Madden House, Moxie Box, Bookshark, and Usborne Books will be there ... just to name a few. Click on the flyer below to RSVP.
