The Idea Center is a place where I learn about myself and others, use my brain, and be creative each day!

Thanks for making a difference at the Idea Center!

Oliver C.--When another student spilled her water, Oliver independently got paper towels and started to clean up the spill for her without being asked!

Alex R.--Alex held the door multiple times today for all of his LEAP classmates to pass through. Thank you for helping everyone be safe and brightening their day!

Gunner W.--Gunner was super polite and held the door multiple times for the students walking through. This brightened everyone's day!

Many schools host Veterans' Day events in the morning on November 11th. LEAP shuttle buses will still run from the home school to the Idea Center at the standard time (8:45 am). If your child wants to stay for the Veterans' Day events, they will be excused to arrive late to LEAP, but you will need to provide your own transportation! Please reach out if you have questions. Because lunch orders have to be made by 9:30 am, if arriving late on Monday, we encourage you to pack a lunch or call your lunch order in to the Idea Center (314-729-2495). Lunch choices are Yogurt Parfait with Pears or Turkey and Cheese Sandwich.

Please see the flyer above regarding our plan for Veterans' Day--Monday, November 11th. If your child is interested in being in the Reader's Theater encourage them to reach out to me, but I will also be visiting the classes in the next few days to recruit readers. All interested family members and friends are invited. Adults must bring an ID to check in. We suggest arriving a little early or stopping by the previous week to get your visitors' badge. The book fair will also be open before and after this event. Please plan on being cozy--seating will be tight.

Parents, periodically have your child login to Canvas in front of you (or log in as your child) to see what they see. You can see all the assignment instructions, learning materials, and retake information. We encourage you to talk with your child about how they use Canvas to access learning information and manage their work completion. This is a great way to check in to see how they are doing!
