THE WEEKLY S.O.A.R. | 10.05.26

Welcome to another exciting week of learning, growth, and celebration at iPrep! This week marks an important milestone as we prepare to close out our first quarter of the school year.

Quarter 1 officially ends Friday, October 9. We are proud of the progress our Eagles have made and encourage every scholar to finish the quarter strong by staying focused, giving their best effort, and continuing to demonstrate our S.O.A.R. values.

Thank you for the many ways you support learning at home and partner with us each day. Together, we are preparing scholars for independence through excellence!

With gratitude,

Founder & Executive Director

There’s an exciting reward waiting for our Eagles this month!

Scholars are working toward the opportunity to attend our Pumpkin Patch Field Trip on Thursday, October 29 as October’s Eagle Bucks Incentive.

Eagle Bucks are earned when scholars make positive choices, meet school expectations, and demonstrate our S.O.A.R. values.

🦅 Help Your Eagle Earn Those Bucks!

Encourage your scholar to:

💚 Show Service by helping others.

💙 Practice Optimism with a positive attitude.

⭐ Demonstrate Agency by making responsible choices.

💪 Show Resilience by continuing to try.

🦅 Take Pride in themselves, their work, and their school.

As we close Quarter 1, we’re challenging our Eagles to demonstrate Resilience.

Resilience means continuing to work toward a goal even when something feels difficult. It means learning from mistakes, trying again, and remembering that growth takes time.

At dinner, bedtime, or on the ride home each day, ask your scholar:

Then have everyone in the family complete this sentence:

At the end of the week, celebrate how your family kept going, kept growing, and finished strong!

💪 Family Goal: Complete the challenge all five days!

📱 School Menus Just Got Easier!

Families can use the LINQ interactive menu to explore much more than the daily meal selections.

The interactive menu allows families to:

📲 Access Menus On the Go

The LINQ Parent User Guide also includes QR codes on page 2 for downloading the interactive menu app.

This is a great resource for families who want to review meal choices with their scholar ahead of the school day.

Keep those strong school routines going! Families can help by ensuring scholars:

⏰ Attendance Matters: Arrive on time and ready to learn every day.

👕 Uniform Ready: Scholars should report in complete iPrep uniform.

📖 Keep Reading: Build a consistent reading routine at home.

📱 Stay Connected: Check ParentSquare regularly for school and classroom updates.

🎃 Keep Earning: Remind your scholar that positive choices and S.O.A.R. behaviors help them earn Eagle Bucks toward this month’s Pumpkin Patch incentive.

💪 Finish Strong: Let’s close Quarter 1 with our very best effort!

Get those outfits ready! We’ll celebrate healthy choices with four themed days.

Wear your favorite sports team gear!

Dream big and dress for your future career!

Dress up as someone who makes healthy choices!

Remember: The Pumpkin Patch Field Trip is our October Eagle Bucks Incentive. Scholars should continue earning those Eagle Bucks throughout the month!
