THE WEEKLY S.O.A.R. | 11.02.26

Happy November!

As we welcome a new month, I want to take a moment to reflect on the wonderful memories and accomplishments our Eagles created throughout October. From celebrating academic achievements during Eagle Awards Day to promoting healthy choices during Red Ribbon Week and enjoying our Halloween Festival, October was filled with opportunities for our scholars to learn, grow, and celebrate their successes.

November brings a special opportunity to focus on gratitude, kindness, and community. As we continue through Quarter 2, I encourage our scholars to remain focused on their academic goals, demonstrate our S.O.A.R. values, and remember that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference.

This month, we look forward to recognizing our veterans, celebrating World Kindness Day, strengthening family partnerships during Conference Night, and coming together for our Thanksgiving Luncheon.

Thank you for your continued trust, support, and partnership. Your involvement makes a tremendous difference in the lives of our scholars, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve this incredible school community.

Let's make November a month filled with gratitude, growth, and continued excellence!

With gratitude,

Founder & Executive Director

🇺🇸 Wednesday, Novemeber 11 | VETERANS DAY | SCHOOL CLOSED

What a SPOOK-tacular way to close out October! 👻🎉

Our October Eagle Bucks Incentive brought excitement and school spirit to iPrep with our Halloween Festival!

Our scholars worked hard to earn Eagle Bucks by demonstrating positive behavior, making responsible choices, and living out our S.O.A.R. values.

The festival was an opportunity to celebrate their efforts and remind them that great choices lead to great rewards!

We are proud of our Eagles and look forward to more exciting celebrations throughout the school year!

Keep Earning. Keep Growing. Keep S.O.A.R.ing! 🦅

November: A Fresh Start to Earn & Celebrate!

A new month means new opportunities for our Eagles to earn Eagle Bucks!

Throughout November, scholars are encouraged to continue demonstrating positive behavior, academic effort, and our S.O.A.R. values.

⭐ Show kindness and respect to others.

⭐ Follow schoolwide and classroom expectations.

⭐ Demonstrate responsibility and independence.

⭐ Give their best effort during instruction.

⭐ Make positive choices throughout the school day.

Families, continue encouraging your scholar to make every choice count!

Independence Preparatory Academy will be closed Wednesday, November 11, in observance of Veterans Day.

We extend our sincere gratitude to the brave men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

We encourage families to take a moment to recognize and thank the veterans in their lives for their service and sacrifice.

As we begin a month centered on gratitude and giving, we're highlighting our S.O.A.R. value of Service.

Service means helping others, contributing positively to our community, and recognizing that our actions can make a difference.

Our Eagles demonstrate Service when they:

💚 Monday: Tell someone why you're thankful for them.

💙 Tuesday: Complete a helpful task without being asked.

💛 Wednesday: Give someone a genuine compliment.

💚 Thursday: Do something kind for a family member or friend.

💙 Friday: Share three things you're grateful for this week.

At the end of the week, ask your scholar:

Let's remind our Eagles that kindness doesn't have to be big to make a difference!

Check out our menu for the week! 🥗 

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

Every instructional minute counts! Please ensure scholars arrive on time and attend school consistently. If your scholar will be absent, notify the attendance hotline by 8:00 a.m. and provide a written excuse upon their return.

Scholars should arrive dressed in their approved iPrep uniforms each day. Please ensure uniform items meet school requirements.

Encourage your scholar to read for at least 15–20 minutes each evening. Consistent reading strengthens literacy, comprehension, and confidence.

Quarter 2 is underway! Continue checking in with your scholar's teacher regarding academic progress, assignments, and opportunities for improvement.

ParentSquare is our primary communication platform for school announcements, event reminders, and family updates. Please check regularly to stay informed.

Remind your scholar that every positive choice is an opportunity to demonstrate our S.O.A.R. values and work toward exciting schoolwide incentives!

Every Day Counts. Every Minute Matters! 🦅

Beginning this week, iPrep will send home attendance notices for scholars whose attendance patterns are trending in the wrong direction, including frequent absences and tardiness.

These notices are intended to keep families informed and provide an opportunity to address attendance concerns before they become more serious.

📌 Families receiving a notice are encouraged to:

Our goal is to work together to ensure every scholar has consistent access to learning and the opportunity to succeed.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us.
