Parent Handbook
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
On behalf of our entire faculty and staff, it is my pleasure to welcome our new and returning families to what is sure to be an incredible school year. We are proud to be a "people-first" community, where prioritizing a strong sense of belonging for every student is our foundation. This handbook is a guide, designed to give you clarity and confidence in our shared expectations as we work together to ensure your child feels supported, seen, and appreciated every day.
We approach this new year with great pride, building directly on the multitude of successes we achieved together in 2025-2026. Together, we made ILC a leader in BUSD, achieving the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the district. This historic achievement is a testament to the power of our partnership and your dedication to your child's education. Our students also excelled in the classroom, as evidenced by the stellar, accelerated academic growth shown on District and state exams.
Looking forward, we are excited to strengthen our essential partnership with parents to benefit all students. Our commitment to you is an emotionally and physically safe learning environment, rigorous instruction, and a caring environment where we help every child meet their full potential. We look forward to inviting you to collaborate in family nights, volunteer opportunities, and school events, as we commit to ensuring this school year is the best one yet for your child and your family.
With gratitude,
Mr. Platis, Principal
