Always Icecream - Smart Fun

❤️💛💚 Happy Juneteenth! ❤️💛💚

As families celebrate and reflect on this important holiday, this is also a friendly reminder for parents to ensure a break is set in the Parent Portal if you plan to take the day off from school activities.

You can easily adjust your student’s calendar to match your family’s holiday plans and learning schedule. ✨

Wishing everyone a meaningful and restful Juneteenth!

We’ve made a few small updates to the Parent Portal to help simplify navigation!

Here’s what changed:
📚 The Curriculum page now opens by default, so you’ll land right where most day-to-day learning and planning happens.
👤 “Settings” has been renamed to “Account” to better reflect the tools and information located there.
🧑‍🎓 “My Students” is now simply called “Students” - same page, just a cleaner name!
🔑 In the Students tab, the Change Student Password section now appears below Rewards, making it easier to find when needed.

✨ Important note: This update is cosmetic only. All of your settings, student information, and saved data are exactly where you left them.

We hope these small improvements help make your Always Icecream experience even smoother 😊

Are you ready for our June reading challenge? ☀️ Summer is the PERFECT time to experiment with new books and challenges you've never done before!

We wish your family a meaningful Memorial Day as we pause to remember and honor. ❤️ If you'll be taking the 25th off from homeschool learning, don’t forget to ensure a break is set in your Parent Account!

Did you know? Creating an OC (Original Character) isn’t just something students love to do with friends in the Community. It’s a powerful way to bring writing lessons to life! 📖🎭 From practicing descriptive language to building strong narratives, students explore key skills like plot, perspective, and character development along the way.

Want to try it out? Start simple:
Pick a name, decide their personality (brave, shy, funny?), and imagine their world. What do they love? What challenges do they face? From there, learners can use their creativity to write a short scene, draw their character, or create a mini backstory.

Does your child have a special character they've created? We'd love to hear about it! 👇
