Dear District Partners,

I’m excited to share important news about the future of Elevate K-12.

Elevate K-12 is officially joining forces with Fullmind Learning to expand our shared mission of ensuring every student has access to high-quality, certified teachers. Moving forward, the combined organization will operate under the leadership of Ysiad Ferreiras, the current CEO of Fullmind. I will support him and his team to bring two mission-driven teams committed to solving real staffing challenges with real instructional expertise. You can read more details of our announcement here.

What does this mean for you?

First, you will get access to expanded capacity. Together, we can serve more subjects, more student populations, and more flexible use cases across core, Special Education, ELL, supplemental, and enrichment programs. You’ll have access to a broader bench of certified teachers and solutions designed to meet evolving district needs.

Second, we will offer increased stability and scale. By combining resources and infrastructure, we are strengthening the long-term sustainability of the LIVE teaching model you rely on and creating opportunities to further enhance teacher quality, coaching, technology integration, and program support.

Third, you can rely on our continued partnership. Both Elevate and Fullmind believe virtual instruction should feel like a true extension of your schools. Our commitment to aligned curriculum, seamless district integration, certified teachers, and measurable student outcomes remains unchanged.

What will not change is the consistency you’ve grown to trust. Through the rest of the school year, your programs, teachers, points of contact, and day-to-day support will remain steady as we move through a thoughtful integration process. Students will continue to experience engaging, synchronous instruction that looks and feels like every other classroom. In the next weeks and months, we will also be engaging with you to start planning for the next school year.

For more than 700 districts nationwide, Elevate has delivered remarkable LIVE teaching that protects instructional time and advances student success. We are proud of that track record and energized about what comes next.

This next chapter allows us to expand our impact while staying grounded in what has always mattered most: certified teachers. Live instruction. No compromises.

Thank you for your continued partnership and trust. We are excited about what we will accomplish together.

Best Regards,

Piyush Lumba
CEO, Elevate K-12
