Message from Your Principal and Assistant Principal

Dear Connect HS Families,

We hope this newsletter finds you well.  As the school year unfolds please be sure to check your students Canvas account to see how they are doing AND what their asynchronous (at-home) assignments are.  If you did not receive your parent access code to Canvas last month please email Luis at ldiaz@davincischools.org and he will send it to you.

Students should be recording their school work daily in their learning logs.  They can use information from their courses Canvas accounts to fill in what assignments they worked on that day.  For on campus school days, they would write “At School Day”.  In addition to completed learning logs they need to have 3 work samples to turn in with learning logs.  Click here for more learning log details.

We are excited to host a New and Returning Parent Orientation on Saturday, September 17 at 9:30am.  In order to prepare please fill out the questionnaire here.  We want to plan our time with by you sharing the information you would like (and give you a campus tour!)

Have a good weekend!

Tami and Robert

Learning Logs-FAQs click here

An extremely important aspect of our program is how we collect attendance. As a hybrid program, we fall within the category of an “independent study” program and as such, we must provide a record of the learning students do 5 days a week, both at school and at home. 

We do this through “Learning Logs” and every single day students must record their learning! It is mandatory from the state and students who fail to do so lose attendance credit and put our school at risk with funding and state compliance. Thank you for understanding and supporting this important aspect of what we do.

We are thrilled to have a dedicated teacher, Tina Hannouche, assist your students' advisory teacher in tracking student progress and reviewing learning logs.  If you have Learning Log questions please email Tina at: CHannouche@davincischools.org.
