Greetings Connect K8 Families,

We hope you have a relaxing and sunny weekend!

Instead of sharing an abundance of information with you in our message this week, we want to give you a final reminder that your Independent Study Enrollment Agreement (ISEA) must be signed by you AND your student no later than September 16th.

Thank you for ensuring your compliance with this mandatory aspect of our independent study program.

Take Care,

Kaitlin and Tami

If you are a family who needs to borrow a chromebook for your student, you can complete this Request Form. If/When a chromebook becomes available to you, Kaitlin or Tami will reach out with next steps. Please know that we have a limited supply of chromebooks available for distribution, so only complete this form if it's a true need. Thank You!

We are so excited that the state of CA has announced that school meals (breakfast and lunch) are FREE for all students! You can drop your student off at Connect on their school day for breakfast as early as 8:45 am. You can browse meal menus HERE.

If your child has a dietary restriction, please complete this form and submit to our front office.

If you are in the Remote program or would like to take advantage of free meals on your homeschool day, you can pick up lunch (and breakfast for the next day!) at 201 N. Douglas St. from 11:00am-11:30 am every weekday!

We are so excited to welcome back spirit days for students! Spirit Days will now coincide with our Annual Events, and our first spirt day will coincide with our Multi-Cultural Fair!

Your student can dress in any way that honors their cultural heritage or another part of their identity! Please be mindful of spirit day choices and help your child dress in a way that represents THEM (not a cultural or part of their identify with which they do not identify)

We can't wait to see you at our Multi-Cultural Fair! If you plan to attend and would like to participate by sharing a homeschool project, adding a yummy treat to our international food tasting potluck, organizing a craft or activity, or adding to our event in any other way that celebrates the many beautiful cultures represented in our community, sign up HERE!

Feel free to direct any questions to Jahmal at jdurhamn@davincischools.org
