From Your Administrative Team
Greetings Connect K8 Families,

WOW! We are so grateful for each and every one of you for making Exhibition the magical event that it was--we know that there was lots of planning and organizing by everyone in our community, and we are so honored to have been able to offer this event in-person to honor our students and their learning. If you attended in any capacity, thank you! We hope you enjoyed yourself as much as we did!

We also want to share the wonderful news that one of our middle school teachers, Sascha, has had her baby! She welcomed baby boy earth side earlier this week, and both mom and baby are doing well! We wish them all the snuggles and baby love as they cherish this time together as a new family!

Finally, we ask that you please take a few moments to complete the Da Vinci Schools Fall Parent Survey. Your feedback and input about your experience at Da Vinci is important to us! Please complete this survey no later than 12/17. Thank You!

Take Good Care,
Kaitlin and Tami
