Greetings Connect K8 Families,

It's enrollment season! Our application for the 2023-2024 school year went live on November 1st! If you have any friends or family members interested in attending a Da Vinci School, spread the word and share our enrollment link!

As a reminder, Learning Logs are a crucial component of our accountability to the state, and how we receive our funding through attendance each school year! Compliance in our Learning Log processes is important for families to understand and complete successfully each Learning Log period. Our attendance through learning logs is audited each school year. Please review this FAQ and this video tutorial to ensure that you are completing and submitting your Learning Logs successfully! For families who have corrections to make in Learning Log #1, please do so immediately. You can reach out to Nancy Waites for support.

We also want to let you know about an exciting FREE online Conference beginning next week, hosted by Happily Family--several of the speakers are former Da Vinci Connect parents, including the hosts and founders of Happily Family, Cecilia and Jason! The conference will feature topics on parenting, mindfulness, and supporting children through a variety of developmental stages and experiences!

Finally, we can't wait to see you and share in gratitude for our community at next week's Fall Festival! See the blurb below for more details.

Take Good Care,

Kaitlin (she/her) and Sage (he/him)
