Message from Your Principal and Assistant Principal

Dear Connect HS Families,


We just have a few reminders and updates for you! 


Our first schoolwide grade update in PowerSchool will take place next week. That means your students' grades will be updated in PS, thus giving you insight into what their grades are. Connect High students have always had (and will continue to have) the opportunity to attend Office Hours with teachers on Wednesday (from 1-4pm). Now students are beginning to receive invitations to Office Hours. These invitations could be around re-teaching a lesson or a specific opportunity to work one on one with their teacher based upon a need their teacher is seeing in class. Parents/Guardians are also copied on these invitations, please encourage and remind your students to attend Office Hours.


Have a great week!

Tami and Robert

LEARNING LOGS

Learning Log #1 Work Samples Due September 17th, completed Learning Log Due Oct. 1st… Message from Tina Hannouche:


Good afternoon Da Vinci Families,  

My name is Tina Hannouche and I am in charge of helping students with their learning logs. You will hear from me throughout the year with reminders for due dates and check ins if your student has fallen behind on their logs. Here is a slideshow that I shared with the students during orientation to help them understand the purpose of the logs, and how to complete them. 

Below are some expectations for the students: 

  • Logs should be completed every day they work from home
  • All 3 classes must be included each day (copy and paste what is assigned on Canvas)
  • Even if a students is absent from in person school, they can still be working from home (that can be written on the logs) 
  • Logs and work samples must be submitted on time

Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have, or if your student is having trouble with their learning logs. 


Best,

Tina
