Message from Your Principal and Assistant Principal

Hello, Connect High School Families,


Student Led Conferences have been wonderful!  It is always great to hear students share what their experiences in school are.

Robert and I have had the pleasure to sit in on quite a few SLCs, and to hear how students reflect on their achievements and ways they want to continue to grow has been delightful!


This week is also Red Ribbon Week!

What Is Red Ribbon Week? It is a way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs and celebrate healthy lifestyle choices and habits. We hope to have students show their personal commitment to a drug-free and healthy lifestyle through participation in various activities October 21 - 25th. Da Vinci students will see health related content in class through presentations, have an opportunity to learn how to use the life saving medication Narcan for opioid overdoses, take part in a Free vaccination clinic as a preventative health activity and engage in open dialogues around the importance of healthy choices. 


This year’s theme is: “Life is a Movie. Film Drug Free”. We hope to strengthen anti-drug-use attitudes and norms through sharing information. Please partner with us and discuss this message at home, at the dinner table, at family outings, and with friends and extended family. 


Please see our updated Parent resources at the bottom of this newsletter!


Next week we will return to our regular schedule with grade level advisory at the end of the day.  Please note that Friday, November 1, is a Professional Development Day, there will be NO SCHOOL for students. 

The following Friday, November 8th is our second CLD.  Students are currently signing up !!


Enjoy the rest of your week

Tami and Robert
