Connections Weekly Newsletter
August 18, 2023
Welcome to our 2023-24 school year. We can hardly wait for you to get here! It is going to be an incredible year of exploration and planning.
We are excited to announce a new addition to our team. Mrs. Katina Dahl will be joining our team to work with freshmen and sophomores. Ms. Peters will have the privilege of working with juniors and seniors again! Jodi Hoffman will keep us all organized and focused on keeping our families informed.
We know you receive so many emails at the beginning of the school year, so we will keep this newsletter short and informative. Remember to review the checklists we have sent throughout the summer to help you stay connected. We will again be sending you a new newsletter each Friday for all things Connections (aka Career and College)!
