Connect Charter Family Weekly Update

This Year’s Theme: Challenge Accepted! 

• It has been an eventful week, with Welcome Assemblies, morning parent coffees, food trucks and Meet the Team, and our first whole-school assembly of the year — complete with the annual teacher skit!
• We also welcomed our new bus drivers and reviewed safe and respectful bus practices with students on each route.
• We have lots coming up over the next few weeks. Our leadership team strives to make these weekly updates accurate, concise, and easy for families to access.
