Welcome, Connections Families!
The second half of the year always seems to move quickly. I want to encourage all of our homeschool families—both veteran and prospective—to begin thinking about how you want this year to end and how you hope next year will begin.
As we implement a new financial system (ClassWallet) and shift to more efficient communication through PowerSchool and Outlook, interactions between our program and our families may feel a bit different. Please stay engaged with our staff as we work through these transitions together. Your partnership is essential, and we appreciate your flexibility and support.
We are also excited to announce our first graduation ceremony at the new Soldotna Field House. We are incredibly proud of our students and wanted this milestone to be celebrated in a space that reflects how special their achievements are. Graduation is scheduled for May 14th, making Connections the first KPBSD school to hold a graduation ceremony this year. We think that’s fitting, as we are the largest and most student-focused school in the district—though, of course, every principal believes their school is the best!
Welcome to Connections, where we help your family connect your dreams to the future.
Sincerely,
Doug Hayman
Principal

“The best education does not happen at a desk, but rather engaged in everyday living – hands-on, exploring, in active relationship with life.”
