Welcome Back, Connections Families!
The Adventure Begins – 2025–2026 School Year
We hope you all enjoyed a restful and fun-filled summer! Now it's time to jump back into learning, exploring, and growing together. Whether you're returning or just joining us, we're excited to have you as part of the Connections Homeschool Program.
This school year brings exciting changes — from new staff members to fresh events and ongoing improvements that will make Connections better than ever.
New This Year: Connections Podcast Menu!
We’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new feature in each newsletter — our Connections Podcast Menu. Every week, we’ll release new podcast content you can enjoy on your own time. We’ve already recorded insightful interviews covering topics like:
-
Pre-K programs
-
Sports opportunities
-
A three-part series with Superintendent Holland discussing how Connections fits within KPBSD
Stay tuned — we’re committed to providing helpful, relevant content to support you on your homeschool journey!
As we kick off the year, I hope to see you in the office updating your ILPs and reconnecting. If you're new to Connections, welcome to the family! We're so glad you're here.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead — full of discovery, creativity, and connection.
Let the adventure begin!
