The Association for Pre-College Program Directors is proud to present the 2021-22 Summer Pre-College Program Fairs, a series of virtual events that provide students and their families the opportunity to learn about academic summer programs at top US colleges and universities.

At each fair, attendees may visit virtual booths, where you can ask questions via text or video chat with summer program representatives.

Registration is FREE to attendees. We invite you to visit the Virtual Fairs website at https://precollegeassociation.org/fairs for complete information on dates, times, and which institutions will be represented at each event.

The next Virtual Fair will be held on January 22, 2022 from 1:00pm to 3:30pm Eastern time.

Registration for the January 22 fair is now open on the Virtual Fairs website. We recommend completing the free registration process for this event as soon as possible, as there may be more students wishing to register than can be accommodated in one fair.

Questions about the event can be submitted to the email found on the Virtual Fairs website.

Representatives from UMass Amherst Pre-College Programs will be at the next event on January 22. We hope to see you there!

Hello Connect Students and Families, and Welcome Back!

The first day of school for EVERYONE is Monday, January 10, 2022.  All classes will be in-person at 201 N. Douglas Street, El Segundo, CA 90245. Please read the entire post for details and helpful links.

First Day of Class

As we prepare for the return to school next week, we are cognizant of the spread of COVID-19, and in particular, the Omicron variant. This update focuses on our return to school Monday, January 10, 2022 for in-person learning for the Monday/Thursday Cohort and Tuesday, January 11, 2022 for in-person learning for the Tuesday/Friday Cohort. (Please note the first day of school for EVERYONE is Monday, January 10, 2022, but for Tuesday/Friday it is an asynchronous school day on Monday, January 10, 2022, please check your email for a Google Classroom invite or the Daily Tracker for your asynchronous assignment). 

 Covid-19 Updates

On January 1, 2022, Los Angeles County Public Health officials issued new protocols for TK-12 schools in a health order and a new exposure management plan to ensure appropriate mitigation strategies are in place during this surge in COVID-19 cases due to the Omicron variant. As we have done throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to carefully monitor and follow all state and local requirements, including the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health protocols for on-campus learning. We will continue to be prepared, flexible and responsive as conditions and County guidelines change. 

 Connect High School On-Campus Learning

The good news for Connect High School and you, our students, is we are already an independent study program and can adjust rather quickly to any changing needs if necessary.   

 At this time, we plan to follow all safety protocols and have all classes on campus at 201 N. Douglas until construction is complete at the new 550 Continental campus where we will continue to hold all classes on campus.   

 If you are unable to attend class on campus due Covid related issues, we will directly apply our independent study program standing and you will complete all assignments via google classroom independently at home and enter your work on your learning log like you would for an asynchronous learning day.   

 If you are absent from your on-campus class or need additional support, you should schedule office hours with your teachers to get clarity about the class and/or receive additional support.  However, please keep in mind, office hours are for specific support with assignments and concepts, teachers are not expected to and will not be re-teaching lessons during office hours so students should come to office hours with specific questions about assignments that have been completed or attempted independently. 

 Our priorities remain to reduce transmission, keep our schools open for in-person instruction, and do so safely.  We will continue to update you as new information becomes available. 

 Please utilize the Daily Tracker and Google Classroom for your daily assignments and communicate with your teachers via email and sign up for office hours whenever you are absent or need additional support.

Dear Connect Students and Families,

We were hopeful for final approval to occupy the new Connect High Campus on Monday, January 10, 2022, for the beginning of our Spring Semester. Unfortunately, the fire inspection has yet to be completed and final signatures allowing for the safe occupancy of our new campus for learning is not yet approved.  The overall timeline is contingent on the successful fire inspection which will be completed on Thursday, January 6, 2022.  We will provide you with an update the following day on Friday, January 7, 2022.

For now, please plan to begin on-campus, in-person learning at the 201 N. Douglas campus. Location and procedures will be exactly as they were for this past Fall Semester.  Drop off is available beginning at 8:30am in front of the gym and classes begin at 9:15am. Lunch will be from 12:20pm-1:00pm and 3^rd period ends at 3:15pm.  Please note, for those of you that have a 4^th period this semester 4^th period ends at 4:10pm.

If you are part of the Monday/Thursday Cohort on campus, your first day on campus will be Monday, January 10, 2022.

If you are part of the Tuesday/Friday Cohort your first school day is an asynchronous school day on January 10, 2022.  Please check your Google Classroom for your first assignment and we will see you on campus for your first on-campus learning day on Tuesday, January 11, 2022.

Thank you all and we are excited to welcome you back!
