​PTO CONNECT
Thank you to everyone who has submitted their information to the PTO Connect. Do not forget, teachers will not distribute a class list, so the PTO Connect is the best way to contact classmates and families. If you have not included your information yet, use the link to connect with the great community at Leonardo da Vinci! Please note, if you have submitted your information in previous years, it is carried forward into the new year. However, if you have a new student at da Vinci, (including younger siblings new to the school) please consider adding your information. The PTO connect is only shared with parents who submit their information. It is never posted anywhere public.
