SVDP School

Hello SVDP Community,

We are fast approaching the last day of school! This newsletter is full of information about fundraising, events, and activities.

The entire staff of SVDP wishes to thank every parent and their Parent Guild representatives for a wonderful week of treats and recognition in honor of Teacher Appreciation Week.

Who will win?

Join us for our Livestream Monday morning, May 17 at 8:30AM. Use the link below.

We are also pulling the lucky winner of the Free Tuition Raffle during the same Livestream.

In conjunction with our Luxury Car Giveaway, we are hosting a Fund-A-Need in support of our middle school retrofit and revitalized STEM + Art space. You can participate at any level. Families that contribute at $2,000 or more will be recognized on a plaque in the new space.

This diagram depicts the middle school retrofit work that will be completed over the summer.

Thanks so the Kindergarten - 4 grades for contributing over 700 sandwiches the MSC Shelter n May 11th.

Each class will have their own Field Day; the schedules / locations vary by class. Look for your specific information on SchoolSpeak.

All students are expected to adhere to the Field Day Dress Code list below:

Overall: all clothing must be in good repair, clean, and fit appropriately.

Shirts: Plain short sleeve or long sleeve tee shirts or sweatshirts without logos are graphics are allowed. Shirts must fall past the waist.

Pants: Jeans and khakis are allowed. Non-athletic shorts / skorts are allowed but must touch the knee.

Shoes: Students are allowed to wear their school shoes or an equivalent athletic shoe.

(Reprinted from 4/23/21) Please note, for the 2021-2022 school year, we will no longer have early dismissal on Wednesdays. Mondays we will release at 12:45 / 1:00. There will be no lunch service on Mondays.

As of now, we are planning to host extended care every day when school releases. Again, our plans are completely dependent on the city's COVID status and SFDPH regulations.

The Advisory Board and the Administration know that our amazing families are the best spokespeople for SVDP. To remain competitive in the San Francisco school marketplace, we must attract families that share our educational standards, values, and sense of community. For these reasons, the Advisory Board is pleased to announce a Family Referral Program.

Beginning July 1, 2021, if you recommend a family that accepts enrollment and pays all their fees, incidental charges, and tuition through October for the 2022-2023 school year, the Finance Committee will apply a $500 credit to your FACTS account in October 2022. You will get $500 for each successful referral, with a max of three referral credits. Only one SVDP family may claim a referral. The FACTS credit must be used towards tuition, not incidental charges. When a family applies, they should include the name of the referring family on their application. Online applications have been updated to include this information. The referring family does not need to write a letter of recommendation to receive the credit.

PILOT PROGRAM

Before this program launches in July, we are offering a pilot initiative beginning immediately. From now to June 30, 2021, if a current family refers an incoming family to attend in Grades 1 – 7 (for the 2021-2022 school year), the referring family will receive a $500 credit in October 2021, contingent on the applicant accepting enrollment and paying all fees, incidental charges, and tuition through October 2021.
