Announcements

Urbi et Orbi: Pope Francis will be giving an address to the world tomorrow – Friday 3/27/2020 – at 11:00AM Mountain Time.  Please stream in early as there will be high internet traffic for this.  There will be a time of prayer, possibly an address, and then a blessing for anyone who is gathered virtually.  The Urbi et Orbi is an address to the world that is usually only given twice each year.  This is an extraordinary address.  Gather your family round (EWTN possibly, or the link below)

ParentWeb Grades

Just a note, grades will not be visible or updated in the teacher’s grade books for 3rd trimester for a few days.  We are in the process of integrating Google Classroom and FACTS Information systems.

eLearning Notes

All technology questions and challenges should be emailed to elearning@svdpk8.com.  This includes any hardware issues, resetting Google passwords, or not accessing live sessions for a class; figuring out your device.  Please do not call the Front Office for these issues, just send an email and we are reaching out to you as soon as possible. Teachers will forward your technology-related questions to this email for timely response.

Remind your child that when they finish an “assignment” in Google Classroom to go back and mark as “done” in their class so that it allows the teacher to see it as completed.

How to reduce internet drain at home

• Turn off wifi not being used on no necessary devices (phones, xbox, tv, etc.)
• Google Classroom is a “closed environment” to protect students.  Students can only log into a class if they are logged in with their svdpk8.com account.  (If non svdpk8 google accounts are open, they are overriding the student account)

AR is up and running in your home during school hours

Important Tuition Information

Call for help – making calls for the St. Vincent de Paul Parish

Fr. Hilton could use some parents to make calls to parishioners. He simply needs people to call families on his behalf to see how they are, if they have any prayer requests, or urgent needs, and if they have been receiving his Flock Notes. If you are willing – please email Margie Burns and we will get you a list of parishioners to contact. Thank you!!!

2020 Gala in the Garden: *NEW* Save the Date

That’s right, all, we have a new gala date and it is May 29, 2020. Same place, same time, and more reasons than ever to connect. We are optimistic about our opportunity to celebrate our great community in person, but ask that folks hold off on purchasing tickets until you see a new announcement to do so in mid April.
