Staffing Changes
Following is a list of faculty/staff who will not be returning to SVDP for the coming school year. A full list of teaching assignments will be published in a later communication. These are being published in case you or your children wish to greet them and say good bye.
Not returning to SVDP:
- Miss Emily Donahue has been our Student Advocate handling the Safe to Tell, Second Step and middle school C4G classes. She has her undergrad in psychology and is leaving to more purposefully pursue here masters degree and license in social work, which she has long wanted to do.
- Miss Adele Tetreault has been our second certified Montessori teacher this year with our very full Montessori classroom. She has accepted another position at a nearby Montessori school.
- The Dominican Sisters have received their assignments. Sister Mary Celeste is returning to Catonsville Maryland to Mount de Sales Academy, an all girls high school in the Baltimore area. (Sister Dominic and Sister Maria Sophia will return to SVDP)
- Mrs. Mary Donelson, an alum, and an SVDP teacher for the past 7 years, has accepted a position at another Archdiocesan school.
We wish each of these great Catholic educators God’s abundant blessings in their transitions and new pursuits, and thank them for all they have given to SVDP during their time with us. Again, full staffing lists will be published in a later communication.
FACTS Tuition Payment Plan 2020-2021 – A New Option
Although we’re all focused on closing the current school year successfully (and bravely!), before families relax and enjoy the summer break, we need to remind you that as always your FACTS tuition accounts will roll over with a first payment due in July for the 2020-2021 school year.
For the coming year, we are offering a 12 month payment plan as well as the traditional Pay in Full, Semi-Annual and 10 month payment plans. The 12 month plan would begin in July with a final payment the following June. If you would like to change your plan to make 12 payments or request a change to the plan you currently have, please email Joyce Haberkorn – joyce@saintvincents.org by May 20th.
Once your 2020-2021 agreements are finalized in late June or early July, you’ll receive an email from FACTS that will reflect your payment plan.
FACTS Family Portal Update
Parent, you can now log into the Family Portal (where you see your child’s grades) and find your financial information to pay tuition and incidental billing payments. This will be under the “Financial” tab.
eLearning Notes
Over the next few weeks, teachers will be closing down their classrooms. Since we have an online classroom now as well, one thing we will be doing is returning your child’s work. This will allow your child to save it in their Google Drive.
How to help your child organize their files to start fresh next year:
1. If your child graduated this year, their gmail account will be closed out. They have work stored in their Google Drive. You will want to help them send their files to a new email address/drive so that they can still access their work in the future. See this video to help you do this.
2. Current SVdP students will want to start fresh next year. One way to do this is to create a file in Google Drive labeled 2019-2020. They can then move all their work from this school year to that folder and not lose any of their work! Please plan to do this during the first week of June. Then, your child will be ready to start in August. To learn how to create a folder in Google Drive watch this link.To learn how to move files in Google Drive watch this link.
