Announcements
Please note the following calendar change for coming school year 2020-2021.
October 5, 6, 7 will be regular school days
October 8, 9 will bee parent teacher conference days
The parent calendar is marked correctly
If you have already scheduled a vacation during this time, thinking that it would be a fall break, please do let your child’s teacher know at the beginning of the year. When the calendar was first set, the teachers/staff were going to use three professional development days this week, but we have cancelled (or delayed) those plans. Those three days will need to be inserted into the calendar as non student days, but we think it is wise to see if they could be used strategically should restrictions re-emerge.
Envisioning August 2020 at SVDP
