A required addendum for all archdiocesan schools’ tuition contracts has been issued by the Archdiocese of Denver Office of Schools. It outlines terms and conditions in the event of school closures and online instruction due to COVID. The addendum was released in late May to be included with contracts for the upcoming school year. These need to be completed promptly. Would you kindly use this here to acknowledge and sign the addendum? Save and email the document back to info@svdpk8.com. at your earliest convenience. Thank you to the families that have completed the addendum. We appreciate it!

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 be parent teacher conference days
The Google 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.
