eLearning Dates and Information

SVDP Grades K-8 will be entirely online for eLearning the week following Thanksgiving Break and Christmas Break. This allows everyone to travel to be with family and friends during these special holidays, and have sufficient quarantine time upon return so that we do not compromise the excellent start we’ve had to the school year! November 30 – December 4, 2020 as well as January 4 – 8, 2021, the school building will be closed and classes will be conducted online.
