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.

Travel Quarantine
Just a reminder that if you are traveling via airport, out of state or staying in hotels during school time, please review our COVID 19 Return to School Guidelines sent out at the beginning of the year for quarantine upon return. It is important to keep our school safe.

WALKING WITH PURPOSE (WWP)
The 2020 Virtual Home Edition! What is WWP, you might ask? This is a no judgement zone, Catholic Bible Study for any woman who is interested in studying God’s Word. This year, Kathy Quintana will once again be our small group leader, and she welcomes anyone who has already participated in WWP or who is new to it.
For those of you new to Walking with Purpose (WWP)… here is a 3 ½ minute video to introduce you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCiSB6F2Fes&feature=youtu.be
This year will be different – from a meeting format point of view:
Weekly meetings will be held to 1 hr at the most
We will meet virtually – from the comfort/convenience of your home. (You don’t have to be on camera if you don’t want to be – but I would LOVE to see you!)
Virtual means… this does NOT have to be limited to SVDP parishioners or even this city or state. Do you have sisters, friends and mothers you want to invite…feel free!
Please email Kathy, KQDenver@gmail.com if you would like to join this wonderful program this year. In the email, please provide the following information, which will be used for Zoom meetings set-up: Name, email address for Zoom, phone and time of day.
