DENVER PRESCHOOL PROGRAM TUITION SUPPORT
- Thanks to Denver voters, preschool tuition support is available to all families – regardless of income – who have a child who is 4 years old by October 1 and the family resides in the City and County of Denver.
- The amount of tuition that the Denver Preschool Program will pay on your behalf will vary based on your income information and how many hours your child attends.
- In addition to a reduction in your child’s tuition, the school will receive funding for supplies and equipment, and educational opportunities for staff based on the number of students enrolled in the program.
- We encourage our eligible students to apply. Please go to dpp.org to learn more about the program and complete an application. We suggest that you apply soon!
- The Denver Preschool is also conducting a pilot program to provide support for 3 year old students. This program, however, is based on income eligibility. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please go to dpp.org.
IMPORTANT TUITION NEWS FOR THE 2021-2022 SCHOOL YEAR
There will be a few changes to the FACTS payment program for the upcoming school year.
Please make sure that factsmgt.com is listed as an acceptable email address in your email account.
During mid to late June or early July, you will receive an email from FACTS confirming your tuition amount and payment plan for the 2021-2022 school year. Please review the information carefully to be sure that all of your students are listed with the correct grade levels. Also, please double check the amount of tuition due. If you feel that there is an error in the amount being charged, please email Joyce Haberkorn at jhaberkorn@svdpk8.com promptly!
If you do not receive an email during the time frame mentioned above, again, please email Joyce.
The tuition rates are located on the school website at https://svdpk8.com/index.php/tuition/
If there are any subsequent tuition adjustments resulting from your Parish Affiliation reviews, you will be notified of the change
If an occasion arises during the school year that you’d like to readjust a payment date, etc., please contact Joyce at least 4 business days prior to the scheduled withdrawal date to allow time for the change to be processed..
In the 2021-2022 school year, if any INCIDENTAL BILLING is done for your student (milk program, athletic fees, etc) you will receive an email notification from FACTS indicating the amount due and a due date. You will no longer need to log on to FACTS and authorize a withdrawal. The amount due will be automatically withdrawn on the due date. The due date will always be 10 days or more after the invoice date.
As always, thank you, SVdP families for being so very conscientious and faithful to your tuition commitment during the 2019-2020 school year. Your support makes so many wonderful things possible for our SVdP students.

Gala In the Garden 2.0 and Golf on the Greens
As Sister shared in her Sister Direct earlier this week, the gala was a huge success! We are still finalizing the numbers, but initial revenue shows just over $650,000!! As Sister announced at the event, 15% of all proceeds from the gala will be put into a scholarship fund. This is an amazing kickoff to the fund! We cannot thank this community enough!
From the Gardens to the Greens
The gala was such fun, we know everyone is ready for the next community event! Be sure to mark your calendars for Golf on the Greens on September 19th at CommonGrounds Golf Course. There are sponsorship opportunities and foursomes still available, but they are limited. If interested in more information, please contact Nick Burns burns_irish@yahoo.com.

Sports
SVDP CROSS COUNTRY (“XC”) REGISTRATION
We are pleased to announce that 2021 SVDP XC Team registration will soon be open. Please be on the look out for future communication for registration. Runners (boys and girls) entering into 6, 7, and 8 grades (Fall) are eligible. Runners entering 5th grade will also be eligible based on availability.
SVDP TEAM REGISTRATION:
The Team will compete in 8 meets, including the Colorado Middle School Cross Country Championship. Cross Country has 48 spaces on the Team. We open this sport up to all 6, 7, 8 grade runners. If there are spaces available after the registration deadline (TBD), we will let rising 5th grade students/parents know the opportunity to join the cross country team as a 5th grader. If there are only a few spaces, we will plan a qualifying race to fill as many spots as are open to 5th graders. 5th graders are restricted in competing in some of the races.
Volunteers:
We love volunteers and encourage parent participation at practices and meets. Please consider helping with practices on bikes helping navigate our runners and keep them safe. We will circulate a sign up genius asking for your help and participation in the Fall. We are in need of a Team Manager to assist with the logistics of registering runners for meets etc.
Summer Fun Runs
We will be holding Fun Runs this summer on the High Line Canal once a week in the evenings –more information to follow.
