Being Prepared for School
Changes in Transportation – If a parent gives their child permission to go home with a different family, they should email info@svdpk8.com with the change or call the front office 303-777-3812. You may email the teachers, but they do not always see emails during the day. For legal purposes, we may not release students with other parents unless we have that information. Thank you!
