Kindergarten Registration

Kindergarten registration for the 25-26 school year began on January 20th. The registration link will be available until February 7th on our school website. Please contact Courtney Eden at edenc@svdpomaha.org with any questions.

We have some students at SVdP who have skin sensitivities to products such as scented body sprays/mists and hand sanitizers. Please make sure that your children keep their own body sprays and hand sanitizers at home. Students may use the hand sanitizer that is provided for them in the classroom. Thank you for helping to keep our students safe! 

Pizza lunch volunteers still needed

The success of this year’s Pizza Lunch will depend on parent volunteers stepping up to help on the day of the event (January 29). Depending on your interests, you can assist with our check-in table group, greeting and providing tickets to guests or with our lunch helpers group serving meals. A variety of time slots are available, so volunteering will still allow you to enjoy the Pizza Lunch with your own kids. Click here to sign up now. Your generous gift of time is appreciated!
