Registration and Instructional Fees for 2021-2022

Thank you for submitting your online student enrollments for the 2021-2022 school year. There have been a few questions regarding payment of registration and general fees. We will bill these fees through the Incidental Fees Billing function in FACTS. Some of you have used this for payment of athletic fees and/or the school milk program during the current school year. Once the fees are processed this month, you will receive an email from FACTS advising you of the amount due and the due date. You have the opportunity to authorize a withdrawal at that time. If authorizations have not been made by the due date, your payment will automatically be withdrawn via ACH after two weeks.

If, after receiving your email, you need to request a change in the withdrawal date, or to make different payment arrangements, please email Joyce Haberkorn, jhaberkorn@svdpk8.com. Any request for an adjustment must be made a week prior to the established due date in order to allow for processing time. Thank you.

Spring Sports

Spring Sports are upon us and the league will be offering Volleyball and Baseball for varsity players. This will 7th and 8th graders only. Spring sign ups will be open March 1st and closed March 8th. Like basketball there will be no late signups!!!!!!!!!

The regular season will start April 12th and will end May 1st. At this time the Ad’s will be doing the schedule so for all club players I will be able to hopefully work around your practice and games. I have zero control over the date, day and times for the tournament but like years past it will most likely fall on a weekend. The tournament will start the week after the last day of the regular season. The season is to be only 6 games as we only have a 3 week season.

Tryouts: Tryouts will be based only if we have to split teams due to numbers. I will let you know after signups if we will hold tryouts. If we have tryouts they will be held on Thursday 3/11 from 3:15 to 4:45 and practice to to begin the following week.

There will be 3 levels 8th grade 7th/8th grade 7th grade

Rosters will be no larger than 12 per team. At this time we are not sure if parents will be allowed in gyms, I will update as we get closer to the season.

Coaches, Like basketball coaches will be a parent or parents of a member of the team. Due to Covid we are not going to have outside coaches come in to coach this year. With a shortened season we are trying to prevent teams to have to quarantine.

Masks for coaches and players at practice and games are required. Any questions, reach out to David Strawbridge at dstrawbridge@svdpk8.com
