Parent Group on Learning Differences
Technology Focus:
Introducing New Literacy Software

Join us as we explore the new suite of software programs for our SFDS students. Nicholas Anton, LRP Teacher, will introduce parents and tutors to SOLO 6 from Don Johnston, Inc.

SOLO 6 is the new version literacy suite of the most popular assistive technology accommodations. These programs have been completely redesigned to be simple to use, yet powerful for students who struggle to read and write. Parents and tutors will walk away from this meeting with basic knowledge of how to use Read:Outloud, Write:Outloud, and Co:Writer. In addition, CDs with installers will be distributed free of charge so you can load programs on your home computers for independent student use.

  • Read:Outloud, elegant text-reader
  • Write:Outloud, talking word processor
  • Co-Writer, word prediction support

All interested parents are encouraged to attend. Please join us!

Cultural Identity Groups
San Francisco Day School has begun identity groups for students (schedule schedule). These optional groups offer a forum for students to discuss, explore, question, and discover their identity through activities, games, literature, presenters, and research.Please join us for a discussion on the importance of Identity Groups and how you can support your child at home on Tuesday, March 23rd from 8:15 - 9:30 in the Library Media Center.

CultureFest Auction Items Needed
Parents are encouraged to solicit items from merchants with whom they do business on a regular basis (merchants routinely donate to valued customers).  Parents should also consider donating home-made objects or personal services.  Time and again, the personal items – home cooked meals, parties, guided hikes- receive the most interest from bidders. Our hope is that every family at the School will donate or solicit one to two items for the online auction. Click here to fill out our online Rockstock Donation Form.
