Dear FVS Families,
I hope you are all well. This is an update on our work to ensure that all international students have confirmed safe options for Spring Break if they are unable to return home. Many of you have made plans for your child to stay with a family member or friend within the U.S.; however, if you are in need of assistance, we have put together three options for your child during Spring Break including remaining on campus.
Please read through these options to determine which best fits your needs and reply to this email by Friday Feb. 14 at 5pm MST with your preference or any questions that you may have.
Option 1
Envoys is an educational travel agency that we have partnered with on interim trips. They have designed two trips specifically for international students who are unable to travel home for Spring Break. The deadline to register for these trips is February 15th and all costs will be paid by families directly to Envoys.
Option 2
A number of domestic Fountain Valley School parents have also offered to host students who are unable to travel home for the break. Some of these families are in Colorado Springs and others are in locations that will require a domestic flight. We are happy to connect you with these families to plan logistics if you are interested in pursuing this option.
Option 3
The FVS campus will remain open during Spring Break for the full two weeks. We have not determined an itinerary, but we will have staffing, dormitories and dining services available. We hope to build a relaxing and engaging itinerary of activities on- and off-campus that will best serve students.
The all-inclusive cost for students to remain on campus for Spring Break between March 14-29 is $2500.00 per student. This cost includes housing, transportation, on-campus meals in our dining hall, and all activities; however, during day trips, students will need to use their own money for food, snacks, and miscellaneous items.
Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you have any questions or if I may be of assistance with planning.
