SVS Curricular Materials: Image of DVDs and workbooks

The SVS program uses the PASO A PASO text series. Curricular materials may be purchased from your state book depository (if you have one), directly from the publisher, or from used textbook companies. An order form listing the publisher’s address and phone number is available on the SVS Curricular Materials order form.

Previous SVS participation

Schools that have previously participated in SVS should already have some or all of these materials. The only consumable items are the two workbooks that need to be replaced annually. You will need to order one each of the two workbooks for each student enrolled in the course.
Note: If you have more students enrolled in either level this year, you will need to inventory your textbooks to see how many you have on hand. Please check to see which items you already own to avoid duplication.

Timely ordering is critical

Following the syllabus keeps your school on schedule with the SVS High School Spanish program and ensures a higher student success rate. It is crucial all materials be ordered and received prior to the first day of class. For each student enrolled in Spanish I or Spanish II, participating schools must order the respective materials directly from the publisher, or other source.

SVS policies

SVS High School Spanish DVD

Can my school keep the DVDs?
The binders of DVD videolessons are the property of the Division of Continuing Education at Kansas State University and are to be returned at the end of the school year. If DVDs are not returned, schools will be invoiced a $500 media replacement fee.

Can I copy the DVDs?
The instructional content of the videolessons is protected by copyright and may not be duplicated.

When should my school be ready?
Participating schools must be ready by early September, with all essential equipment in place and operable. Schools that do not acquire all the necessary curricular materials and equipment by this date, delay the overall success of the SVS program.

What if I need to cancel the course?
Participating schools have the right to cancel SVS High School Spanish courses until mid-September. Schools will be responsible for full tuition if participation is cancelled after the published September deadline.

Can I drop or add students?
Participating schools may drop or add students in the Spanish course until the mid-September deadline. SVS must be notified of any enrollment changes by that date. If a student drops after the deadline, the school will be responsible for the full tuition fee invoiced. Spanish I and II are full-year courses. Students cannot be added during the middle of the school year, with the exception of a transfer student who was enrolled in Spanish at his or her previous school. If a school wishes to add a student after the mid-September deadline, permission must be received from SVS. There will be an additional charge for any students added after the billing date.

Billing
The DCE will process invoices on September 17, 2010, according to the number of students enrolled and verified in each course. Please do not send payment before this date. Refund for an overpayment may take time to process. The billing procedure is as follows:
