📣 Coming to the Boosterthon Fun Run? Skip the line with our new expedited check-in! ❤️🤍💙

Our first big daytime event is almost here! The Boosterthon Fun Run is Friday, September 11, and we're putting our new enhanced security/check-in process into action.

If you submitted an SSDP Volunteer Application by August 26, you can now pre-register to attend the Fun Run:

👉 Click here to RSVP now!

Important: This is NOT a request for volunteers to work the Fun Run! 😊 Think of this as our SSDP version of a Fast Pass or Lightning Lane.

Here's how it works: Applications received by August 26 have been screened and submitted for approval at the September 10 School Board meeting. If you completed an application and plan to attend the Fun Run, fill out the form above. Once approvals are finalized, we'll verify your status and pre-print your event badge.

On Fun Run day, approved volunteers who pre-registered can show their state-issued photo ID, pick up their badge in a separate check in area, and head to the event. 🎉

Didn't submit a volunteer application? You can STILL attend! This pre-registration is only for our expedited check-in process. All other attendees will simply enter through the front office with a state-issued photo ID and complete our standard visitor screening and sign-in.

Volunteer applicants are typically contacted only if they are not approved due to a disqualifying factor. If you submitted an application and would like to verify its status, please call the front office or email Ms. Shannon Pritt at PrittS@santarosa.k12.fl.us.

⚠️ Everyone attending must bring a state-issued photo ID—even if you pre-register and have a badge waiting for you.

We can't wait to cheer on our Primary Patriots! ❤️🤍💙

Dear SSDP Families,

As part of our continued commitment to student safety, we are implementing an enhanced check-in process for large daytime, schoolwide events, beginning with our Boosterthon Fun Run on Friday, September 11.

We know large events can create long lines at the front office as visitors complete the required identification and security screening. Our new process will allow School Board Approved Volunteers to complete that screening in advance and use an expedited check-in process for major schoolwide events.

Think of it as our SSDP “Fast Pass!”

How It Works

If you are a School Board Approved Volunteer, you will be able to RSVP electronically before designated schoolwide events. Our front office staff will verify your volunteer status and pre-print your visitor badge.

On the day of the event, simply bring your state-issued photo ID, stop by the designated area in our main lobby or other separate sign in area to receive your pre-printed badge, and head to the event.

You do NOT have to actually volunteer or work at the event to use this option. Completing a volunteer application allows us to conduct the required background screening ahead of time. You are welcome to complete the application simply because you anticipate attending daytime school events this year.

🚨 Want to be approved before the September 11 Fun Run? Apply ASAP!

Our next School Board meeting is Thursday, September 10, and our school must submit the list of screened applicants to the district by Tuesday, September 1.

Because our staff must have time to process and screen each application before submitting names to the district, we strongly encourage families to submit applications by Wednesday, August 26. Applications received after August 26 may not receive School Board approval until the October meeting.

Completed applications may be sent to school with your child, dropped off at the SSDP front office, or emailed to our school secretary, Ms. Shannon Pritt, at PrittS@santarosa.k12.fl.us.

Please remember that volunteer applications must be renewed every school year at each school where you wish to volunteer. If you completed an application last year, you will need to submit a new one for the 2026–27 school year.

What if I'm not an approved volunteer?

You are still welcome to attend! This new process does not limit attendance at our schoolwide events to approved volunteers.

Visitors who are not approved volunteers, or approved volunteers who did not RSVP in advance, will simply enter through the front office and complete our standard visitor check-in process. This includes presenting and scanning a state-issued photo ID and completing the required security screening.

Fun Run RSVP

We will send the Boosterthon Fun Run RSVP link on Tuesday, September 1 via Facebook, email, and Rooms.

The RSVP will allow approved volunteers to let us know they plan to attend so our staff can verify their status and prepare their badge before the event. RSVPing does not mean you are signing up to work or volunteer at the Fun Run.

Please review the attached graphics for additional details and answers to frequently asked questions. Additional questions about this policy and process can be directed to Mrs. Felins at FelinsL@santarosa.k12.fl.us

We are grateful for our families' partnership as we work to keep SSDP safe, secure, and welcoming for everyone. We love having our families on campus and hope this new process makes attending our special schoolwide events both safer and easier!

Thank you,
S.S. Dixon Primary School
