Dear Parents, October 4-11,2019

Thanks for returning permission slips and money for our field trip to the Pumpkin Patch on October 17th. Please send in monies and permission slips if you have not already done so. Thank you to those who have volunteered to drive or chaperone. Drivers will receive a form to complete so please be sure to complete it and return and submit your car insurance and driver’s license information. As stated last week, all parents who volunteer to accompany us must complete the online course for parent volunteers. You can find it at virtus.org. Our Pumpkin Patch tour is at G and M Pumpkin Patch in Livermore. We will eat snack here at school before departing and eat lunch at the pumpkin patch.Drivers and chaperones will be notified and will receive further instructions on when to arrive. Please pack a hearty snack for your child that day ( maybe even half a sandwich) as we may be eating later than our regularly scheduled lunch time Your child’s lunch should be in a brown bag that day with their name on it and disposable drinks please. No metal or hard plastic water bottles please. Children should wear their SPN shirt and jeans, shorts or leggings. Please drop off your child’s car seat on the front ramp of the Parish Office building in the morning. PLEASE WRITE YOUR CHILD’S NAME ON HIS/HER SEAT. YOUR CHILD MAY NOT TRAVEL WITH US IF THE CAR SEAT IS NOT PROVIDED. We will be arranging the car pools for each car and appreciate your cooperation. If you are driving, your child will be in your car; we will arrange chaperones to also have their child in the car in which they are riding. Thank you.

We look forward to meeting with all of you this coming week for Parent Teacher conferences.Please remember that your conferences are 15 minutes long so it is important to be on time as we don’t have much “wiggle room” between conferences. Thanks so much.

Our Super Kid this week will be Ulysses!

What Our Families are Saying

"The supportive teachers at SPN played a big role in preparing me for high school and helping me understand what to expect. They encouraged me to ask questions and seek help when needed, which made me more confident in my learning. Thanks to them, I entered freshman year already familiar with many concepts and effective study habits that have helped me stay on top of my work. SPN also taught me valuable life skills that I still use today, helping me succeed academically, build strong friendships, and maintain my overall well-being."

— Tibby Horvath, SPN Class of 2022

"We are very satisfied with the SPN community, something that is important to our family. My children feel safe and comfortable with SPN. Our family feels connected with the SPN community from parents and families to the staff and faculty. My children and we as parents have made healthy and positive relationships with other families from school. We share time outside of school with other families which brings a level of connectedness I don't know if we would have elsewhere"

— SPN Parent

"My children are experiencing community in other ways than just friends and playdates. Faith Families is an example of community, interacting with students from all grade levels, and learning and creating for others outside of SPN. Field trips to Kids Against Hunger or the Alameda Food Bank where they work and see firsthand how their efforts help others less fortunate, for those who are in need of support. Community is not just our SPN ‘bubble,’ and that is what SPN demonstrates and provides– opportunity to explore a bigger community."
