Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, November 15,2019

By now your child should be set up with the Superkids Online Fun and Raz Kids. This information was sent in the October and November Homework folders.These two programs will enhance your child’s reading development. If you have had trouble logging in, please email Mrs. Foster for assistance.

The students ate their lunches in the classroom on only one day this past Thursday. We discussed manners and keeping their voices down . The students did very well. Thanks for reviewing polite manners with your children. One last note about snacks- We have some extra snacks for students who occasionally come without a snack ; however some students are now asking for extra snacks after they have eaten their own. We will no longer give out extra snacks for students as we do have a limited supply.Thanks for your assistance in making sure that your child has a daily snack.

We have much to be thankful for. Remember that the Thankfulness Boards are due this Thursday .We are so looking forward to having your children share their Thankfulness Boards with their classmates (and us!) Thanking you in advance for the extra effort by all of the students. They will be displayed in the hallway outside the Kindergarten room on Friday after school.

Your child will be receiving their first trimester report card on Friday, November 22nd. Please keep in mind that these progress reports are designed to document and provide specific feedback to students and parents as well as future teachers about a student’s progress toward specific grade-level standards and social-emotional growth. The progress reports also allow parents and students to understand more clearly what a student is expected to know by the end of each grade level.Please keep the report card and sign and return the envelope! Thank you.

Our Super Kid this week is Liam H.

Rose went home with 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."
