Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, January 31,2020

We enjoyed celebrating Catholic Schools Week with your students and saw many parents at the different activities during the week. Thanks for all the work you do for our school and for a lovely teacher appreciation day luncheon and gifts. We are fortunate to have parents as our partners in educating children. You make a difference!

This month finds us very busy with Valentine’s Day, Presidents’ Holiday, 100th Day of School and Chinese New Year. For Valentine’s Day, please have your child bring a Valentine for each member of the class. No names on the front envelope please- just have your child sign their names on their cards. Teachers will provide a treat for the students!

Don’t forget to have your child bring in a bag of 100 like items on Wednesday for our 100th day Celebration!

Please be sure that you have read the letter that came home in your child’s Friday folder about the Religion Lesson “ Circle of Grace”.We will teach this week.

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."
