Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, April 24,2020

We hope that you enjoyed your Easter with your families. We have returned this week back to our Long Distance Learning and are very happy with the commitment we are seeing from our students as well as parents. Based upon some suggestions that parents made in the Parent Survey, we’ve adjusted the emailing of the weekly schedules. Weekly schedules will now be sent out on Friday evenings in preparation for the week to follow. Our daily schedule remains the same although we will be making some changes to our schedule beginning on May 3rd. We will be adding in some additional Zoom times for learning and connecting with our students. More details will follow in next week’s website and schedule.

Our Super Kid next week will be Kara. Please be ready to share on Tuesday.

The Guesstimation Jar goes to Ashley. Please send 1 or 2 photos of the jar out to the class. Students should be ready with their guesses on Friday.

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."
