Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, May 15,2020

We hope all our families are doing well as we continue our Long Distance Learning. We know that it has truly been a challenging experience for our families as well as our students. We have continued to refine our program, seeking to add to and support the learning for our students.We are hoping that students will choose to participate in some of the enrichment classes offered ( if they want!) We will assess our students at the end of this trimester in order to complete the end of year report cards.

In conclusion to our study of some of the world’s major artists, we have invited the author of EIEI ART to join us on our Zoom class next Friday, May 22nd. Miss Mari has agreed to come and speak with our students! Students will have an opportunity to ask questions of the author at our Zoom class. (You can purchase the book at eieiart.com if you’d like and enter NERI for a 10% discount)

Don’t forget that we will have our Virtual Mass on Tuesday, May 26th at 8:30AM. Come and greet the teachers and staff in a long distance drive-by after mass at 10AM! We miss our students!

Our SuperKid for next week is Oliver.

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."
