Thank you for conferencing with us last week. It gave us great pleasure to let you know how well your children are doing. Thanks also for reinforcing the new policies for behavior and consequences which we distributed at parent teacher conference time.Please feel free to contact us with any concerns you may have at any time.

Here are more specifics for our field trip to the pumpkin patch this Thursday, October 17th:

Children should arrive to school at regular time.
Students should wear their school shirt and preferably jeans or long pants of their choice. (It is dusty and the students sit on hay bales there!)
Wear an old pair of tennis shoes.
Children should bring a bagged lunch. It should have all disposable contents.
We will eat snack at school before we depart so please send a separate snack.
Your child will keep their pumpkin here at school so that we can decorate them next week with 8th graders. They will be sent home the following week.
Drivers and chaperones should arrive at 10:00 to sign in at the office and load booster seats. We will depart by 10:30 and return to school by 2:00.Drivers and chaperones will be notified separately.

For Halloween, your child may wear his/her costume to school. Please be sure that your child has an age appropriate costume and is comfortable.

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."
