Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, October 25,2019

Thank you to those parents who drove and chaperoned on out field trip to G & M Pumpkin Patch! It was a great day and a perfect first field trip! Your assistance is much appreciated. The students were well behaved and had fun! They will be decorating their pumpkins next week and can then take them home.

Thank you for supporting the new listening plan for students. It is most helpful to have parental reinforcement!

In the next few weeks, we will begin to do some formal and informal assessment in preparation for the first report card period. Report cards will be issued on November 22nd and are standards based.Your child may be asked to orally answer questions or to complete a worksheet independently so that we may assess their skill level.

The Super Kid this week is Juan Carlos.

Rosie went home with Hudson.

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."
— SPN Parent since 2016
