Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, October 8,2021

Thank you for conferencing with us last week. It gave us great pleasure to let you know how well your children are doing. Thank you also for reinforcing policies for behavior and listening skills as well as assisting your child with the new monthly practice folder.As discussed at conference time, you can expect an email which will provide a link to our website for our Kindergarten Weekly Update. Please also attempt to sign up for email notifications! As always, feel free to contact us with any concerns you may have at any time.

In lieu of our annual field trip to the Pumpkin Patch this year (due to COVID restrictions) we will have the pumpkin patch come to us! We will have a Harvest Festival On Wednesday, October 20th in our classroom! Our room moms are working with us for a fun filled day with activities and snacks. Students should come dressed as farmers or ranchers! Be creative.

Students need to be in full uniform at all times. We are noticing that some students are coming to school out of uniform. Students need to have solid white, navy blue, or black socks, an official school sweatshirt, navy blue cardigan or V neck pull -over sweater and navy blue shorts or pants. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

The Super Kid this week is Ashley. Thank you to Bennett Lane for sharing last 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."
