Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, October 30,2021

In accordance with our School Wide Learning Expectations, we will be awarding students with a special “SLE”. Students must exhibit Respect, Responsibility, Reverence and showing steps towards being Lifelong Learners. SLE recognition sheets will go into a basket for a raffle each week on Wednesdays to earn Free Dress! Each Wednesday a name will be selected from the basket and a winner will be awarded a Free Dress! This will include students from our Early Elementary Wing, Preschool-Kindergarten.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving and as we approach the holiday season, we would like to have the students create a “Board Of Thankfulness.” Coming home this Monday will be the directions for the Board. It will be our November homework. During the week of November 15th the students will share their boards with the class. Please have your child practice sharing the board. All of this information will go home on Monday, November 1st. with your child’s homework folder.

Your child will be receiving their first trimester report card on Friday, November 19th. Please keep in mind that these reports are designed to document and provide specific feedback to students and parents as well as future teachers about a student’s progress toward specific grade-level standards and social-emotional growth. The reports also allow parents and students to understand more clearly what a student is expected to know by the end of each grade level.Please remember to keep your child’s report card and to sign and return the report card envelope.

Please make sure that your child has an extra mask in their backpack at all times!

Our SuperKid next week is Sebastian. Thank you to Samantha F. for sharing your things.

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."
