Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, November 12,2021

By now your child should be set up at home with Lexia, Superkids Online Fun and Raz Kids.

These programs will enhance your child’s reading development. If you have had trouble logging in, please email Mrs. Foster for assistance. When we return from our Thanksgiving break look forward to December Homework which will detail these programs and the usage for home.

Thanks for discussing polite manners, proper clean up and keeping voices down at lunchtime with your children. The students are doing better. Construction has begun on the installation of our new playground structure! Rules will be established for the use of our new playground structure for the safety of all. With the addition of our new playground structure, we are hoping that playground behavior will improve too! Fr. Joseph will come to bless our structure.

We have much to be thankful for. Thankfulness Boards are due on Monday morning! Please return yellow Homework Folders as well! We are so looking forward to having your children share their Thankfulness Boards with their classmates (and us) this week! Thanking you in advance for the extra effort by all of the students.

Your child will receive their first trimester report card on Friday, November 19th. Please keep the report card and sign and return the envelope! Thank you.

Our SuperKid next week is Sapphira. Thanks to Noah for sharing his things 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."
