Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, November 1, 2019

Thanks to all the parents who helped with our Halloween Breakfast , Games and Craft Activity. It was a fun day!

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. On Thursday, November 21st the students will share their boards with the class. On Friday, November 22nd you may drop by after school or Share and Care to see our Boards displayed in the Kindergarten Hallway. All of this information will go home on Monday, November 4th with your child’s homework folder.

( PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A CHANGE ON THE INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR COMING TO VIEW THE CHILDRENS’ BOARDS. WE WILL NOT DO AN OPEN HOUSE BUT JUST A DROP IN INSTEAD. This message supersedes that letter. Thank you.)

We have been assessing your children in preparation for report cards. We hope that these will give you an accurate assessment of your child’s progress. You may contact us at any time if you have questions or concerns.

At pick up time,please remember to supervise your children out in front of the Parish Office and Kindergarten Room. Students have been reported to be running around with little or no parental supervision. This is a busy street area with many cars. Please don’t allow your child to play there at dismissal time.

Super Kid this week is Joseph.

Rosie went home with Cole.

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."
