Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, May 26,2022

Your children are almost First Graders! All children have shown growth in their emotional, social and academic education in Kindergarten this year. We will continue with our End of Year Assessments for Superkids as well as continuing assessments in Language Arts and Math this week.

We look forward to seeing our Kindergarteners’ creative talents in conjunction with their Saints Reports this week! Some students have already sent a video of their saint presentation- some even dressed in costumes and had props! Thank you for assisting your children. We appreciate all of the extra work involved. It’s a great learning experience in preparation for the older grades.

For the last day of school, St. Philip Neri has traditionally held a “Moving Up Ceremony.” We will have our “Moving Up Ceremony” on Tuesday, June 14th from 9:30-10:30 AM.Teachers prepare a send-off speech for their classes and present it on this day in the church. Each grade then “moves” over to the pew where their next grade sits. Due to current COVID circumstances, parents will not be able to be in the church for this event. Please join us on the main school yard to watch your Kindergartener transition to the 1st grade line!

This is our last day of school and please note, it is a 10:30 dismissal. There is no Share and Care on this day.

Our last SuperKid is Kalina! Thank you to Maxwell for sharing his 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."

— SPN Parent since 2016
