Kindergarten Update

Dear Parents, June 3,2022

It’s hard to believe that the school year is almost over. It was a great pleasure to have your children in our class this year. We ALL learned so many things! Your children are so proud and have become more confident in their skills- Reading, Writing, Math, Speaking.This past year, as the days progressed, we all struggled through the changing and evolving Covid protocols.We can never thank you enough for your support and confidence in us.

The year is almost over so we will soon return your children to you- the same children that you entrusted in our care last fall. We return them to you with a few more pounds, a few inches taller and months wiser, more responsible and more mature than back then.

We know that your children would have grown without our help; however we want you to know that it has been a pleasure and a privilege to see their personalities grow day by day and see how they have developed in their learning.

We have laughed, played, studied and learned; the students have enriched our lives during the year. Continue to take great care of your children because they are so precious and so genuine.

Remember that we will always have a great interest in your children- in their schooling here at St. Philip Neri, in their destinies, wherever they may go, whatever they may do and whoever they become.We are all blessed to be a part of the St. Philip Neri Community.

Our Moving Up Ceremony will be on Tuesday, June 14th- The Last Day of Kindergarten. No uniforms on this day. Dress Up to Move Up!

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."
