Preschool Weekly Update

“Lord, Be with me and keep my faith in You. Amen

Dear Preschool Parent,

This is such a great time in preschool! The children have a better understanding of our daily routine and are transitioning quicker. This allows us to start adding a science lesson to our weekly curriculum. This week we tied in Mystery Science to our cat, bird, fish and turtle lessons. Next week we will explore “Friendly Traits”. Care, Share, Help, Encourage and Cooperate are traits that we will be discussing and practicing.

Teacher-Parent conferences are coming up quickly. Please see this week’s school newsletter for the preschool sign-up link. The preschool will have an end of day, 4:00pm pick-up time that week.

Wednesday, September 21st will be Disney Day. Your child can wear Disney free dress. Free dress rules apply. There is no school on Friday, September 23rd.

Thank you parents for speaking to your child about lunchtime safety. Please continue to encourage good lunchtime habits. Together we can keep them safe.

Have a restful weekend.

Blessings, Ms. Grace and Ms. Hanen

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
