Preschool Weekly Update – Week of 2/3

Happy February!

Hello parents,

Amazing that January is over and we are heading into February!  The children’s, Going on Safari, portfolios were sent home yesterday.  Our portfolios give parents a glimpse of how their child is progressing in preschool. 
On Monday we will start our February, Health and Fitness curriculum. Our “Education in Virtue” will focus on perseverance this month. This looks like, “Continue to try something even when it is hard ” and sounds like, “I am going to keep trying. I won’t give up”.

If your preschooler will be attending SPN Transitional -Kindergarten next year, the process to register is a little different. Here are some helpful tips.
When you fill out the Powerschool Application form it will ask if your child currently attends SPN.  They do not.  You will enter SPN Preschool when you write out their current school.  We do not use the Powerschool application process for our Preschool program. This process will register them with the “Big School”. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Ms.Mina in the school office 

TK-Kindergarten Readiness Testing for preschool will be administered in the preschool classroom during regular school hours. No appointment is needed.

Miss Rosie and I want to thank you all for trusting us with guiding your beautiful children. We truly feel blessed and appreciated. Have a great weekend!

Peace, Ms. Grace and Miss Rosie

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
