A Note from the Principal
Dear SPB Families,
It's hard to believe that our first quarter has drawn to a close. What a wonderful start to the year it has been! In reviewing report cards as well as MAP scores, I have been impressed by the high achievement of our students and the hard work and effort behind them. I encourage our students to continue on this path. Thank you to our teachers for engaging our students in the learning process and helping them to grow academically and spiritually. I also want to thank our parents for working in concert with us to ensure that our students are learning and growing.
First quarter report cards have been published as of today. You have the ability to print a report card to keep for yourself. Directions for accessing report cards can be found inside your child’s report card envelope as well as below. Please note that there are two pages to the report cards. You don't want to miss the second page which includes teacher comments. Please sign the report card envelope and return to your child's teacher tomorrow. We will send a hard copy of report cards at the end of the school year only. Remember that parent-teacher conferences take place next week, and our teachers are eager to meet with you.
You may access your child’s final grades for the quarter on Gradelink following these directions:
1. Log into Gradelink.
2. Click on the Grades tab on the left hand side.
3. The option to download the report card will appear on the right side of the screen. You
can then download it to view or print.
Blessings,
Diane Raguz, Principal
Happy Halloween!

Playground/Lunchroom Volunteer Sign Ups
The links for November for Grade 6, and December for Grade 5 can be found below. With the holiday season just ahead, we know that you will want to get the dates that work for your busy schedule!
We are asking that each family (mom, dad, grandma, etc.) choose at least two days to volunteer each time slot being 11:00-1:00. We are so grateful for the help!
This is a great way for you to interact with your child and his/her classmates during the school day! Lunch/Recess Volunteers should arrive to school at 11:00 and check in at the office. Duties will include supervising students at recess, escorting students to the cafeteria from recess, and supervising in the cafeteria. Volunteers will be with one teacher and two "core" volunteers each day to help direct. Remember that after your two volunteer time slots, you are done for the year, as each month is assigned to a different grade.
Thank you again for your time and service to the students and teachers of SPB! Simply click on the grade level link to pick a time convenient for you: Grade 6, Grade 5.
We are grateful to the following Grade 7 moms, dads, and grandparents who volunteered during the month of October: Mrs. Jaime Mance, Mrs. Mary Ellen Moore, Mr. Tom Dereska, Mr. Tunde Olowu, Mrs. Natalie de Caris, Mr. Joseph Phillips, Mr. Mario de Caris, Mrs. Jessica Dicus, Mrs. Wendy Trivisonno, Mr. Lou Trivisonno, Ms. Kimberley Munn, Mrs. Denise Coreno, Mrs. Lauren Meek, Mr. Fred Mance, Mrs. Kathy Andru, Mr. Scott Anthony, Dr. Paul Lipold, Mrs. Amy Bell, Mrs. Beth Detzel, Mrs. Jackie Titas, Mrs. Angelita Olowu, Mrs. Kimmie Yormick, and Mrs. Iryna Yarovitskiy.
