Parents Perspectives
-I love the warmth and family feel of the school. I really appreciate how incredible the principal has been. She is so present at all times. She always has time to talk. She has done such an amazing job this year, and it has been a year full of surprises. The teachers are extraordinary. We feel their passion and big heart in everything they do. Let’s not forget the amazing Extended Day Staff. We are so lucky to have them. -4th-grade parent
-We absolutely love the community, staff, and families at SASP. Being a new family to the school last year, we immediately felt welcomed, and the kids integrated very well into the new environment. I love the idea of morning assembly to start the day together with prayer and celebrate successes. I also feel that there is a good variety of extracurricular activities available. The building feels modern and well-maintained, and we love the outdoor space for the kids to play/learn.
-We have felt so welcomed since day 1. We’ve loved visiting our son's class for the mystery reader, Christmas party, and especially loved Step Up! We are happy all around with the school. Class Dojo is a great addition. -pk3 parent
-I love Mrs. Gottardo. She is an AMAZING teacher! I love the sense of community, and I feel that my girls are safe and comfortable at the school. -1st grade parent
-I love Class Dojo follow-ups during the day, sports help with inclusion, seeing families outside of school and at church with activities. The supportive nature of the families. The principal has increased communication by 100% and has initiated some great things. -5th-grade parent
-I love the community feel. I truly feel like it’s an extended family. The gala this year was amazing and one of the best we have attended. The faculty and staff are wonderful people. -3rd-grade parent
- Welcoming and supportive environment, sense of community, leadership, and communication, this year has been awesome! The opportunities for students that would not be available at a larger/public school, character-building activities for students, various special theme weeks, and out-of-uniform incentives. Lots of great changes this year, like the Bravo board and other daily motivational themes. We are also excited for the Innovation Lab this coming year! -Kindergarten parent
-Our family feels very satisfied with the academic growth both of our children have made this school year. Both of their teachers have done a tremendous job to support our kids. They have both grown deeply in their faith, and we love hearing the prayers they've learned in class and their lessons about God. We travel between church with SASP and my in-laws' church...our children love attending church, and we have seen an increase in their desire to attend since joining SASP this year. We love the smaller class sizes and the smaller school/family community feel. We also love knowing the staff and front office faces...and that they know our children and family well. Additionally, we are thankful for the multiple opportunities to volunteer and support students and staff. Communication strengths - Class Dojo, Seesaw, eThursday, teacher newsletters, front office when our kids have an accident or need to contact home. We want our family to be part of a positive school/community and model the importance of collaboration for our children. Buddy program - our kids just love this experience! -PK and K parent
