As the WhatsApp group is a great way of quickly sharing information with other parents, you will hear from your room parents often on this platform.  If you would like to join the group, please send a message to Maryam or Anna.

Back to School Night – Sept. 11th

Back to School Night begins at 6:30pm in the Church with a presentation by Principal Pinkofsky followed by teacher presentations in the classrooms and a reception in the school courtyard with refreshments. This is a parent-only event.

Virtus Training, Fingerprinting, and TB test

Virtus training, fingerprints, and TB test results are required for any school volunteers including but not limited to field trip chaperones, lunch/playground volunteers, and classroom volunteers. Make sure to complete these early so you don’t miss out on school activities!

Sept 21 – Virtus re-certification 10:00am to 11:30am at SPA. This is for parents who have already completed the initial training 4 yrs ago and are due for renewal.

TB Testing – please return results to Nurse Van Anderson (vanderson@sp-apostle.org).

Please contact Mayora Hiney for more information or to sign up for the Sept 21st Virtus Training.

Hot Lunch

Starting on September 5th, Organic Kids LA will be providing our hot lunch at SPA. Organic Kids LA provides hot lunch meals M-Th.

While Jersey Mike’s will continue to be offered every other TUESDAY throughout the school year, please note that we will no longer have Pizza Tuesday’s, since OKLA offers homemade pizza several times a week.

Start the school year off by trying something new or improving a skill you already have!

Choose from lots of fun and challenging activities like art, robotics, tumbling, cooking, chess, yoga, SPA spirit squad, golf, Persian language, and sewing.

Sandwich Builders

November 4, 2022

5th and 2nd grades will be hosting the next Sandwich Builders! It is important more than ever for our SPA community to continue to support and give back to communities in need. We are returning to the “pre-pandemic” schedule for SB. This means that we will gather in the JCPC beginning at 6:00pm Friday evening to make sandwiches followed by assembly of the lunches around 6:45. Lunches will be delivered Saturday morning to the Union Rescue Mission downtown L.A. We always appreciate help driving the lunches, so please sign up if you are able. Please view the link for more information.
