The Noble Knight

News Noble School provides a safe and caring environment where everyone enjoys and celebrates childhood and respects diverse values, talents and

ethnicity. We promote a variety of experiences that nurture social, emotional, intellectual and academic growth which contributes to the development of

independent, cooperative and responsible citizens with high self-esteem and a life long zest for learning.

From the desk of Mrs. Ortiz:

Happy Fall/ Halloween/Best season Noble

Families. Do you want to know why Fall is a great

time of the year? It’s because we have settled into

our classrooms, our teachers are really showing off

their creativity, and kids are really diving into

learning. This time of year is when crisp fresh air

inspires new ideas and new curiosities. It’s a great

time to begin discovering new, indoor places to

explore. It’s a great time to visit the library and find

that new adventure to read about.

I want to thank all the families that came to our

annual Back to School Night. It really shows your

student’s that you care about what is going on in

their classrooms. Please keep that communication

and contact open with your classroom teachers as

the year progresses. It is one of the more effective

ways to set your children up for success.

~Mrs. Ortiz

Appointments During School

In an effort to not have delays and interruptions to

the teachers break, we are asking for you to pick

your child up for appointments before or after

recess or lunch break. Please see bell schedule in

the front office or on our website for break times.

Thank you for your cooperation. Day Care at Noble

Day Care Noble has two child care programs available for Noble students from kindergarten through fifth grade. SJBDC offers before and after school. Please contact the San Juan Bautista Day Care at 259-8952 for additional information. The R.O.C.K. program only offers after school daycare for late bird kinders and 1

st – 5

th grade. Please contact the City of

San Jose Dept. of Parks and Recreation at 251-6392 or pick up a flyer in the office.

Parents please make sure you arrange with your

kiddos any pick up arrangements BEFORE you

drop them off each day. We get a high call volume

of phone calls asking us to let students know what

to do after school. Calling classrooms interrupts

instructional time. We really appreciate your help

with this matter.

Traffic Reminders

We continue to ask for everyone’s support and cooperation

in following our traffic procedures. Follow the traffic flow

and avoid left turns out of the driveways if possible. Wait

to drop off and pick up students until your car is at a cone

with a safety patrol students to assist. Students will exit the

car only on the right side. If you are walking, please model

safety to your child by using the crosswalk, and please do

not jay-walk. Do not park in red zones, or drive onto

campus near the Kindergarten playground. Thank you for

your understanding and help!
