Third Grade Update

Dear Parents,

Students worked hard this week to catch up on assignments and prepare for the end of the week assessments. They enjoyed one of their first Spirit Days of the year and looked fantastic in their Disney gear! Thank you all for signing up for conferences. I’ll send out reminders on green paper with your child’s homework that week. Please know that students are required to attend our conference.

As I continue to learn about our class’ habits and pace, I’ve realized it’s taking more time to complete assignments and for ALL to be turned in. That being said, you may notice that some assignments are on our grid longer than expected. Paragraph of the week recently took 3 weeks, and our religion chapters with review are taking 2 weeks each. I’d like to pick up the pace as we move forward, but need your assistance. Please look in your child’s purple homework/continuing to work folder on a daily basis to see if your child has any classwork to finish and that they are moving through their homework. I’d like all work to be completed by Friday, so that we can all start with only the work ahead of us on Monday. Thank you for your partnership in this.

Here are some dates to plan for:

Friday, Sept. 23 – NO SCHOOL – Elementary staff day, NO Share & Care
Wednesday, Sept. 28 – Noon Dismissal
Tuesday-Friday, Oct. 4-7 – Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences
Monday, Oct. 10 – NO SCHOOL – Indigenous People Day/Columbus Day
Friday, Oct. 14 – Make-up Picture day
Tuesday, Oct. 18 – Free dress October bdays
Monday, Oct. 31 – Noon Dismissal – Halloween

Make sure to read SPN’s Weekly Newsletter to keep up with school events and information!

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."
