Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

I hope you’re looking forward to a cozy and relaxing weekend as much as I am! This week students worked efficiently, and we saw that routines and procedures we’ve taken so much time to establish are starting to pay off. Homework that was taking longer than a week is now being turned in early (rewarded with an SLE!) and “Your Turn” practice is helping to produce better results in our Weekly Assessments!

Next week we’re looking forward to celebrating Halloween on Monday with a parade, carnival, treats, crafts and a livestream of Academy of Science’s “Spooktacular Skulls Webinar”. It will be a full and fast day to say the least, and I’ll make sure to take lots of pictures to share with you.

 Here are some dates to plan for: 

  • Monday, Oct. 31 – Noon Dismissal – Halloween
  • Tuesday, Nov. 1 – All School Mass at 9:30a.m.
  • Tuesday, Nov. 8 – Family Math and Game Night Candyland
  • Thursday, Nov. 10 – End of Trimester 1; Information Night 7pm
  • Friday, Nov. 11 – No School, No Share & Care – Veteran’s Day
  • Mon-Fri, Nov. 14 – 18 – Scholastic Book Fair
  • Tuesday, Nov. 15 – Free dress for November Bdays
  • Friday, Nov. 18 – Report Card Day
  • Mon-Fri, Nov. 21-25 – Thanksgiving Break

Be sure to read our SPN Weekly Newsletter to keep up with school events and information!

Have a great weekend!

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."
— SPN Parent since 2016
