Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents, 

I hope this email finds you well. Report cards and STAR testing results will go home today. Students did excellent overall at achieving their AR goal of 1 book every 2 weeks (6 per trimester) and are enjoying the quiet time that our sustained silent reading (S.S.R.) time provides. Please know that STAR testing is only one piece of information we use to show growth and that it also increases in difficulty as the year progresses. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. 

Here are some dates to plan for:

  • Wednesday, March 30th – SLC Spirit Day – Decades!
  • Thursday, April 14th –  Seder Meal (Holy Thursday)
  • Friday, April 15th – Good Friday: NO SCHOOL
  • Mon- Fri, April 18th-22nd – Easter Break: NO SCHOOL
  • Tuesday, April 26th – April Free Dress

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember to read our Weekly School Newsletter to find out more information about school events.

Warmly,
Mrs. Costy

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
