Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

I hope this email finds you well! Students have done so much better this week with homework and assignments. I was very happy to give out multiple SLE’s for homework turned in early and for “Mystery Students” who were on task during lessons. Progress reports will go home today and will include information on how your student is adjusting to 3rd grade standards/expectations. Assignments that have been sent home will also give you insight to the quality of work your child is completing in class. Our conference schedule is very tight next week, please make your best effort to be early so that we have the entire 15 minutes to discuss ways to help your child succeed this year.

Here are some dates to plan for:

  • 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

Please make sure to read the SPN Weekly Newsletter for more information about school events!

Our wonderful enrichment department will also begin sending out a monthly newsletter. Here is our first issue. 

Lastly, as birthday treats begin to roll in, please speak with your child about your expectations and if they are allowed to eat them right away. I will also give them reminders to check in with parents if they have been asked to. Any treats brought in should be small, easy to distribute and include napkins if need be. They could also be a small toy or trinket. 

Thank you for your partnership in these small, but important, matters. It takes a village!

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
