Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

It’s finally dried out a little today and students were able to enjoy being outside for recess again with equipment! As you can imagine, they start going stir crazy when they don’t have space to run and play. 

I’ve talked to students about expectations during the second half of the year. They are solid third graders and are moving closer and closer to becoming fourth graders. That being said, expectations for academic work and classroom behavior will continue to rise, and the importance of being in class on a daily basis allows them to strengthen routines as well as keep up with in-class lessons and content. Make-up work cannot replace what they get from being in class. Thank you for making a continual effort to give your child the in-class time they need to be successful. 

Here are some dates to plan for: 

• Friday, Jan. 13: No School- Elementary Staff Day 
• Monday, Jan. 16: No School- Martin Luther King Jr. Day
• Wednesday, Jan. 18: Spirit Day- Pajamas!
• Tuesday, Jan. 24: Free Dress for January Bdays
• Wednesday, Jan 25: Fall Sports Photos, Noon Dismissal
• Sunday, Jan. 29: Open House after Mass, Catholic Schools Week Kickoff
• Friday, Feb. 3: Noon Dismissal- Teacher Appreciation Day

Please remember to read our SPN Weekly Newsletter to keep up with school information and events!

Lastly, we will take our first field trip next Wednesday, January 11th to the Academy of Science in San Francisco. We’ll leave by bus at 8:45 and return by 2:00. Students will need to wear their SPN shirt but can have free dress from the waist down (no ripped jeans or short skirts/shorts). We also require all students to bring a bagged lunch where all items can be disposed of afterwards. The Academy does not have a place to store lunches and we will need to throw everything away afterward.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
