Week of November 30

Dear Fifth Grade Families,


I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving. I am grateful for our SPN community as we continue to navigate the school year together. If you have any questions or concerns (or catch any errors on my end), please reach out and I will do my best to answer them, or find someone who is able to help.


Attached you will find the 5th grade distance learning schedule for the week, and a review of our weekly assignments. 


Please note that I will not have 1:1 meetings with students tomorrow, but will see them for our end of the day meeting/prayer. They may use that time to finish their Diocese Christmas Card if they chose to participate in this year’s contest (Due 3pm Tuesday 12/1. Email: dcsadmin@csdo.org), or work on their assignments. Please let me know if you or your child would like to meet/check-in.

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
