Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

It was so nice meeting with you and your lovely children this week! I hope you left feeling hopeful about your student’s progress and were also made aware of areas of growth. If you have any follow-up questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I hope you received your child’s latest envelope of work and found it informative. I want you to know that although these assignments went home only yesterday, your child had a chance to see their scores much earlier. We grade many of our papers and quizzes in class, which provides immediate feedback for them. This proves useful because it enables them to track their progress in real time and correct any misunderstandings they may have.

Here are some upcoming dates to plan for:

Monday, October 9 – NO SCHOOL: Indigenous Peoples Day
Tuesday, October 17 – Free dress for October birthdays
Thursday, October 19 – Rhythmix Field Trip, 9:45 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Friday, October 20 – Make-up Photo Day
Tuesday, October 26 – K-5 Town Hall Meeting, 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Tuesday, October 31 – Noon Dismissal, Halloween Parade, 8:15 a.m.

**Mass is every Wednesday. Unless it is very warm, students should be in full uniform. Please ensure they are clean with no holes on the knees.

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

I’ve added some items to our class Wish List here. It contains prizes for our end-of-the-week raffle and incentives to encourage positive behavior. Parents will receive 1 volunteer hour for every $20 spent. Please include a gift receipt so we know who to thank.

Lastly, if you ever want access past weekly updates or would like to sign up for weekly alerts, you can find them on our school website under Academics>Third Grade. The password is: spnfamilies

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."
