Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Third Grade Parents,

I hope this email finds you well and you’re enjoying the beautiful weather we’re having. I got a chance to go out to the San Leandro marina this morning with my family and it was absolutely gorgeous!

We have another virtual week coming up and we’ll get more information on our return to in person learning. During our staff day this past Friday I was able to collaborate with other third grade teachers from the diocese. I was both motivated and inspired by those who have opened successfully and safely. There were many who said it was rough the first couple of weeks, but that it was worth it to have students back in class and their routines were now much easier. I have my fingers crossed that we’ll go down that same path soon! 

Thank you for continued dedication, diligence and support this year, it really makes all the difference for our kids. 

In Partnership and Gratitude,

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
