Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

I would like to start off by letting you know that I am very excited about this upcoming year! I feel fortunate to have met many of you throughout my time at SPN and look forward to introducing myself to those I have not had the pleasure of meeting. 

This is the first of weekly emails that will include our assignment grid, learning objectives and other information you’ll need for the upcoming week. I plan to keep them concise and the information will also be posted on our school website as well as Google Classroom (once we have students logged into the class I’ve created for them).

I’ve included a general schedule that outlines when our core subjects and enrichment classes will be taught throughout the day. I’ve curated most of our classroom supplies over the summer but ask that you bring in a few items on the first day of class.

  • 3 Ring Binder (1.5 – 2 inches, any color)
  • I box of Kleenex
  • I container of Baby/Hand wipes
  • Backpack (no wheels)
  • Water Bottled (Labeled with name)

We are not currently asking for Clorox wipes or Hand Sanitizer but may need to ask for some later in the year once our stock is depleted.

Lastly, please label all clothing and personal items if possible and let me know if you would like me to add any other emails onto our weekly mailing list. 

I look forward to seeing you all next week. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Best,

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
