Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Third Grade Parents,

I hope you are all doing well on this lovely morning. As for me, my family and I got a chance to walk to Dimond Park here in Oakland and practiced hitting some balls, it was great!

Third grade did an amazing job writing stories yesterday and shared them to rapturous peer applause. Ask them about it and some of the other stories they were moved by, I’m sure you’ll find it entertaining!

As a reminder, Monday is our annual “Blessing of the Animals” . We ask that students either bring a picture of their pet or a stuffed animal (no live animals on campus please). 

We also have conferences starting Tuesday. Please make your best effort to be on time so that we can have our full 15 minutes. 
Dates to plan for: 

  • Oct 5-8 – NOON DISMISSAL for Parent/Teacher/Student conferences 
  • Monday, Oct. 11 – NO SCHOOL, No Share & Care, Indigenous Peoples’ Day
  • Thursday, Oct. 14 – Make-up Picture Day
  • Tuesday, Oct. 19 – Free dress for Oct days
  • Friday, Oct. 29 – NOON DISMISSAL, Halloween Parade

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I look forward to seeing you all next week!

Warmly,

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
