Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

Thank you all for your flexibility this past week and the cancellation of the field trip. Please know that I wouldn’t have cancelled it unless it was absolutely necessary and in the best interest for all involved. Mrs. Schopf has since taken my place in class and has done a fantastic job keeping up with our assignments. I’m hoping to be back by next week, but if not, we will either try to find a sub or continue to have Mrs. Schopf lead the class. I feel grateful that I have such a valuable and committed colleague that can pivot from assistant to teacher so seamlessly!

Here are some dates to plan for:

  • Friday, May 27 – SPN Olympics @10:45,  NOON DISMISSAL
  • Monday, May 30 – Memorial Day – NO SCHOOL
  • Tuesday, May 31 – 8th Grade Ribbon Ceremony
  • Thursday, June 2 – 8th Grade Dinner Dance
  • Friday, June 3 – Baccalaureate/All School Mass
  • Friday, June 3 – Graduation
  • Wednesday, June 8 – End of 3rd Trimester
  • Tuesday, June 14 – Moving up Ceremony
  • Tuesday, June 14 – 10:30a.m. dismissal, last day of school

Please make sure to read our SPN Weekly Newsletter for more information on school events! 

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."
