Third Grade Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

Third grade is moving full steam ahead! Students are now responsible for the following classwork to be completed by Fridays:

  1. Homework packets (fully completed)
  2. “Your Turn” pages
  3. Writing practice- either Paragraphs of the Week (POWS) or writing skills: Students are given a short amount of time (20 min.) to finish in class on Fridays.

We had a lot of unfinished homework and “Your Turn” pages this week. This practice is necessary to ensure your child is ready for the Weekly Assessments we take on Fridays. Please double check with your child and that they are moving through this material in a timely manner. I know many of you do, and I truly appreciate it. 

Here are some dates to plan for:

  • Tuesday, Sept. 20 – Free Dress September bdays
  • Friday, Sept. 23 – NO SCHOOL – Elementary staff day, NO Share & Care
  • Wednesday, Sept. 28 – Noon Dismissal
  • Tuesday-Friday, Oct. 4-7 –  Parent/Teacher/Student Conferences
  • Monday, Oct. 10 – NO SCHOOL – Indigenous People Day/Columbus Day
  • Friday, Oct. 14 – Make-up Picture day

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
