Dear OPE Families,
Parent-teacher conferences are coming up on November 9th and 10th! Conferences are a great opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate their growth, and talk about how we can continue supporting their learning. I wanted to put these dates on your radar as you plan ahead. Sign-up information will be shared soon, so please keep an eye out for more details. We look forward to connecting with you!
Sincerely,
Principal Harder

🏆 2v2 Four Square Tournament
Postponed: Due to Halloween & weather, we have moved the next round of competition to Monday 11-2-26....stay tuned!
The competition is heating up! Round II (quarterfinals) is underway, and our competitors have been displaying great skill and sportsmanship throughout the tournament. It's been fantastic to see students competing hard while still showing respect for their opponents!
We're now heading into the semifinal matches, bringing us one step closer to crowning our 2v2 Foursquare champions. Matches are played during recess, and with only a few teams remaining, every match counts!
Good luck to our semifinalists, and keep up the great teamwork and sportsmanship. Go Owls!
Join the Next SEPO Meeting!
We hope you can join us virtually at 7pm next Thursday, November 5for our next SEPO Monthly Meeting. It's a wonderful opportunity to stay informed, share ideas, and get involved in upcoming events.

Winter Wreath Sale
Wreaths, garland, and centerpieces from Sherwood Farms are now for sale. A portion of proceeds go to SEPO and into classrooms. Orders are due by Wednesday November 4th.
Please either order online here or hand in your order form to the office at your school.
Orders will be available for pick up in early December, or for a $5 donation we offer delivery within the Scappoose and Warren area.
Volunteer Opportunities!
If you are interested in volunteering this year, please fill out the SEPO Volunteer Interest Form. Did one last year? Please do a new one!
Filling out the interest form ensures that you are on the SEPO mailing lists for this school year. By indicating interest in an event, you are not committing to anything - rather it will make sure that you are on the event specific communications. We also know that you may have specific skills that could be helpful that don’t fit in a “box” - please let us know what they are and we will connect with you!
In addition to the SEPO form, a Scappoose School District Volunteer Application is required. This background check is valid for two years.
