2026-2027

At the Scappoose Board of Education monthly meeting on Monday 9/14, the board made a motion to open up out of district transfers. It was recommended by our Superintendent to cap the transfers at 10 student spots at Warren. So - we are still accepting out of district transfers, and late registrations, for Kindergarten students who live in the Scappoose School District boundaries. Call and reach out to our Warren office secretary, Erin Bird, to ensure registration documentation is submitted and complete.

Principal Megan is so excited to have OMSI here at Warren for our first BIG all school assembly. We will be learning about solids, liquids, and gases, and exploring what it means to be a scientist at 9am on Wednesday, November 18th. If you are interested in attending the assembly at Warren, please call ahead of time, as we are only planning to have students attend. Our school team would want to be prepared in case families and/or parents come to ensure appropriate seating.

Mrs. Migs missed seeing all our Warren Eagles in the library this week! Since it’s been 2 weeks since our last checkout, it’s time to return all library books to school so that students can get something fresh next Monday.

Last week in the library, we read The Future Book, by Mac Barnett. It was very silly, and gave students a peek at a future where many people are named Charlie Cheeseface and we say goodbye like this: “You smell like a baby!” The Future Book is one of five picture books nominated for this year’s Patricia Gallagher Children’s Choice Award. We’ll be reading the books together in the library throughout the year, then voting in the spring to help choose the award winner.

Don't forget Early Release Wednesdays dismissal @ 2pm!

Breakfast is served at 8:10am every day.

🎉 Here are some important things we are learning in Kindergarten next week:

1. Identify and produce the sounds of letters /h/ /l/ /g/ /pk/ /oo/

2. With prompting and support, retell key details to answer a question from informational text.

3. How to read my yellow heart words - click here to see a copy of the Kinder heart words!

4. In Science, we are exploring how different animals eat.

5. We are continuing to practice counting items, and being able to explain how thinking in operational aspects with numbers. (ex - you have ___ number, how many more or less to get to ___?)

6. We are learning how to show respect around the school and in our classrooms.

With Gratitude,
Principal Megan Shea

💖 Enjoy!

🔢Counting Collections-

Students love to count little objects like small erasers, scrabble tiles, fuzzy pom-poms, etc.! Put the items in a little bag and practice one to one correspondence (touching each object with the correct numeral said out loud) and explore math number sense at home. Can you sort and count the objects by 2s? 3s? 5s??!! We'll be practicing this in our classrooms very soon!

🏠Responsibility Chart-

Build the Habit of Good Attendance Early ~ Help your child succeed early in school!

Regular and on-time attendance is important to your child’s success at

school, starting in pre-K and kindergarten. Research strongly supports the

connection between your child's sense of belonging, academic

achievement and attendance.

• Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school and

themselves.

• Students need time to build relationships with their teachers and fellow

students.

• Missing 10%, or about two days each month over the course of a school

year, can make it harder to learn to read.

• Students can still fall behind if they miss just one or two days every few

weeks.

• Students develop the habits of good attendance and punctuality for high

school and beyond.

HELP YOUR CHILD SUCCEED IN SCHOOL Build the Habit of Good Attendance and Punctuality

Being on time is an important skill to have in life. Our doors close at 8:25, if you come after that, you must sign in at the office and your student is considered tardy.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

In elementary school, parents/guardians are key players in reinforcing habits of good attendance and punctuality.

• Set a regular bedtime and morning routine.

• Lay out clothes and pack backpacks the night before school.

• Develop contingency plans for getting to school if something comes up. Call on a family member, neighbor or another parent.

• Schedule medical appointments and extended trips when school isn't in session.

• If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to their teacher, counselor or principal about how to make them feel more comfortable and excited about learning.

• If your child must stay home due to illness, ask the teacher for ideas and resources for continued learning at home.

SCAPPOOSE SHARE AND CARE

Families in the Scappoose area who need toys, food and/or

clothing for Christmas may now apply for Share and Care. If you are in

need this Holiday season, you may apply online at https://www.srfd.us/

share-care. Paper copies are also available for pick up at the Fire

Station located at 52751 Columbia River Hwy in Scappoose or at St.

Vincent DePaul Food Bank, located at 51555 SW Old Portland Road in

Scappoose. The Scappoose Public Library is also partnering to assist

applicants with on-line access.

Forms must be returned by Noon, December 8th, 2026, to

the Scappoose Fire Station or mailed to PO Box 625, Scappoose,

OR. 97056. Forms turned in as soon as possible have the best chance

of any special requests being met.

Scappoose Share and Care is a combined effort of the Scappoose

Kiwanis and Scappoose Volunteers Firefighters Association that

provides toys and food to families in need during the Christmas

holidays.

Electronic applications preferred.

1) Working on keeping a steady beat.
2) Singing new songs like: The Welcome to Music song, The Good Behavior Pledge and Way Up High in the Apple Tree.

3) Playing some new instruments like the rhythm sticks and shaker eggs.

4) Playing music games like Bee Bee Bumble Bee

Here's what the things mentioned above help your student with:

1) Brain growth- Music is the only activity humans do that activates all areas of the brain at one time. And every time your student learns a new song, new areas of their brain light up that have never been lit up before. That's cool!

2) Cooperation: When we sing songs and move together, we are all doing it at the same time creating a sense of unity between us.

3) Coordination: When students sing and keep a beat with a rhythm instrument at the same time, they are learning to coordinate multiple areas of their body and teaching them to work together.

4) Taking Turns: When we play music games, students are learning all of the above, plus they are also learning to take turns and that it's okay if their friend gets a turn and they do not that class.
