Warren Families,
Is it really fall?? The calendar says October, but the thermometer still says 106..... October will be a short month with the end of the first quarter on October 3rd. Grading day is the 4th and this leads into the Fall Break, October 7-11. Warren will be closed all week, but there will be workers on campus. Second quarter starts October 14. The classrooms are cold and soon it will be cold outside. Please make sure that your child's name is in their jacket or sweater, as they get left outside or other places.
Students finished their 1st quarter benchmarks and they were not as strong as we would like to see in ELA. Math scores were much better. Please make sure your child spends time every night reading. They can read anything as long as they read.
Please make sure you check out Warren's website. There is an incredible drone footage of Warren. You will also see highlights to 3 of the Warren staff.
Remember, Warren is a uniform school, but if you need any help with uniforms please reach out to the front office. If your child will be bringing their own lunch, please make sure it is a healthy lunch full of brain food like protein, fruit, and free from soda, candy, and chips. Please Keep the Hot Cheetos, Takis, and any hot chip at home. Students end up sharing them and causing problems.
Please remember to help your student get to school on time. It is very important that your children are on time each day. Tardiness is not acceptable and has a negative impact on their learning. The bell for students to line up, rings at 7:42 a.m. Start of school bell rings at 7:45 a.m. Students are considered tardy after 7:50 a.m. All tardy students must sign in at the front office and receive a tardy admit slip to class.
Please reach out to me and our front office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
New Library Assistant
Lori Alexander is our new Library Assistant. Students will soon be able to spend more time in the library learning. Mrs. Alexander is also a children's author. Warren is so excited to have her join our Warren Family.

OMA- Opening Minds Through The Arts
We recharge educators' passion for teaching and assist them in developing techniques that fully engage the multiple intelligences of all students.
- Arts are part of classroom instruction in all OMA schools
- Specialists, classroom teachers, and artists work together with students
- Promote community bonds with artists and organizations, including UA
Creative expression and the arts are the oldest tools humans have used to explain their world and order their reality.
Mr. Floyd is Warren's fantastic OMA teacher, please consider donating your tax credit to Fine Arts at Warren so he can continue his incredible work.
