Book Fairs Bring Us New Books!
THIS WEEK IN THE LIBRARY!: We are so lucky to have such support for our library through our Book Fairs! The kids love taking home new books and we couldn’t update our collection without this community support! Thank you for sharing the Book Joy with all of us!
THE WORK HAS BEGUN!: Last weekend I started the reconfiguration work and weeded the OPE library–thank you to the volunteers who came and helped to stamp books and void barcodes, I appreciate you!
In the process of emptying the Warren library, I need to make room for many of those books at both OPE and Grant Watts. As I do this, please watch for Free Book Carts in the buildings–while some books have lived a full life on our shelves, their circulation is low (if at all), but they still have great stories and information to share so please take them home and share them with your families and then pass them along to someone else to enjoy. (Please make sure that you preview books to make sure the content and reading level are appropriate for your family)
In addition to making room for the books to transition between schools, all of the books will have to be re-catalogued in the system (and many re-labeled) and this will take me several weeks, possibly months, to complete. So, please pardon the mess of boxes and stacks as I work diligently to complete this HUGE task. I will be reaching out for volunteers along the way, so thank you in advance for your help in lightening the load! I appreciate you.
WAY TO GO!: We have had many fines paid and books found this past week–THANK YOU for your help in getting books back on the shelves for our students to enjoy. Keep up the good work!
Happy Reading ~ Mrs. Nudo
Attendance Reminders & After School Change of Plans
Also, if you have to change your students' after-school plans, please try to do this one hour before students are released so that we have enough time to communicate with teachers and staff.
- Sue MacLachlan: smaclachlan@scappoose.k12.or.us
- Mary McNabb: mmcnabb@scappoose.k12.or.us
- Your child's teacher
We appreciate your support in making sure we know where your students are during the school day. Thank you!
Personal Electronic Device Policy
(Cell phones, Smart watches, Earbuds)
As an upper elementary school, O.P.E. will align with the Middle School policy concerning electronic devices. A personal electronic device is defined by the district as any “device capable of electronically communicating, sending, receiving, storing, recording, reproducing and/or displaying information and data.” The new policy will ask that students have their devices “off and away” while on campus. A private warning will be given if a student uses the device while at school. A second infraction will lead to the device being turned into the office for pick-up at the end of the day. Parents will be asked to pick up the device after a third infraction. The school is asking for parent support with this policy as we focus on building a positive learning environment.Here is the testing schedule for the rest of May.
