Dear Warren Elementary Families,

As we approach this special time of year, I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your ongoing support and partnership. Together, we’ve created a strong and caring community where our students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

The holiday season is a wonderful opportunity to pause, reflect, and celebrate the moments that matter most with family and friends. On behalf of the entire staff at Warren Elementary, I wish you a holiday season filled with joy, warmth, and cherished memories.

To celebrate this special season, we are thrilled to invite you to two holiday performances showcasing the talents of our amazing students:

🎄 Holiday Performances 🎄
📅 Dates: December 10th Choir

and December 16th Instrumental
⏰ Time: 5:00 PM
📍 Location: Warren Elementary

These events will be a wonderful opportunity to come together as a community and enjoy the festive spirit our students have worked so hard to prepare. We hope to see you there!

It is finally getting cooler, please make sure your students are dressed for the weather.

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.

We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the new year, recharged and ready for more growth and success. Thank you for being an essential part of our Warren family!

Warren has been struggling with chronic absenteeism this past year. We have a number of students who are not coming to school or are coming in very late. These past two weeks we have had a friendly competition to see if our classes can have at least 85% present every day. WOW did the students and you show up! The final talley: Broussard 92%, George 91%, McGee 86.%, Tyler 89.6%, Martinez 90%, Bayani 88%.

2nd Quarter Benchmark testing begins this week. Please make sure your students are on time to school. Thursday, December 5th is the Writing Test, Tuesday, December 10th is the ELA Test, and Thursday the 12th is the Math Test.

Parents are invited to the 5th grade STARBASE Completion Ceremony on Friday, December 6th at 9:00AM in the cafe. During this time you will get to see what your students did during their time at STARBASE.

In order for parents, guardians, and family members to help out at school or go on a field trip, they MUST be cleared by the district. Everyone must complete the Volunteer form on TUSD Job Website. See Below.

Warren is a uniform school. We try to incorporate Spirit Days and Weeks. During these Spirit Days, students must still be in uniform bottoms, unless it meets the criteria of the Spirit Day. For example during Stripe Day students could be in stripes, tops and stripe bottoms or stripe dress. If students wore a striped shirt they should have been in uniform bottoms. We saw a lot of jeans that day, which is not allowed. Thank you for you attention in this.

Now that tutoring has started and teachers are in meetings, we need to bring the students in the building. Please make sure you pick up your student by 2:10 pm or 1:10pm on Wednesday. After 2:10 PM, (1:10 PM on Wednesday) you will need to come in and sign your students out. Thank you.

Please make sure you label or write your child's name in their jackets and hats. Now that it has finally gotten cooler, students will be leaving them everywhere.

The Family Life Curriculum will be taught in January to the 4th and 5th graders. The curriculum can be viewed on the TUSD sharepoint website. More information will be coming out from Miss Martinez and Miss Richart.

Have you ever heard the expression “walking in someone else’s shoes?” What do you think it means? Looking from other people's points of view is 1 way to describe this month's character trait: Empathy.

Empathy is when we try to understand what someone else is feeling (and we might even feel it with them). Have you ever been with a friend who is sad or excited and you feel that feeling with them? That’s Empathy!

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

Warren loves having volunteers on our campus. If you are wanting to volunteer in your child's classroom, go on a field trip, or anywhere else on campus, you must apply to be a volunteer. It is easy and we really appreciate all the help you can give. Thank you!

It is recommended that your child brings a water bottle every day. The drinking fountains are open, but water bottles are encouraged.

We will also take donations of water. Thank you

Free lunch and breakfast will continue at Warren
