Your involvement—whether it’s helping with homework, volunteering, or simply encouraging your child each day—makes a tremendous difference. Together, we are building a strong, caring school community where every child can thrive. November is a wonderful time to slow down and appreciate all that we have. I am truly thankful for our dedicated teachers, our hardworking students, and our amazing families who bring so much warmth and joy to Warren Elementary. As Thanksgiving approaches, I hope you find time to relax, laugh, and make special memories with your loved ones. Here are a few fun November family activities to try this month: 🧡 Create a “thankful jar” — have each family member add notes of gratitude throughout the month. 🍁 Take a nature walk and collect colorful leaves to make art or collages together. 🥧 Cook or bake something as a family—let your child help measure, mix, and taste! 📚 Have a family reading night with cozy blankets and hot cocoa. 🎲 Play a favorite board game or make up your own family trivia. School Lunches Our students are enjoying the delicious school lunches, and we encourage you to have your child try some of the new menu items this month! 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 other hot chips at home. These end up causing trouble at school. Thank you for understanding. If you need any help with uniforms, please speak with the office as we do have some uniform vouchers and uniforms available. If your child has grown out of uniforms and they are still in good condition, please donate to the school.  It is very important that your child(ren) 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.    Warren is committed to providing every Wildcat a safe and successful education. Parents, we need your collaboration, involvement, ideas, and support. Feel free to call me at 520-908-4700 or email me.  You can stay informed about our school and upcoming events by visiting our website or visiting our Facebook School and Class Dojo Thank you again for being such an important part of our Wildcat community.

Parents will be let in through the east gate closest to the small basketball court.   From the School Nurse It’s October and it’s National Dental Hygiene Month! Brushing your teeth for 2 minutes 2 times a day is a great way to help keep your teeth in amazing shape. Mass Hearing Screening is Nov 3rd. Vision screening will be done throughout the year. As the seasons change, the weather cools, it’s good to practice hand hygiene as well. Hand washing is the best way to help prevent the spread of germs and viruses. Wet hands, remove hands from water and add soap, lather for 20 seconds then rinse off the soap. Practicing together with the little ones is a good way to develop the habit. If your child is not feeling well, please keep them home. They must be fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication and their symptoms must improve before sending them back to school. Using a humidifier at night helps with congestion, as well as nightly allergy medication. Please keep up to date with your child’s immunizations. We will continue to send out notices for those who are not compliant. Proof of current immunizations is required for school attendance under Arizona State Law. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to the health office. Fun Fact: Your Eye is your fastest muscle Oct 1 is National Coffee Day Oct 4 is Taco Day   Character Strong -Responsibility This month we are talking about Responsibility. One way to define Responsibility is “taking action and understanding the impact of our choices.” Taking action can mean doing the right thing or completing the tasks you have been assigned. Understanding the impact of our choices means that our actions matter. Positive and responsible actions can help people and irresponsible actions can hurt others.    Volunteers Warren loves having volunteers on our campus.
