PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Dear Brookview Families,
Summertime is almost here however learning does not stop! Parents are the best source of support to make sure that children continue to keep their minds and bodies active during the summer.
Why is learning during the summer so important?
Children risk losing academic skills and knowledge during the summer months due to a lack of inactivity.
Here are a few suggestions to support summer learning:
Summer Academic Programs. Research a low-cost, high quality summer learning program in your community. These program help students retain information and gain valuable new skills in reading, math and can stimulate creativity.
Family Fun. Read to your child, visit local libraries, museums, universities and cultural events.
Ask your child’s teacher to recommend free age appropriate educational activities that can be assessed online or books to check out at the public library.
Stay Active and get healthy. Put down the video games, turn off the T.V. and keep your child moving with physical exercise that encourages learning. For example, create a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood.
Being intentional about summer activities can play an important role in advancing your child’s learning for the next school year.
Thank you so much for allowing me to service your child this academic school year.
With gratitude,
Mrs. April Price

SUMMER FEEDING PROGRAM BEGINS JUNE 10th
Looking Ahead to the 2019-20 School Year
First, I would like to thank our Warren students, families, staff, and community for a successful 2018-19 school year. Our class of 2031 is finishing up their first year of school while our class of 2019 is completing their last year and will start their next chapter after June 5th. The future is bright for all of our students!!
As we maintain our focus on ending this school year, we are excited for things to come in the
2019-20 school year. Below are a few of the highlights. Please be sure to download our Warren app and check our website regularly for updated information and events.
Kindergarten Enrollment Age
During the 2019 legislative session, the enrollment age for Kindergarten was changed from
August 1 to September 1. Students who will turn 5 on or before August 1st will be eligible to
enroll in Kindergarten. For those students who turn 5 between August 2 - 31, families will be
asked to submit a waiver for early entrance. Warren will not accept students who turn 5 after
September 1. This information will be available on our website and during registration on
July 16, 2019 from 12:00 - 8:00.
Focus on the Freshman - Destination: Graduation Class of 2023
We know when students transition from their middle school setting to the high school setting,
there is a lot to consider and a lot of need for support. This school year, we implemented a
cohort model at the high school where students are supported by an administrator, two
counselors, and an academic coach. Next year, Mr. Jacob (admin), Mrs. Bush (academic coach),
Mrs. Thomas, (cohort secretary), Mr. Clark (counselor) and Mrs. Schwering (counselor) will be supporting the incoming freshman class. This team has visited with 8th graders and talked to them about changes they will experience as a high school student. They have created a text hotline for freshman to send and receive information. Students and families can text the message @99bd4k8 to 81010 to join this group. Orientation sessions are being held on July 23 and July 24, 2019. More information will be available on the high school webpage and through social media.
Community Eligibility Provision (CEP)
At the May 15, 2019 MSD Warren School Board Meeting, the board approved to implement the Community Eligibility Provision to allow all MSD Warren students to have access to free lunch in addition to free breakfast during the school year. This program is available to all students in every MSD Warren school. It is important to note that this program is not related to textbook rental. Families who need textbook rental support will still be required to complete a Textbook Rental application after July 1, 2019. More information can be found on our website.
Three Tier Bussing - School Start Times
Beginning in the 2019-20 school year, Warren will be implementing a three tier transportation
schedule. As a result, there are new school start times for our students. These changes will allow us to provide a safer and more efficient transportation experience for our students. More information will be available on our website and at registration in July.
High School (9-12) - 7:15AM - 2:20PM
Elementary School (K-4) - 8:05AM - 3:05PM
Intermediate/Middle School (5-8) - 8:55AM - 3:55PM
Warren Early Childhood Center & Renaissance - 8:55AM - 3:55PM
The 5-8 Experience - 1 Intermediate/Middle School
In an effort to provide our students, families and staff a more coherent 4-year experience in
grades 5 thru 8, MSD Warren will be moving from a two-school model to a one school model.
Currently, our students spend two years in the intermediate academy and another two years at the middle school. Beginning in the 2019-20 school year, our students will spend 4 years in their intermediate/middle school. Within this model, there is one school principal with an
administrator and counselor supporting each grade level. These support teams will travel with the students from year to year. This will allow them to build significant relationships with their students and families over the 4 years. This model will lessen transitions for students and families, create common expectations and procedures during the 4 years, allow for more
extracurricular access to 5th and 6th graders, and create a single identity for the school
community. Registration for the intermediate/middle school level is July 17, 2019 from 12:00 - 8:00.
Supporting the Whole Child - Social Emotional Curriculum
In the 2019-20 school year, to support the board goal of supporting the whole child by
providing the instruction and support for the development of their social and emotional well-being to ensure our students are socially and emotionally strong, every K-8 student will receive direct instruction in social emotional skills using the Second Steps curriculum. To ensure coherence, PBIS Tier 1 teams will work this summer to create a scope and sequence, as well as roll out plans that align with other building initiatives and goals. We look forward to the enhanced experiences and strengthened relationships our students will foster with the new skills acquired this upcoming school year.
School Counselors - K-12
For the first time in Warren, all students in grades K-12 will have access to a school counselor. Our focus on social and emotional needs of students has reinforced to us that students having access to school counselors grades K-12 is a priority. Our school counselors will assist with identifying student needs through the use of data, consulting with teachers, administrators and families. They will use this data to design instructional plans to support student academic, career and social/emotional development in addition to balancing delivery methods, recognizing that students learn in multiple ways. The end result of this work will be reflected in improvement in academic, attendance and behavioral outcomes related to academic development, college and career readiness and social/emotional development.
Mirando hacia adelante para el año escolar 2019-2020
Mirando hacia adelante para el año escolar 2019-2020
Primero, me gustaría agradecer a nuestros estudiantes, familias, personal y comunidad de Warren por un exitoso año escolar 2018-19. Nuestra clase de 2031 está terminando su primer año de clases, mientras que nuestra clase de 2019 está completando su último año y comenzará su próximo capítulo después de 5 de junio. ¡El futuro es brillante para todos nuestros estudiantes!
Al mantener nuestro enfoque en finalizar este año escolar, estamos entusiasmados por lo que vendrá en el año escolar 2019-2020. Abajo se encuentran algunos aspectos importantes. Por favor, asegúrese de descargar nuestra aplicación de Warren en su teléfono de celular y visite regularmente nuestro sitio web para obtener información actualizada de eventos.
Edad de inscripción en kindergarten
Durante la sesión legislativa de 2019, la edad de inscripción para kínder se cambió del 1 de agosto al 1 de septiembre. Los estudiantes que cumplan 5 años antes del 1 de agosto serán elegibles para inscribirse en kindergarten. Para aquellos estudiantes que cumplan 5 años entre 2 y 31 de agosto, se les pedirá a las familias que presenten una exención para la entrada anticipada. Warren no aceptará estudiantes que cumplan 5 años después del primer de setiembre 1. Esta información estará disponible en nuestro sitio web y durante la inscripción el 16 de julio de 2019 de medio día a las 20:00.
Enfoque en el estudiante de primer año - Destino: Graduación de 2023
Sabemos que cuando los estudiantes hacen la transición de la escuela intermedia a la escuela secundaria, necesitan mucho apoyo de la escuela y de la familia. Por esta razón, este año escolar implementamos en la secundaria un grupo de personales donde los estudiantes son apoyados por un administrador, dos consejeros y un instructor didáctico. El próximo año, el Sr. Jacob (administrador), la Sra. Bush (instructora didáctica), Sra. Thomas, (secretaria do grupo), Sr. Clark (consejero) y Sra. Schwering (consejera) apoyarán a los estudiantes de primer año de secundaria. Esto equipo he visitado los estudiantes de 8º grado y ha hablado con ellos sobre los cambios que experimentarán como estudiantes de secundaria. Han creado una línea directa de texto para que los estudiantes de primer año envíen y reciban información. Los estudiantes y las familias pueden enviar un mensaje de texto al 99bd4k8 en 81010 para unirse a este grupo. Las sesiones de orientación se realizarán el 23 y 24 de julio de 2019. Más información estará disponible en la página web de la escuela secundaria y en las redes sociales.
Provisión de Elegibilidad Comunitaria (CEP)
En la reunión de la Junta Escolar del Distrito de Warren del 15 de mayo de 2019, fue aprobado la Provisión de Elegibilidad Comunitaria, es decir que, todos los estudiantes de MSD Warren tendrán acceso a desayuno y almuerzo gratis a partir del próximo año escolar. Este programa estará disponible para todos los estudiantes en todas las escuelas del distrito de Warren. Es importante tener en cuenta que este programa no está relacionado con el alquiler de libros de texto. Las familias que necesiten asistencia para el alquiler de libros de texto todavía deberán completar una solicitud después del 1 de julio de 2019. Puede encontrar más información en nuestro sitio web.
El Transporte Escolar – Horarios de inicio de la escuela
A partir del año escolar 2019-2020, Warren implementará un programa de trasporte de tres niveles. Como resultado, hay nuevos horarios de inicio de clases para nuestros estudiantes. Estos cambios nos permitirán brindar una experiencia de transporte más segura y eficiente para nuestros estudiantes. Más información estará disponible en nuestro sitio web y en el registro en julio.
Escuela secundaria (grados 9-12) - 7:15AM - 2:20PM
Escuela primaria (grados K-4) - 8:05AM - 3:05PM
Escuela Intermedia (grados 5-8) - 8:55AM - 3:55PM
Preescuela - Warren Early Childhood Center & Renaissance - 8:55AM - 3:55PM
Experiencia de la Escuela Intermedia (grados 5-8)
En la tentativa de mejorar la experiencia de nuestros estudiantes, las familias y el personal de los grados 5 a 8, el Distrito de Warren pasará de un modelo de dos escuelas a un modelo de una escuela. Actualmente, nuestros estudiantes pasan dos años en la academia intermedia (grados 5 y 6) y otros dos años en la escuela intermedia (grados 7 y 8). A partir del año escolar 2019-2020, nuestros estudiantes pasarán 4 años en la academia/escuela intermedia (una suela escuela). Dentro de este modelo hay un director de escuela con un administrador y un consejero que apoyan cada nivel de grado. Estos equipos de apoyo van a moverse con los estudiantes año tras año. Esto les permitirá establecer relaciones significativas con sus estudiantes y las familias durante los 4 años. Este modelo disminuirá las transiciones para los estudiantes y las familias, creará expectativas y procedimientos comunes, permitirá más acceso extraescolar a los alumnos de 5º y 6º grado y creará una identidad única para la comunidad escolar. La inscripción para el nivel de escuela intermedia es el 17 de julio de 2019 del medio día a las 20 horas.
Apoyando el niño en su totalidad – El desarrollo social y emocional
En el año escolar 2019-2020, el objetivo de la junta es apoyar al niño en su totalidad brindando la instrucción y el desarrollo de su bienestar social y emocional. Para garantizar que nuestros estudiantes sean social y emocionalmente fuertes, todos los estudiantes de kínder a 8º grado recibirán instrucción directa en habilidades socioemocionales usando el plan de estudios de Segundos Pasos. Los equipos de Nivel 1 (Tier 1) de PBIS trabajarán este verano para crear un plan y secuencia, así como desenvolver planes que se alinean con otras iniciativas y metas de las otras escuelas. Esperamos que estas nuevas experiencias fortalezcan la relación con nuestros estudiantes en el próximo año escolar.
Consejero Escolar grados: kindergarten a 12
Por primera vez en Warren, todos los estudiantes en los grados K-12 tendrán acceso a un consejero escolar. Nuestro enfoque en las necesidades sociales y emocionales de los estudiantes nos ha confirmado que los estudiantes que tienen acceso a los consejeros escolares de los grados k-12 son una prioridad. Nuestros consejeros escolares ayudarán a identificar las necesidades de los estudiantes a través del uso de datos, consultando con los maestros, administradores y familias. Utilizarán estos datos para diseñar planes de instrucción para apoyar el desarrollo académico, profesional y social/emocional de los estudiantes, reconociendo que aprenden de diversas maneras. El resultado final de este trabajo se reflejará en logros, de asistencia y de comportamiento relacionados con el progreso académico, la preparación universitaria y profesional y el desenvolvimiento socioemocional.PTA
