OPE families,
All year the wonderful parents running the Otto Petersen Parent Organization (OPPO) have supported the school in a multitude of ways. Buying Chromebooks, providing support for SBAC testing, purchasing equipment, financing stipends for classrooms and SO much more.
I am immensely grateful for their support and recognize how much they give to the school. As a past PTA parent, I also recognize the struggle in attracting new members. Sometimes people worry that there is too much time commitment. Worry that they will be asked to head up committees or become a board member. Worry that they can only attend some of the meetings.
And yes, those things MIGHT happen.
But there are so many more reasons that attending meetings is beneficial to you and your child(ren).
First, you get to help decide where funds are spent.
You get to hang out with some great people.
You get a behind-the-scenes look at school operations.
Don’t want to chair a committee or commit to being a board member - besides saying “no” you can always co-chair these assignments. Having a partner can lighten the load and make it a little more enjoyable!
Here are some other reasons to consider joining the OPPO …

Scappoose Families,
Your district code is MQ7B
So that you are aware, one limitation of the system is that each bus can only have one route assigned. That means that on early release Wednesday, the app will not show the bus. This is a known issue, and the developers are working to resolve the issue.
Firstview has a great customer service team, and they are the ones to contact for support. The district cannot help with any issues during the installation or use of the app.
Contact FirstView Monday – Friday (Support provided in English only):
o Calling the toll-free phone number 888-889-8920 from 7:00 a.m. EST to 5:00 p.m. EST
o Emailing Customer Support at support@firstviewapp.com
o Using the in-app “” button to provide feedback
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.
