Annual Asbestos Update

Extreme Heat: The district understands that while high heat may not warrant closing school, there are several
precautions that can be made to prevent heat related illness and provide for a safe, productive learning
environment.

SSD Extreme Heat Plan

SSD Extreme Heat Plan (Spanish) 

In the event of inclement weather snow/extreme heat conditions, the Scappoose School District will either start school with a 2-hour delay or completely cancel school. Busses will be delayed for 2 hours. For example, if your child usually gets picked up at 7:35 am, the bus should be at your stop at 9:35 am. Snow route information can be found here.

If the weather does not improve within the 2-hour delay, the remainder of the school day may be canceled. The decision to have a 2-hour delay or cancel school will be communicated through Scappoose School District’s School Messenger phone system. If school is cancelled, all after-school activities are cancelled, unless directed otherwise communicated by the Scappoose School District.

Each SSD family with an active phone number in ParentVue will receive a call and email, so if you miss the call, you will be able to read the message in your email. Please let the school office know if there have been any changes to your contact information.

Closure/ Delay Communications will be delivered though:

• BlackBoard Messaging system: email, app notification, automated phone calls
• District website
• School websites
• FlashAlert notifications SSD FlashAlert Page

Summary 2019 Warren Water Tests Results

In accordance with the District's radon plan, Scappoose School District began conducting testing for radon in late November and December at Scappoose Middle School and Otto Petersen Elementary School.  Scappoose Middle School results showed one room and one storage area had radon levels above the Environmental Protection Agency recommended action level of 4.0 pCi/L for short-term measurements.  Petersen Elementary School results showed some rooms located near and including the office also had results above the recommended level.

Based on the EPA and Oregon Health Authority recommendations for schools, we have begun steps for mitigation, as well as short-term and long-term testing to identify if additional mitigation is necessary.
