All meals must be eaten on-site, and menus will be available online at www.wcsdpa.org under the “Summer Food Service Program” tab.. The district will announce any changes to dates, times, or sites via signage, its website, mobile app, and the Warren County School District Facebook page.
The program is a collaboration between the Warren County School District, city of Warren and Sheffield Township. Organizations offering summer programming and interested in becoming a Summer Food Service Program site can call Jones at 814-723-6900 or email jonesm@wcsdpa.org.
The Warren County School District (WCSD) will hold a practice run for all bus routes serving the Western Attendance Area on August 12, 2025, starting in the early morning.
The primary goal of the test run is for bus drivers to complete their designated routes and arrive at the Youngsville Elementary/Middle School transition point. The exercise will allow district staff and their bus contractors to identify any routes that may require additional adjustments to ensure timely and efficient service for all students.
Residents in the area should be aware that they will see school buses on the roads during the morning hours. Bus drivers will be stopping at designated bus stops along their routes to simulate the process of picking up students. However, no children will be on board the buses during this test run.
The district appreciates the community's understanding and cooperation as it prepares for a successful and safe school year.

Warren County School District's Important Dates for Students for the 2025-2026 School Year
Weekly Math Fun: Lemonade Stand Learning! 🍋📊
This week, bring math to life with a pretend or real lemonade stand! Whether you're indoors with stuffed animal customers or outside with friends and neighbors, this fun activity is packed with
opportunities to build math skills through play.
Try These Add-On Challenges:
🧮 Set a Budget – Give your child a pretend budget to “buy” ingredients and supplies. Can they stay within it and still turn a profit?
📋 Create a Menu – Let them design a menu with prices, discounts (like 2 for $1), or combo deals that involve multi-step math.
📊 Customer Survey – Have kids ask customers for their favorite lemonade flavor and use tally marks or a simple bar graph to show the results.
💡 Reflect Together – After the stand closes, ask:
“What was the most popular item?”
“How much money did you earn?”
“What would you do differently next time?”
This sweet setup builds planning, problem-solving, and real-world math confidence in a way that’s refreshing and fun.
Stay tuned for next week’s post with another hands-on way to explore math at home! ✨📐

Weekly Math Fun: Hop Into Learning with Math Fact Hopscotch! 🎯✏️
Looking for an energetic way to practice math facts? Head outside and turn your sidewalk into a math-powered playground with Math Fact Hopscotch! This twist on a classic game helps kids build math fluency while keeping their bodies active and engaged.
Use sidewalk chalk to create a hopscotch grid and fill each square with math problems instead of numbers. As your child hops through the course, they’ll solve each fact before jumping—turning each step into a math win!
Want to challenge older learners?
✅ Focus on higher multiplication and division facts
✅ Add two-step problems or missing-number equations
✅ Make it a timed challenge to encourage speed and accuracy
Math in motion strengthens focus, improves memory, and makes practice feel like play.
Stay tuned for next week’s post for another fun, movement-based math idea! 🧠🏃♂️📐

Weekly Math Fun: Road Trip Math! 🚗🧮
Headed out on a summer adventure? Make the most of your travel time with math games on the go! Road trips are the perfect setting for fun, low-prep activities that strengthen math thinking while you watch the world go by.
In addition to license plate math (see image), try these:
🗺️ Toll Booth Tracker – Predict how many toll booths you’ll pass or how much you’ll spend. Add the amounts along the way!
⛽ Gas Budgeting Game – Estimate how much gas you’ll need. Have your child track mileage, price per gallon, and total cost at each stop.
🍟 Snack Sale Challenge – Pretend you’re running a snack shop in the car. Assign prices to items and have your child “buy” them using mental math.
📦 Road Sign Geometry – Look for shapes in road signs (octagons, triangles, rectangles) and track how many of each you find.
🔟 Skip Count Challenge – Pick a number (like 3 or 5) and skip count each time you see a billboard, red car, or road sign.
Whether you're traveling across states or just across town, these math activities turn the journey into a classroom on wheels.
Stay tuned for next week’s post, where we’ll share another creative way to keep math learning fun all summer long! ☀️📊
Have a safe and happy Fourth of July!
🌿 Take Math Outside!
A simple walk becomes a fun math adventure when kids count, compare, and estimate along the way.
From tallying leaves to predicting steps, nature offers endless opportunities to explore math through movement and curiosity.
This low-prep activity builds number sense, sorting skills, and early estimation—all while getting some fresh air! 🌳📊
📊 Sort and Compare:
– Sort objects by size, color, or type
– Ask: "Did we find more small rocks or large ones?"
– Use tally marks or create a simple bar graph when you return home
Why It’s Great:
✔ Builds counting, sorting, comparing, and measurement skills
✔ Encourages observation and curiosity
✔ Turns everyday moments into hands-on learning
Whether it’s a short walk or an afternoon hike, math is everywhere in nature—you just have to look for it!
Our partner at the Sheffield Memorial Park has informed us that they will be closed today, Tuesday, June 24th, due to the continuing hot weather. Summer Food Service meals will be available at Beaty Warren Middle School as scheduled.
The Park expects to be open for the remainder of this week.
💦 Water Balloon Math: Cool Off & Learn!
Turn summer fun into brain-boosting play! Water Balloon Math mixes movement and math to help kids build fact fluency in an exciting, active way.
💡 Why it works:
This game strengthens number recall, coordination, and processing speed—all while keeping kids engaged outdoors. It’s perfect for kinesthetic learners who thrive on hands-on activities.
Associating physical activity with problem-solving strengthens memory and keeps learners more engaged than flashcards or worksheets alone.
🎯 Pro Tips:
Let kids write the problems on the balloons for extra practice.
Use different colors for different operations (blue for addition, red for multiplication).
Add a reflection: Which problems were trickiest? How fast did you solve them?
Water Balloon Math turns your yard into a learning playground—and proves that summer learning can be just as fun as it is refreshing!
A splash of fun + a dash of learning = summer math success!
