Good Afternoon, Warren Scholars, Families, and Staff,
We have a few important announcements for the week of December 18th.
I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to our incredible Warren staff for their unbelievable commitment to our students and families. We are truly fortunate to have such amazing people in our schools. This first semester has been both busy and successful for our schools, thanks to your hard work and support.
As we approach the winter break, I want to wish everyone in the Warren community a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year! We look forward to continuing our success together in 2025.
This past weekend, a threatening post was made on social media that included schools in Warren and Lawrence Township. I want to thank the students, parents, staff, and community members who shared this information with us. The post was deemed not credible and was identified as a similar post that was made a couple of years ago. Our administrators and our Warren Police worked closely with IMPD and Lawrence Township to identify the individual who made the post. The individual was not a Warren student and has been arrested.
We ask for everyone’s continued partnership in reinforcing these efforts by remaining vigilant, reporting concerns, and encouraging open communication. I have provided some of the resources we have available in Warren to help communicate safety concerns.
Contact your child’s teacher or principal through email, phone
call
, or in person.
Report of a safety concern or bullying incident can be done by calling 317-532-3049 or by completing
