Welcome back, Warren Students, Families, and Staff!
I sincerely hope you had a fun and relaxing fall break and are ready to go for a successful second quarter! I want to thank all of our parents and caregivers for engaging in our parent teacher conferences before break. While we have set aside this dedicated time to meet and collaborate, please know that our teachers and staff are available throughout the year to partner with you for your child’s academic success.
I want to give a #WarrenWill shout-out to our Warren Central High School Unified Flag Football team, who finished their season as State Finals Runner Up! It was their only loss of the season! A #WarrenWill shout-out also goes to the Warren Central High School Girls Flag Football team, who competed this past weekend in the final 8 teams in the state! Great job, players, coaches, and families!
Principal Appreciation Month
October is National Principal Appreciation Month, and I want to take this opportunity to recognize and celebrate each of our outstanding MSD Warren Township Principals. We are fortunate to have dedicated, compassionate, and student-centered leaders guiding our schools each day. Their commitment to excellence, staff support, and student success makes a lasting impact across our Warren community. Please take a moment to share your appreciation with them through a thank-you or encouraging note.
