What a fun way to start American Education Week! We had our first day with Special Persons and the Book Fair, as well as a tasty reminder that School is Cool! thanks to Twin Pops Ziegenfelder! Our Vikings were so excited to share their school experience with loved ones!
The practice Lockdown is now complete. Thanks for working with us to ensure the safety of our students! Have a great day!
Good morning Viking families,
Our functional exercise has begun, and students are in a PRACTICE lockdown. Mr. Demarest and their teachers have reviewed procedures and assured students that they are safe. In a real emergency, we have contacts prepared to alert families through this same program. We will share in the same way when the practice is complete. Thank you!
This is a reminder that tomorrow, Friday, November 15, both Warwood Middle School and Warwood Elementary School will conduct a mock active threat lockdown drill in coordination with the Ohio County Command Center. Setup will begin at 8:45 a.m., and the drill is scheduled to start around 9:30 a.m. and last approximately 20-30 minutes.
During the drill, no one will be permitted to enter or exit the buildings. Thank you!

We will send a notification to families once the drill begins and again when it ends.
Drills like this is an essential part of our commitment to emergency preparedness and prevention.

Make-up picture day for students who were absent and/or anyone who would like a re-take is December 11th at 9:00am.
Taking an engaging look at the political process, 4th grade held their own election by reading the children's book, "Duck for President". They completed a graphic organizer on Farmer Brown and Duck's points of view on how to run a farm. The students made campaign signs and voted. Duck won in a landslide 31-11.
4th grade Vikings completed 4D triorama Halloween haunted houses: haunted houses and a story to accompany their design. They worked really hard and creatively on them!
Let's recognize our Viking scholars who earned academic honors and those with perfect attendance in the first quarter! Great work! None of this would be possible without our dedicated, supportive families!
November 12th-15th is Kindness Week!
Congratulations to Teegan for her hard work in participating in the Regional Literature Fair! While the competition was tough, her passion truly shone through. We are incredibly proud of the way she represented the Vikings! We can't wait to see what she'll accomplish next!

Please welcome our new Warwood Elementary Student Leadership Team! After a VERY close election, these students were chosen by their peers as homeroom representatives. We’re looking forward to learning from their expertise to improve the Viking experience!
We added a little fun to Halloween as we celebrated our students with perfect attendance in October. Thanks to Communities in Schools for organizing the fun for our students! Your Viking may not be able to attend every day, but attendance matters! We love seeing them!
We had so much fun showcasing our costumes and seeing our community’s support! A huge thanks to the Warwood Middle School band for leading the parade!
We had tricks, trunks, and treats at our Title I Family Trunk-or-Treat night last week! We loved seeing our Vikings’ costumes and their families!We had great support from our wonderful community. Thanks to all!
Red Ribbon Week was a blast here at Warwood Elementary! We kicked the festivities off with Corporal Martin and his K9 partner Ozzy! Students and staff joined in the fun while sporting cool hats, socks, sunglasses, red, and green. Lessons on staying healthy and being drug-free were thought provoking and helpful. Thanks to everyone for making this week memorable! The staff really did a fantastic job!
