High Ability Program

Warren's High Ability Program is designed to meet the unique academic needs of gifted and talented students. The curriculum in these classes is differentiated and faster paced and students will be working above grade level if they qualify. As a district, we look at all students in grades 1, 4, 6 and 8 to see if they qualify for the following school year based on eligibility criteria. Parent recommendations are considered along with achievement scores when determining placement in high ability. More detailed identification information can be found here. If you would like to complete a recommendation for the broad based planning committee to consider you can do so here 2020-2021 High Ability Parent Recommendation Form The parent recommendation form will be open until January 31, 2020.

Dress Code Change

Parents, we have made an adjustment to our dress code. Students no longer have to wear a collared shirt. Students can wear any full length shirt with a modest neckline that is free of inappropriate images and language. Pants still need to be khakis or jeans, no sweat pants, yoga pants or leggings. That is the only change to the dress code.

The new version is in the link below.

Your decision to get a flu shot or not goes well beyond you. It also affects the many lives you touch...

Flu symptoms may include fever, headache, extreme tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and muscle aches. The best way to protect your family from new influenza strains is to get vaccinated each year.

Please stay healthy during the coming Holiday Season by using good handwashing techniques and keeping the following areas germ free in your home:

1) Telephones (have you cleaned your cell phone lately?)

2) Appliances such as a refrigerator and microwave.

3) Faucets

4) Light switches and door handles.

5) TV remotes

Enjoy a Happy and Healthy Holiday season!!!

Thank you,
