Good Afternoon, Warren Scholars, Families, and Staff,

We have some important announcements for the week of September 11th. 

Child Nutrition Feedback 

As we enter the second month of the school year, we would like your feedback to help us improve our child nutrition services in partnership with our new food service provider, Aramark. Please take a moment to complete a short survey by scanning the QR code or accessing the link provided here. Your input is vital to ensuring the best possible experience for our students, and we greatly value your time and feedback. If you'd prefer to speak with someone directly, feel free to reach out to your child's principal or contact our Child Nutrition department.

Student and Staff Safety 

The day-to-day safety of our students and staff is the most important priority we have in each of Warren's schools and classrooms. Our safety protocols are continuously reviewed and updated to meet the highest standards, ensuring we are prepared to address any situation. From maintaining secure facilities to practicing emergency drills, we take every precaution to create a safe space for all of our students and staff.

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 this online safety form. You will be contacted by a District staff member as soon as possible with a follow-up. 

  • The HELPme app is now available to all Warren students, families, and staff. 

    • GET HELP can be used to anonymously request help from Warren school contacts, including Messenger which allows anonymous two-way communication between school contacts and help requesters.

    • CRISISTEXTLINE can be accessed directly from the app to text with non-local trained crisis counselors. 

    • GET RESOURCES can be used to search community, local, state, and federal resources and helplines. 

  • Contact our Warren Police Department at 317-532-5643 or police@warren.k12.in.us

  • Contact 911.
