Attention 11th and 12th Grade Students!
Enrollment in Spring Semester 2024 is just around the corner for all the dual enrollment colleges and universities that have partnered with the Warren County School District. The WCSD wants to remind students and parents that student tuition will be paid through the approved grant that was offered to the district last fall. Please speak with your school counselor on the various options for the spring semester.
Internet and phone systems have been restored in the district.
WCSD internet and phone system are currently offline due to a tree down on lines provided by our internet service provider. Phone calls cannot be received to the buildings. We do not have an estimated time of when we will be back online at this point.
An application is being prepared by the Warren County School District to compete for funds to provide a continuation of afterschool and summer programming through the Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Center Grant for students in Grades K-5.
The WCSD is committed to providing the best educational experience for students in Grades K-5. As part of this commitment, we are conducting a needs assessment to determine the afterschool and summer services that are most necessary for elementary students and their families.
Your input is essential in helping us understand your needs and shape our afterschool and summer program offerings.
Please take a few moments to complete this survey. The survey will close on November 3, 2023. Thank you!

October is Bullying Prevention Month. We recognize that for many adults talking about bullying with children — of any age — can be challenging. It’s incredibly important that we practice and develop this skill, because nearly 60% of children never reveal to a trusted adult that they have been victims of bullying. Our experts help to address this challenge in the article, https://wcsdpa.onlinesafetyhub.io/parent/conversation-starters/online-bullying#!
By starting with age-specific advice, conversation starters and suggested actions, parents can gain a deeper understanding of their child’s experience and learn why children often struggle to communicate about this important topic.
