Good evening Warlick Families,

This is Principal LeFevers calling with the weekly message. This week, we will be releasing information regarding testing results and school growth from last school year. Please keep an eye out for upcoming news and results. These will be posted on our school page and website!

All 7th and 12th grade families should have gotten a letter regarding required immunizations. Students who do not have the required immunizations by the noted date in September will be excluded from school. Please contact Nurse Wise if you have any questions.

A notification regarding a negative cafeteria balance was sent through the LINQ School Nutrition system in error. Please disregard the message. No action is required in response to that notification. We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this may have caused.

As a reminder, In person students are expected to be at school Monday-Thursday from 8:30-2:30 and Friday from 8:30-12:30. Students who are approved by administration to be virtual must work 2 hours a day to be counted present. Guardians, virtual absences do still count towards truancy so make sure you are checking in with your student!

Guardians, we need your help. We are seeing an increase in students coming in out of dress code and bringing items such as phones, airpods, etc to school. Please be advised that if we do not have clothes that will fit your student, we will be calling for them to either have clothes brought to the school or for them to go home. Thank you in advance for ensuring students are prepared to have a good day. We also are collecting gently used sweats, tshirts, slides and Croc type shoes to refill our clothing closet!

Save the Date! Thursday, September 17 @ 6:00 PM we will be hosting a virtual parent night to discuss the mental health resources we have available for your student at Warlick. During this session, you will hear from our school social worker, Mrs. Lynch, and our school based therapist, Mrs. Ervin, as they discuss the design of our program and the benefits it can have for your student. We hope all families will take time to log in. Thank you again for your support and for another great week at Warlick Academy!
