Hello Lowell Families!

I hope all of you have had a fabulous week! I want to provide you with some important information regarding the start of the 2020-2021 school year.

MSD Warren Township has adjusted the starting date for this coming school year. The new date for students’ first day of school is Thursday, August 6th. MSD of Warren Township's S.A.F.E. Reopening Plan and new school calendar are available to download on our website and are also located in our school newsletter.

We are still offering instructional options in either the physical school setting or virtually for families who are not able or are uncomfortable returning to school on the scheduled start date. Please know that this coming Monday, July 20th is the LAST day to register for virtual school. To register for virtual learning, please contact us at 317-608-0545 or warrenregistration@warren.k12.in.us. Again, this weekend through Monday, July 20 is the last opportunity to register your student for the virtual option. Additional information about the virtual option can be found on the website and in our school newsletter.

Starting Monday, July 20th our office is open to accept new registrations by appointment only. Please contact us at 317-532-3900 if you have registration or enrollment needs.

We anticipate a greater number of car riders this school year. If your student(s) will be a car rider this school year please email our secretary Mrs. Coram at kcoram@warren.k12.in.us with your child's information in order to have your car rider signs ready on the 1st day of school. This will help make our car rider process much faster and efficient.

Lastly, due to our new start date, summer food distribution will continue next week on Tuesday and Friday from 11-1pm at our designated sites.

As always, thank you for your continued support of Lowell Elementary! Take care and have a great weekend!

Mrs. Griffin
