Warsaw Schools has a new optional transportation app this year!

In July we will send out more information so that you can see your students' approximate pick-up/drop-off, bus number, bus stop location, etc. In the meantime, make sure that you complete registration, which will allow you to mark whether or not transportation is required!

Please note: For the first several days of school, please be at the bus stop 10 minutes early. It will take several days for routes to get worked out as riders are added and dropped throughout the first week (which affects route times). Drivers are working hard to get your kids to/from school safely.

The 2025-26 calendar can be found on our WCS website (link below) and will copies will be available at Open Houses in August!

Last year, Warsaw School's implemented new cell phone and attendance policies ensure a safe, focused and productive educational environment, as required by Indiana state laws.

Regular attendance is essential for academic success, and adherence to Indiana Code 20-33-2-14 mandates clear attendance procedures.

The cell phone policy, in accordance with Senate Bill 185, minimizes distractions, fostering a space conducive to learning and personal growth.

All students in Warsaw Community Schools have an assigned iPad. These are used in the classroom on a daily basis. Students in grades 5-12 are permitted to take these devices home on a nightly basis. Students in Grades K-4 are permitted to take these devices home for E-Learning days. All electronic devices have the potential to break. Warsaw Community Schools works with Secured Tech Solutions to provide families with an Accidental Damage Protection plan to pay for repairs for only $30/student.

The table below gives examples of device repair costs for families without Accidental Damage Protection coverage.
