Warsaw Community School's 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.
