A Message From The Principal
Greeting!
It seems as if time is flying. I am excited for those students who will soon earn their first 2 credits. Reminder as a parent you are able to have real time access to students grades and assignments by signing up as an observer in canvas. Instructions are provided below.
Again, friendly reminder students should be bringing their Chromebooks to school daily. We are not sharing supplies or devices as a preventative method to assist in keeping students safe. Chromebook needs or issues should be reported to front office staff.
September 4, 2020 is the last day of rotation one. Students are expected to have completed at least their first 2 credits of the school year. If student stay on track they have the potential of earning above and beyond the normal amount of credits by the end of the year.
Students should be checking email, canvas, and synergy accounts daily. Teacher's are regularly updating courses and checking work.
As always, thank you for allowing us to serve you student and please reach out with any questions or concerns.
Picture Day All In-Person and Virtual Students
All students should be appropriately dressed for pictures. Head gear and face coverings must be removed.
Once we receive student IDs we will reach out to virtual students regarding pick-up. Information on how to purchase school pics will also be sent out in the near future.

Need Help with Navigating Canvas....Check out the enclosed video!
The video below is a tutorial on how to access Canvas and to navigate it. Thank you to WCHS Math Teacher, Mrs. Julie Ritchie for this easy to understand video.
Please note: The video is an example from an Algebra 1 class. You may not be in this class or have this teacher, but it is will still help you with any of your classes.
School District Publications/News Media Use
The occasion may arise when the school district wants to recognize your child or your child's school. This may include your child's photo, your child's name or your child's work in district publications, newsletters, on school district websites, and in electronic/social media or in staff training videos. We may also want to tell the media (including newspapers, television, and radio) about your child's achievements. We never knowingly release information about a student to anyone who wants to use it for commercial/political purposes. However, we will honor your request to not include your child in these types of recognition if you notify your child's school office in writing that you do not want this type of information released.
Immunizations Reminders
In order for our schools to be in compliance with the state laws regarding immunizations, please make sure that your student(s) have their updated information on file with your school's nursing staff. All student vaccines must be on file and up to date by September 21, 2020 to avoid exclusion. Please make your school's nursing staff aware of any upcoming appointments for vaccines, or if there are any medical or religious objections to your student receiving his or her vaccines
Also, PLEASE inform your school's nurse of any chronic health conditions that the school should be made aware of, and that your student's medical emergency information is up to date.

New Student Information System-- Synergy
Warren is excited to announce that we have upgraded to a new student information system called Synergy. This means that our old parent portal, Tyler, will be going away. Instead, the parent portal will be upgraded to Synergy’s ParentVUE. ParentVUE is an online tool to help you monitor your student’s education. It allows you to update contact information and provides you with access to the latest information about your child’s attendance and scheduling. Our middle and high school families can view class assignments, report card grades, and course history with ParentVUE.
Once ParentVUE is available, parents who have a previous Tyler account will receive an email with instructions about setting up your new username and password. If you do not have a Tyler SIS account, please complete a registration form located on our parent portal webpage and return it to your school to begin the process of activating your account.
ParentVUE is a great way to stay connected with your student's school and track their academic progress. It also helps us stay in contact with you!
