❇️ Meet Mrs. Lawrence! ❇️ We’re excited to welcome Kylee Lawrence back to Warsaw Schools!

💪✨ Please help us extend a huge thanks to our incredible maintenance & custodial crew — the behind-the-scenes heroes of summer! From shining up floors and installing tile to deep cleaning every corner, they’ve been hard at work making our buildings shine and sparkle for the new school year. 🧼🛠️💚 Your Wildcat family appreciates each and every one of you! 🙌🏼 #WildcatTradition #Pride #Excellence #AppreciationPost

During the next couple of weeks, expect some changes to traffic flow at the high school entry area. There will be a change from using the lower driveway to using the straight drive through that goes towards the bus barn. The straight drive through will not be asphalted yet, but when they begin asphalting there could be some delays. Their goal is to start the asphalt during the week of 8/4, which will be our athletic dead week.  
Once again, thank you for your flexibility as we work through these changes.
