South Elementary 1st grade students in Ms. Baxter's class have participated in Read Across America this week with independent reading time! #WildcatTradition #ReadAcrossAmerica






As we near the end of our current CSIP (Continuous School Improvement Plan), we’re excited to welcome back Dr. Kevin Daniel to help guide us through the development of our next plan.
Over the last two days & weeks ahead, our school community (comprised of staff, students, administrators & community members) will work together to reflect, plan, and set strategic goals for the years ahead.

South Elementary third graders recently researched a famous Missourian and brought history to life!
Each student dressed as their chosen Missourian and presented their research to the class. We had doctors, actresses, activists, entertainers, and athletes represented — and every student did an outstanding job sharing what they learned.
We are so proud of their hard work, creativity, and confidence! 👏🐾

After exploring simple machines, first graders in Ms. Baxter’s class built catapults and experimented with different variables to draw conclusions, solve problems, and think like young engineers! 🔧✨

Please help us thank our amazing transportation team! 🚌💚 From navigating snow-covered roads to adjusting routes as needed, they go above and beyond to keep student safety the top priority. We appreciate you! 👏



After driving our side roads after the temps started to drop and seeing the refreezing on some of those roads, Warsaw R-IX will not be in session tomorrow, Jan. 28th. This will be AMI DAY #3. We hope to not use snow routes on Thursday, but please review them in case.

Due to secondary and gravel road conditions, Warsaw R-IX is cancelling school for Tues, Jan. 27th. This will be AMI DAY #2.

Celebrating reading success at South Elementary! 🎉📖
South Elementary 2nd–5th grade students who reached their Accelerated Reader goals enjoyed a well-earned pizza celebration with Principal Warstadt. 🍕🥳
