I want to personally thank all the families who have already participated in our Reading for Education fundraiser! We are on our way to reaching our goal, but we need everyone's help to make sure our teachers get the essential tools they need to help our students succeed.
If your family has not participated, there's still time!
This safe and easy fundraiser is 100% online so there is no face-to-face selling, collecting money, or delivering products. Your child will receive a prize just for participating, and more prizes will be awarded when goals are reached.
Please help now. It really will make a difference.

Attendance Matters!
Hello Viking Families, this is Warwood Elementary School Principal, Mr. Demarest. Today, an external lockdown was briefly called on the Warwood campus. This means that there was a potential threat in the vicinity of our school, but not on school grounds. We know this is concerning for parents, so I wanted to offer some transparency: external lockdowns are precautionary and do not affect the flow of the school day, only that students don't go outside during this time. This type of lockdown is often enacted under the recommendation of our police or resource officer due to a local concern. In this case, the Wheeling Police Department alerted us that a suspect fled from them near 11th Street and it was a safety concern. After the suspect had been apprehended, the police department shared that we were safe to lift the external lockdown. All students and staff handled the situation extremely well! I appreciate everyone's patience and concern today.
The External Lockdown at Warwood Elementary has been lifted. There is no longer any concern and our students will continue their day and dismissal as regularly scheduled. Thank you for your cooperation as we work to keep everyone safe!
Warwood Elementary is in a temporary External Lockdown due to a safety issue in the community. All school procedures will continue as normal. Students and staff will remain indoors and any visitors will be met outdoors with proper identification. If your student has an early dismissal, please call the office before arrival. We will update when the external lockdown has been lifted. Thank you
Day 1 = Success!
