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!
We kicked off an amazing first day with our Vikings and couldn’t be more excited for the year ahead. Welcome back — let’s make it legendary!

Happy summer, Vikings!
We had an amazing time celebrating our students' outstanding achievements at the second semester SAIL Awards Assemblies! By embodying the values of Safety, Accountability, and Independent Learning, our Viking community showcased its incredible potential. It was truly inspiring to share this experience with so many families and guests, and we're proud of every single one of our students for their contributions to a phenomenal year!
It is just a few steps away, but our fifth grade Vikings took a big jump yesterday from the world they know at Warwood Elementary over to Warwood Middle School! We had a memorable time reflecting on their accomplishments during our Promotion assembly. They have grown so much this year in all of the ways: socially, academically, and in kindness. Thank you, 5th graders, for your great contributions to our school. We know you’ll do great things as you SAIL into the future!
Good morning Viking families,
Due to the rain, 5th grade guests are invited inside for the clap out. Please enter through the elementary main office beginning at 8:50 this morning.
Thank you!
