About Warren Middle School Richard W. Warren Middle School opened in the fall of 2000 and was named after a long time educator and friend of Leavenworth. Warren enrolls approximately 380 students in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades annually. Each of the grade levels is housed in their own pod where students receive instruction in their core subject areas.
Each grade level team has six general education teachers and two special education teachers. Our grade level teams meet on a daily basis to discuss pedagogy relative to curricular issues, best teaching practices, technology, student concerns and use part of the time for implementation of Professional Learning Communities. The goal of our team planning approach is to ensure that students have a successful educational experience during their years at Warren.
Warren Middle School offers core classes in the subject areas of language arts, mathematics, science and social studies. Elective classes are offered in art, instrumental music, life tech, physical education and vocal music.
Progress reports are sent home every two to three weeks with students. Parents may also access grades, attendance and discipline reports through Parent Access. To sign up for this program, please call the office, as this is a tremendous way to oversee your student’s progress from home.
Co-curricular clubs are offered in a variety of areas after school for all students. Athletics are available for 7th and 8th grade students who meet eligibility standards established by the school and the Kansas State High School Activities Association. Our students may participate in boys or girls basketball, football, track, volleyball and wrestling.
Here at Warren, we believe that education requires the effort of students, teachers, administrators, and parents. Thus, we encourage parents to become involved in the school, and appreciate strong communication with parents. Together, we believe we can make Warren a tremendous experience for out students.
Core Values
- We treat all people with courtesy and respect.
- Each student has the right to learn.
- Our learning environment is emotionally and physically safe.
- All members of the Warren Community are active participants in the educational process.
- Our learning environment provides for individual learning and teaching styles.
Special Curricular Efforts Staff and students participate in a “family” structure, in which students and teachers from specific grade levels are located in one area. After 6th grade, students are assigned to a group of teachers where they will remain together throughout the rest of their time at Warren Middle School. Through this model, relationships between students and teachers are strengthened, as students do not change teachers every year. They become accustomed to the style and expectations of their “family” teachers and find better success. The support network is also strengthened for the student, as is the relationship between parents and teachers.
