Warsaw Schools has a new optional transportation app this year! 

Between July 30 and August 4, we will be sending out more information through Parent Square, so that you can see your students' approximate pick-up/drop-off, bus number, bus stop location, etc. In the meantime, make sure that you complete registration, which will allow you to mark whether or not transportation is required! 

Please reach out to WCSTransportation@warsawschools.org between 6:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. for assistance.

Please note: For the first several days of school, please be at the bus stop 10 minutes early. It will take several days for routes to get worked out as riders are added and dropped throughout the first week (which affects route times). Drivers are working hard to get your kids to/from school safely. 

2025-26 Calendars

The 2025-26 calendar can be found on our WCS website (link below) and will copies will be available at Open Houses in August! 

Policy Reminders

Last year, Warsaw School's implemented new cell phone and attendance policies ensure a safe, focused and productive educational environment, as required by Indiana state laws. 

Regular attendance is essential for academic success, and adherence to Indiana Code 20-33-2-14 mandates clear attendance procedures. 

The cell phone policy, in accordance with Senate Bill 185, minimizes distractions, fostering a space conducive to learning and personal growth.
