October is Bullying Prevention Month. We recognize that for many adults talking about bullying with children — of any age — can be challenging. It’s incredibly important that we practice and develop this skill, because nearly 60% of children never reveal to a trusted adult that they have been victims of bullying. Our experts help to address this challenge in the article, https://wcsdpa.onlinesafetyhub.io/parent/conversation-starters/online-bullying#!
By starting with age-specific advice, conversation starters and suggested actions, parents can gain a deeper understanding of their child’s experience and learn why children often struggle to communicate about this important topic.
Substitute teaching is a great opportunity to be a mentor and help students become the best versions of themselves. Warren County School District partners with Kelly Education, a leading provider of substitute teachers to school districts across the U.S. to manage our substitute program. To learn more or apply for substitute teacher positions in the District, please contact Kelly Education by completing the Inquiry Form below and a recruiter will follow up with you.

Beaty-Warren Middle School follows the Warren County School District policy and prohibits all forms of bullying by District students. Students who have had a conflict with a classmate and need support should promptly report this to the building principal, assistant principal, or school counselor. If your child tells you about any conflict, concern, or incident they need help with please notify the school immediately.
Please note the two most common issues guardians are having when accessing Rooms are:
1. Current email address does not match the email in our student information system.
2. You must be listed as a guardian in our student information system. Access does not go out to emergency contacts, only guardians.
If you are a guardain and have not received an email, please contact your child's school to update that information.

The commonwealth shall make FAPE available to a child with a disability eligible under IDEA until the student turns 22. Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a child eligible under IDEA who attains the age of twenty-one (21) years may remain enrolled in their resident district free of charge until their 22nd birthday.
