Join us for K.I.D.S. Day!

Warwick Neck Elementary School is excited to welcome our newest Wildcats and their families on Wednesday, May 22, 2024 at 9:30 AM for a special Spring Orientation -known as K.I.D.S. Day ("Kindergarten Immersion and Discovery of School").

During this time, students will be introduced to our Kindergarten team, as well as the dedicated faculty and staff who will be here to help guide and support our students over the course of next year.

Parents, guardians, and families will also have a chance to gather important information to be ready for the first day of classes with various school and district officials.

Various informational tables and associated representatives will also be available, you can learn more about them here....

1.) Interested in being a chaperone or volunteer for your child's Kindergarten classroom? Visit the Volunteers of Warwick Schools website.

2.) Want to get involved in special events or activities at Warwick Neck with your child? Visit our Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) page here.

3.) The School Nurse also requested a medical history form, for each child, from the parents. Have questions in advance of the KIDS Day Orientation or first day of classes? Email Mrs. Joanne Pfeiler, our school nurse, here.

'24-25 School Year Overview Calendar - Coming Soon!

Start of School -- Fall 2024

The tentative First Day of School is Tuesday, September 3, 2024. Our 2024-2025 overview calendar will be available soon. (Note: A separate calendar of special events will be released to all school families, once plans are finalized, in the Fall.)

Aside from the KIDS Day Orientation in May, 2024. the Kindergarten teachers are likely to offer another orientation day to the child with their parents, just prior to the first day of school, tentatively anticipated for late August. Due to the second phase of summer construction at our school, classroom and building tours will most likely be unavailable and the orientation will be held outside in front of Warwick Neck. The Orientation should ideally allow you to drop-off your child's supplies and for you to officially "meet" their designated teacher for the 2024-2025 year (teachers are assigned and provided to parents/students upon arrival at the end of August).

See the complete faculty and staff list (photo directory) for Warwick Neck School here -- or access a non-photo paper based copy, for downloading and easy offline reference, here.

The district provides all of the necessary supplies children need to be successful in school. However, we realize that some families may wish to add on additional items. You may view the suggested supplies for Kindergarten here.

Is your child possibly taking the school bus? Our transportation department will be reaching out via email with your child's assigned bus stop prior to the First Day of School. To gain a sense of where these stops are located right now --- and your potential spot, you may want to view this year's information here.

Parent & Family Involvement

Parents, guardians, and families are invited to become members of our school's Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) - recently designated as a "National PTA School of Excellence!" Discover more about this hard working group of adults who strive to make the student and family experience better at Warwick Neck School here!

(Note: Any volunteers in school or active members of the PTA must complete a criminal background check (BCI) and provide the results in hard-copy to the school office. Any Warwick Police Station can help complete it, or you may undertake this process through the Volunteers of Warwick Schools.)
