Wildcat Families,
Today, our district responded to a real safety concern that required a lockdown. We are happy to report that staff and students responded quickly and followed established safety protocols to help keep everyone safe.
As planned, this week our district will also conduct important safety drills for fire, tornado, and lockdown response. These drills give students and staff the opportunity to practice how to respond safely in an emergency.
Your student may come home talking about today’s events or the upcoming drills, or may have questions. We encourage you to listen, reassure them, and remind them that practice helps us stay prepared.
Thank you for your support in helping us keep our schools safe!

📣 New for the 2026–2027 School Year: ParentSquare!
As we begin a new school year, we’re excited to introduce ParentSquare, our new parent-teacher communication platform for families across Warsaw R-IX. ParentSquare replaces the previously used Remind platform and provides families, teachers, and coaches who choose to use it with a convenient way to stay connected.
📱 Families should have received an invitation to join ParentSquare. Your student’s teacher should automatically be connected to you through the platform.
To make sure you receive messages, please ensure you are using the email address and phone number your school has on file.
ℹ️ ParentSquare replaces Remind for parent-teacher communication, but it DOES NOT replace the Infinite Campus Parent Portal or the Warsaw R-IX app. Families should continue using those platforms as they normally do.
❓ Have questions or need help getting connected? Please contact your student’s building front office for assistance.
As we get started with a new program, we appreciate your patience and understanding as we learn ParentSquare together! If you discover a helpful feature, a fun tool, or run into something that doesn’t seem to be working quite right, we’d love to hear about it! Your feedback will help us learn and improve together as we get comfortable with ParentSquare. 💚🐾
