Message From the Principal

At Warrensburg Elementary School, we believe that all students should have opportunities to thrive and reach their full potential. Our school is supported by dedicated teachers, staff, counselors, and many others who contribute to a strong educational program encompassing academics, behavioral support, and social-emotional learning. Together, we collaborate to use our collective knowledge to provide students with the best education possible.

We believe that academics, social-emotional learning, and character education are equally important in elementary education. Helping students build strong character—including integrity, empathy, and gratitude—is essential to becoming successful individuals and responsible citizens in our community, country, and world. Our students understand that “Being Safe, Being Respectful, and Being Responsible” is a vital part of being a member of our school community.

The Warrensburg Elementary School offers many opportunities for our students, parents, and community. On this page, you can find out more about our “In The Zone” program, the extracurriculars we offer, our PTSA, our partnership with The Positivity Project, and more.

As a parent, I believe that open lines of communication are essential. If you have any questions, concerns, or feedback, please feel free to contact my office to schedule a time to meet.

Sincerely,
Keith LaLone, Elementary School Principal
