Congratulations to FES Educator Savannah Hudson for receiving a scholarship from Texas Farm Bureau to attend the National Ag in the Classroom Conference! While there, she explored an orchard, a hydroponic crate farming operation, and a local farmers market - bringing back real-world insights to share with the students and staff of Warren ISD.
Savannah also attended inspiring workshops, formed lasting professional connections, and discovered even more opportunities that Texas Farm Bureau provides for educators. 🌿✏️
We're so proud of her passion for learning and bringing agriculture education to her students at the elementary level! Thank you, Texas Farm Bureau, for making this incredible experience possible! 👏

Warren ISD was proud to be recognized at the 2025 JET Grant Award Presentation! 🎉

Let’s work together to keep our campus safe and healthy!

📢 Reminder from the Nurse’s Office – Medication Pickup As we wrap up the school year, parents/guardians are reminded to pick up any student medication (prescription or over-the-counter) from the nurse’s office by the last day of school. ⚠️ Medications cannot be stored over the summer and cannot be sent home with students. Any medication not picked up will be disposed of in accordance with FDA and Texas DSHS regulations. To arrange a pickup time or if you have questions, please contact the school nurse directly. Attention Parents and Guardians: If your child has a medical condition that requires emergency medication (e.g., EpiPen, inhaler, Diastat), a physician-completed action plan (for asthma, allergies, seizures, or diabetes), or dietary accommodations due to a food allergy, please check your child’s folder. School nurses are sending home the necessary forms for students with medical needs on file. These forms should be completed by your child’s physician over the summer and returned—along with any required medication—on the first day of school. Important: All medications must be brought to school by a parent or guardian. If you have any questions, please contact the school nurse. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!
