Why do you like Warder? Parent Perspective
My family has appreciated Warder because there is a focus on creating a community of support for my son. The families, staff and administrators have been there for him as an individual, where everyone knows him and looks out for him. Warder supports his learning by providing memorable learning experiences that have made him excited to be at school. He rarely comes home without a story about another student helping him learn something new, a teacher providing him with a new challenge, or an opportunity to be creative and express himself through his interests like social studies, art, band, physical education, science, or even Lego club. The community at Warder has helped my son find out more about his passion, what he is good at, and what it feels like to learn in a supportive environment.

Warder isn't just a school-it's a family. Over the years, our children have been guided, encouraged and loved by teachers who see their potential and help them shine. What makes Warder so amazing is the way every student is known, valued and inspired to believe they can do anything.

Warder is one of the best schools. It has a really good principal. You will have a lot of fun. Recess is the best. There are two playgrounds, and they both have swings! All of the teachers are really nice, and they care about you a lot. If you make a mistake, they don't yell at you. They just help you.

Why do you like Warder? Parent Perspective
As parents, we can't say enough good things about how the staff at Warder Elementary have supported our family. Navigating the unique educational and behavioral challenges that come with having a neurodivergent child isn't always easy, but they've stood by our kid every step of the way. They actively collaborate with us, value our input, and always prioritize our child's sense of safety and belonging. The staff's intuitive, flexible and genuinely caring approach has made such a difference, not just for our child, but for our whole family as we've worked through some unexpected and tough moments together as a team.
-Heidi
We've had two kids at Warder for the past six years. We have loved how they are interested in school, enjoy going every day, and come home with interesting topics for the dinner table. they have been challenged and prepared for what comes their way. We feel lucky to have them at Warder.
