A Message from the Principal
Welcome to Richard Warren Middle School
Dear Richard Warren Middle School Community,
As we conclude another successful school year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all of our families for your continued support and partnership. This year has been filled with growth, learning, and memorable moments, and we couldn't have achieved it without you.
As summer begins, I encourage everyone to take time to relax, recharge, and enjoy quality moments with loved ones. Whether you're traveling, exploring new hobbies, or simply unwinding at home, I hope your summer is both enjoyable and safe.
Enrollment for the 2025–2026 school year starts towards the end of July. Please be on the lookout for communication from the school district and RWMS with important details.
Here are some important dates to remember:
7th Grade Student Orientation – Friday, August 8th
First Day of School – Monday, August 11th
To stay informed about any updates or changes, please regularly check the district calendar at https://www.usd453.org/about-our-district/calendar.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back in the fall, ready to embark on another exciting year of learning and growth.
Enjoy your summer!
Warm regards,
Mr. Kessler
Principal, Richard Warren Middle School
