Staff Spotlight: Coach Rob Robertson (PE Teacher)

What makes Warren Central such a special place to teach and coach?

"Warren is the ultimate place to be when it comes to support! Our township is amazing at offering students of all walks of life and ability an opportunity to find success. I have never witnessed the willingness to exhaust all resources like we do in our school community every day. At Warren all you have to do is want it bad enough...and we will make sure you can get it!" - Coach Rob

2020 Census - deadline approaching

If you have not already filled out the 2020 Census, please do so by September 30th. Every person counted in the census means more money for programs to assist our school, students, and families.


  1. The census is important. From school boards to the U.S. House of Representatives, the census is used to distribute power – and resources – to the people. The 2020 Census will determine how much federal funding our community receives for education, healthcare, housing, transportation, emergency services, and more. Every person counted in the census means more money for programs that support MSD Warren Township, our students, and you – their families. The census supports all children, helping them meet challenging state academic standards and have a well-rounded education
  2. The census is safe. By federal law, individual responses to the census are confidential for 72 years and cannot be shared with anyone, including law enforcement, immigration, tax agencies, or even the President of the United States. Your information is private and cannot be used against you.
  3. The census is easy. Completing the census for your household should only take about ten minutes and is simpler than ever to do. Your household should have received a form by mail earlier this year, but if you’ve misplaced it don’t worry! You can still respond by calling (844) 330-2020 (English Version or (844) 468-2020 (Spanish Version) or online at my2020census.gov.
  4. The census’s deadline is approaching. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the deadline to respond to the 2020 Census was extended earlier this year until September 30, 2020. The date your household will reference when completing your census is April 1, 2020. Make sure you count everyone who was residing in your household on this date, including roommates, extended family, friends, and – of course – children!
