Staff Spotlight: Mr. Eric Jackson (Math Teacher)

Mr. Jackson began teaching last year at Warren Central. He is currently teaching Algebra 1.


“Cogito, ergo sum”, I think therefore I am by René Descartes. “I am grateful to be a part of the Warren family. It seems my crossroad of life has intersected with the Warren community and I have appreciated every moment. It is a privilege to have the role of influencer, teacher, and mentor to so many students. I am excited about the opportunity to collaborate with the Warren community in obtaining excellence in education.” – Eric Jackson

District COVID-19 Data

MSD Warren Township COVID-19 data will be updated and shared each Friday on our district website which can be accessed HERE. Included in this data are the number of positive cases by school/facility as well as the total number of individuals (students and staff) who were required to isolate or quarantine. Individuals that are in isolation may or may not have COVID-19 and may or may not have been exposed within Warren schools/facilities. Isolation and quarantine are used to slow the spread of COVID-19.


**These numbers do not mean that a school or facility is unsafe for students and staff, rather that precautionary steps are being taken to protect all students and staff. We will continue to communicate with staff and families if they are identified as a close contact to a positive COVID-19 case.

Human Body Systems (PLTW) - Mr. Maillet

Students are studying tissues as part of a larger unit called Identity. All humans have the same tissues but gain their own identity as the tissues take on slightly different shapes. To reinforce these concepts, students build muscles, fat, and eyes out of clay to provide their Manikin with his or her own identity and explore how these tissues work together. The students will continue to add more structures throughout the year to the Manikin as they investigate new body systems. See pictures below of their progress.

FAFSA Information

Seniors, it is that time of the year to begin thinking about FAFSA. We have a great opportunity set up for you to learn about FAFSA and various types of financial aid available to help cover the cost of college

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!
