What Parent Resources Are on the Warwick High School Website?

The Warwick High School website (warwick.nn.k12.va.us) is mainly a navigation hub for Newport News Public Schools (NNPS) families. Parents use it to reach StudentVUE/ParentVUE for grades and records, submit an absence, pay for meals and student fees, check calendars and closings, and find school contact details. Most tools open on separate NNPS or vendor pages, so the school site is the starting point rather than the place where you complete each task.

Grades, Records, and Daily School Tools

The site's student links section points to StudentVUE, Student Password Management, and a "How to Reset Your Password" page. Parent access runs through the PARENTVUE-STUDENTVUE quicklink, which is the entry point for checking grades and student records. The same area links to the Rights & Responsibilities Handbook, eTextbooks, the High School Course Directory, Office 365, Desire2Learn (D2L), Clever, Canvas, and Edgenuity for Credit Recovery.

For Canvas specifically, the site offers a Canvas Student Orientation Course and a Parent/Guardian Canvas Account link. In practice, a parent who wants to see coursework should expect to set up a separate parent Canvas account rather than reuse the student login.

Attendance, Transportation, and Childcare

• Submit an absence: the "SUBMIT ABSENCE" quicklink and the "Submit an Absence" quicklink under Quicklinks.
• Bus stops: the "BUS STOPS" quicklink.
• Childcare transportation: a "Childcare Transportation Request" link under Quicklinks.
• Registering a new student: "How to Register for School."

These are request forms and lookups, not instant confirmations. Plan for processing time and follow up with the school office at (757) 591-4700 if a request doesn't appear to go through.

Meals and Payments

The site lists these as links to external payment platforms. It does not publish prices, fees, or whether an account is required, so check each platform directly before promising a student money will be available the same day.

Calendars, News, and Closings

• On the Calendar and More NNPS Calendars for events and school board meetings.
• In the News and NNPS News Archive for announcements.
• Closings & Delays for weather and schedule changes.
• Bell Schedule and School Hours for timing: students 7:10 am–1:55 pm, office 6:50 am–3:35 pm.

Academics, Scholarships, and Senior Year

The Quicklinks list includes NNPS Scholarships, Scholarship Information, Naviance, Navigating Naviance, and a Naviance Scholarship Guide, plus SAT Practice and SOL Practice. Seniors and their families get dedicated items: Senior News, Senior Portraits, Warwick Senior Family Night Presentation, and 9th and 11th Grade PSAT Sign-Up. Magnet-program families can find International Baccalaureate, Governor's Health Science Academy, and Contact the Magnet Director.

Contact and Location

Warwick High School, 51 Copeland Lane, Newport News, VA 23601. Phone (757) 591-4700, fax (757) 596-7415. The principal is listed as Tiffany Thompson. The Gatewood Building number is (757) 591-4963, and an Alumni Transcript Request link is available for former students.

A Practical Starting Sequence

1. Open the site and use PARENTVUE-STUDENTVUE to confirm you can see grades; if not, use the password-reset link or call the office.
2. Bookmark Submit an Absence, SchoolCafé Meal Payment, and SchoolCashOnline so routine tasks don't require hunting through menus.
3. Check Closings & Delays and On the Calendar before relying on a schedule.
4. For anything time-sensitive — transcripts, magnet questions, transportation — call the main office rather than waiting on a web form.

One caution: the site also carries a referendum notice dated 11/03/2026 ("The 1% Choice") from NNPS and the City of Newport News. That is a civic announcement, not a school resource, and it shouldn't be confused with enrollment or academic information.
