About Mr. Warner:
This will be my ninth year as a teacher at West Lafayette Elementary School, formerly Cumberland Elementary. I worked as a Paraprofessional at Cumberland during the 2013-2014 school year. Previously, I taught at North White Jr. High teaching math for one year. My original license is in elementary which prompted me to return to the elementary classroom as soon as possible. Before teaching, I had a very different life. I graduated from Purdue with a degree in Building Construction Management. I worked as a project manager for some time before being laid off. It was during this time I stayed home with my son (age one at the time) and realized I had a different passion in life. So here I am in my dream job of being an elementary teacher. I have two children, one is a fifth grader at Battle Ground Elementary and the other is a freshman at Harrison High School. My wife is an English teacher (20+ years!) at Harrison High School. I have been inspired by the show Treehouse Masters, hence the treehouse theme. I hope to bring my excitement for the outdoors into and outside my classroom for your child to enjoy. We are very close to some good nature areas and I plan to utilize these in my teaching this year. Please feel free to look around my site...it is always work in progress so be careful!
Sincerely,
Joe Warner

Your child's learning is very important to myself and the staff here at West Lafayette Elementary School. I personally believe that it takes a whole community to help instruct your child. I define school community as teachers, administrators, parents, students, friends, neighbors, and anyone else that is involved with the children we work with. This is why it is extremely important to have open lines of communication. If you have any questions or concerns at anytime, please contact me by phone or email. Please remember that I am with students most of the day and I do have a family of my own. So do not feel like I am putting you off. I will respond to you the same day you contact me, just maybe not right away.

Me at Hide-a-way Woods in Durham North Carolina. A network of Treehouses! I was a kid in a candy store at this place. I may have had more fun than my own children. My wife snapped some good photos of me!
My family and I in Costa Rica.

My treehouse at my house. It was on the property when we moved in. I have had the roof redone and completely redone the interior as Animals were allowed into for sometime. It is now usable again for my children and neighbors.

A new way for me to "be in the trees!" Ziplining in Costa Rica.
