I absolutely love WLES and our school community.  I attended Warrensburg-Latham schools kindergarten-12th grade.  I am so fortunate to be able to serve the school that provided me with an excellent education and school experience.  I've been in education for over 20 years as both a teacher and administrator at all grade levels.  Our motto at WLES is: Work Hard.  Be Kind.  We not only want to provide students with a rich educational experience, but also model and teach kindness.  My focus is to get all students reading on grade-level by the time they leave WLES.  A strong reading foundation is essential in students meeting their educational and career goals.  My primary responsibility is to be the instructional leader of the building by supporting teachers and student learning.  I make decisions based upon this focus to ensure we are always doing what is best for students.  We are blessed to have a strong school community with high parental involvement which allows us to provide so many valuable opportunities to our students.  One Community.  One District.  One Family.

Hello, my name is Dana Welch-Burns and I started in February 2024 as the new Administrative Assistant at Warrensburg-Latham Elementary School. I am originally from Wapella, IL, and I am a graduate of Mt. Zion High School.  I have an Associate in Science, and prior to starting at WL, I had spent  18 years  working   at my family’s insurance agency. My husband and I have two amazing boys in the Warrensburg-Latham School District. We absolutely love our school district and this community. I am so excited to start this new adventure at WL and getting to see my kids everyday is an added bonus. I love getting to see all the kids, parents , and teachers everyday. It is such a great working environment here at WLES!!
