You can make your contribution online at https://warnerfundraising.org/warner-annual-fund/.  Or you can fill out the attached form and drop it off in the office. You can find it by clicking HERE.

Warner Crossing Partners

Over the past few weeks, a pilot “Crossing Partners” program has been put in place to help ensure the safety of the Warner community in getting to the campus safely.

The pilot has been so successful that Ms. Kamau wants to incorporate this as a classroom safety job — separate yet related to carpool.

Thank you to Micah Yui for spearheading the Crossing Partners Program!
The classes will only be responsible for one week of Crossing Partners duty:
  • 4 people per day
  • The crossing friends week is different from the carpool week and a schedule will be sent to your class carpool representative.

Any parent or business interested in corporate sponsorship (advertising in the roster, banners at school corners, this newsletter) please contact Tracy Austin at tsue73@yahoo.com.

It’s a tax-deductible contribution to Warner AND a great way to advertise your business to all the parents and the entire neighborhood.
Click Warner B 4 U “Cart” on Amazon

Amazon Logo  

Everyone who goes through the Amazon portal on Warner’s website before shopping can earn us a 4­-10% referral kickback at no additional cost.  This could be thousands of free dollars for our children’s school!

Here’s how:
 (1) Send all your friends and family all over the world an email with a link to Warner’s website: www.warneravenueelementary.com
 (2) Need to shop on Amazon? Every single time, go to Warner’s website first and click through our portal to get there. The portal will always be on the very bottom of every page on our site, and we’re trying to put up a more prominent portal as well.
(3) Even to browse ­­make it a habit. Every new purchase has to be put in the cart and paid for ONLY after clicking through our portal or we are not credited.
(4) You will not get confirmation that the purchase earned us a referral reward, but if you follow these steps, we’ll get free money!

FAQ:
1.  Can I shop, put stuff in my cart and then click through Warner’s website to buy?  No. Your cart will be there and the purchase will look the same to you, but Warner will not earn any money from it. The system is set­up to credit us only for funneling a customer to them, and a customer is defined as a person who goes on our site, clicks through to Amazon’s site, commits items to a cart, and eventually makes the purchase. You must go through our portal before putting items in your cart to benefit Warner.
2. What if i click through the portal, browse and don’t put anything in my cart.  I leave the window up, and later that day I make an Amazon purchase? Once you click through our portal, you’ve activated a 24 ­hour session timer. Purchases made in that window should be credited. But you’re safer always, always, always clicking through Warner’s Amazon portal to browse or shop on Amazon.
3. What if I click through Warner’s portal, put stuff in my cart and then wait a while before I compete the purchase…like more than 24 hours? So long as you accessed Amazon through our Warner portal and put items in your cart in that session, the purchase is credited to us if made within 90 days.  But again, you’re safer if as a habit, you always, always click through Warner’s Amazon portal before you even browse, or shop, or finalize a purchase on Amazon.
4. What about Amazon Smile? We are working to link the Associate program to our Smile program. It should be invisible to you, but if it turns out there’s another step to the process we’ll update this page. Otherwise, if you were to shop smile.amazon.com without going through our website portal, we only earn a fraction of 1%, instead of 4%­10%.
5. How much money do we earn? Amazon’s formula is complicated, with the numbers depending on the type of items purchased, the amount of money spent, and the total volume of click­through customers we refer. Don’t worry about it! Just shop as you normally would, after always first going to Warner’s site and clicking our portal to Amazon. The more people do it, the more we earn.
6. How long does the program run? Amazon is running the Associate program year ­round without limitation. Unlike other promotions, it earns money for Warner even when school is not in session.
7. Will doing this mess up my Amazon Prime account? No.
8. Does Amazon allow Warner access to data about my family’s purchases or account? No. WAVE administrators can get frequent updates on how much the school has earned in total, and that’s it. We can’t tell you if a particular purchase was credited, and we don’t get customer account data at all.

So every time you shop Amazon, first go to: www.warneravenueelementary.com, Then click­through to Amazon from our portal, fill your cart and check out as usual.  Every single time.

Warner Crossing Partners

Over the past few weeks, a pilot “Crossing Partners” program has been put in place to help ensure the safety of the Warner community in getting to the campus safely.

The pilot has been so successful that Ms. Kamau wants to incorporate this as a classroom safety job — separate yet related to carpool.

Thank you to Micah Yui for spearheading the Crossing Partners Program!
The classes will only be responsible for one week of Crossing Partners duty:
  • 4 people per day
  • The crossing friends week is different from the carpool week and a schedule will be sent to your class carpool representative.

Thank you to the following volunteers who helped out during the trial month solely out of the goodness of their hearts! You all helped make the Crossing Partners Program happen!

Recent 5th Grade Cyber Security Assembly 
(By Alan W. Silberberg, father of 2 Warner kids + 1 Alumni, and Founder of

Digijaks which is a cyber security company specializing in social media and mobile. He is a member of the California Cyber Security Task Force + a Subject Matter Expert on Cyber Security for the U.S. SBA.)

In October, 2016, I was invited to speak to the Warner 5th Grade about cyber security, cyber bullying and staying safe online. We talked about how kids are building a permanent encyclopedia of themselves every time they go online; how a “friend” is not necessarily a friend online; and never to use digital tools to bully or abuse someone else. I have spoken at schools in the past, and one thing that always rings clearly, is how much more advanced kids are in some ways than their parents or teachers.
*Some ways* is the key phrase. While kids may know how to use a device or a program or online platform, their brains are still those of kids, and they do not understand the short and long term ramifications of their digital lives yet. Many of their parents and teachers do not fully either. Some parents may get remedial cyber security training through their workplace, but this never involves family cyber security or the cyber security needed around classrooms and schools. Most teachers are getting little to no cyber security training beyond that of the school network and school owned devices.
So kids, families and teachers are left to fend for themselves. We all need a rule of life playbook for digital lives. Kids are building the digital encyclopedia of themselves every day, and this will last with them forever. So the earlier we start reaching into schools and other places where families are, the sooner we can teach the digital version of “don’t cross the street on a red light” or “don’t take a stranger’s hand or get in a car with a stranger.”
These concepts are simple in real life and much more complicated due to psychology and questions of real or not, online. The digital worlds we all create leave somewhere between 15,000-20,000 digital markers per week, or per day in some cases for those who are heavily online. These markers are diced and spliced into tiny micro bits that then get sold, are used to profile and used for identity theft.
During this session, we did a real time internet test. I asked everyone to cover their hands with their faces. I then took a picture of the room with everyone like that, and was sure to not include anything that would show where we were. Then I explained that we were going to post it to Twitter. But, in doing so, we had to respect everyone’s privacy, so, no geo locating, no tagging of anyone’s name, no mention of the school, no mention of names. We sent the tweet out live and within one hour, over 2000 people had seen it, and 48 people had clicked on it. This is just one tweet. Multiple that by every social network and every child and every child they know. Now you can see for yourself how fast something can affect and change a young person’s life.
Some of the questions that came up in this session included:
·       How do I know if someone on a social network or game or music platform is really another kid?
·       I accidentally downloaded a virus and crashed my parent’s computer, what can I do?
·       Should I use a password to protect my phone/tablet/watch?
·       Should I talk to my parents if there is something I don’t understand or seems worrying?
·       Who do I report a bad person to? (And how)
These are your kids. Multiply this by every school in the USA and we have a problem folks. A problem that needs to be addressed both through the schools; and one that parents need to take an active role in for their families.
Digijaks has created a unique way for families, small businesses and family owned businesses to begin assessing and strengthening their cyber posture. For questions, please contact Alan Silberberg at asfounder@digijaks.com
