Music.ly: Fun + Scary at Same Time
 

 
(By Alan W. Silberberg, father of 2 Warner kids + 1 Alumni, and Founder of Digijaks which is a cyber security company with emphasis on preventing socially engineered attacks. He is a member of the California Cyber Security Task Force + a Subject Matter Expert on Cyber Security for the U.S. SBA.)
 
Music.ly is fun, and widely used amongst both students and parents at Warner. But, it also has some problems. That sounds a little scary, and perhaps for some people, if not many, like science fiction. There have been many incidents recently that highlight several types of privacy invasion and also several types of potential risks to youth, especially of the age of kids at Warner.
As this article states: The problems that exist on Music.ly include inappropriate lyrics, comments that can be bullying or suggestive in nature; as well as problems with how the filters and videos can be used.
On the cyber security level there are other real issues as well. It has been documented several times now that the company has little to no protections built in for younger users; and it is far too easy for an adult to pretend to be a child and make friends on this app. This creates a dangerous situation for those not paying attention, and or not using what security and privacy tools they have in place.  This article addresses the issues around potential child pornography with the app.
There have also been documented privacy breaches; and the company’s terms of service and technological underpinnings have not been updated appropriately to make real viable changes yet. There are few, if any real protections against their databases getting hacked. Indeed because 80 million + kids and families are on it globally, the company a hacking target.
Solutions:
  • Ensure your child is only using PRIVATE mode, + not exposing themselves with a public profile.
  • Work with your children to ensure you, and they know all the people they are friends with on the app, in real life. Kids this age have no business having strange friends.
  • Lock down all the available privacy settings, security settings, and the comments should not be open to public either.
  • Monitor and work with your children to understand how the direct private messages work, and how important it is for all of us to be aware of this function.
  • Like any app use for kids this age, best when used in a family room or car with parents in nearby proximity.  Do not allow this to be used by young children by themselves, or in their own rooms without any adults around.
Digijaks has created a unique way for families, small businesses to begin assessing and strengthening their cyber posture.  click here and begin today.

Music.ly: Fun + Scary at Same Time
 

 
(By Alan W. Silberberg, father of 2 Warner kids + 1 Alumni, and Founder of Digijaks which is a cyber security company with emphasis on preventing socially engineered attacks. He is a member of the California Cyber Security Task Force + a Subject Matter Expert on Cyber Security for the U.S. SBA.)
 
Music.ly is fun, and widely used amongst both students and parents at Warner. But, it also has some problems. That sounds a little scary, and perhaps for some people, if not many, like science fiction. There have been many incidents recently that highlight several types of privacy invasion and also several types of potential risks to youth, especially of the age of kids at Warner.
As this article states: The problems that exist on Music.ly include inappropriate lyrics, comments that can be bullying or suggestive in nature; as well as problems with how the filters and videos can be used.
On the cyber security level there are other real issues as well. It has been documented several times now that the company has little to no protections built in for younger users; and it is far too easy for an adult to pretend to be a child and make friends on this app. This creates a dangerous situation for those not paying attention, and or not using what security and privacy tools they have in place.  This article addresses the issues around potential child pornography with the app.
There have also been documented privacy breaches; and the company’s terms of service and technological underpinnings have not been updated appropriately to make real viable changes yet. There are few, if any real protections against their databases getting hacked. Indeed because 80 million + kids and families are on it globally, the company a hacking target.
Solutions:
  • Ensure your child is only using PRIVATE mode, + not exposing themselves with a public profile.
  • Work with your children to ensure you, and they know all the people they are friends with on the app, in real life. Kids this age have no business having strange friends.
  • Lock down all the available privacy settings, security settings, and the comments should not be open to public either.
  • Monitor and work with your children to understand how the direct private messages work, and how important it is for all of us to be aware of this function.
  • Like any app use for kids this age, best when used in a family room or car with parents in nearby proximity.  Do not allow this to be used by young children by themselves, or in their own rooms without any adults around.
Digijaks has created a unique way for families, small businesses to begin assessing and strengthening their cyber posture.  click here and begin today.

Special Screening of “Screenagers” – Wednesday, April 5th at 7pm in the Banooni Auditorium

We are thrilled to present SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.

SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on-depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.

Film time: One hour 6 minutes

Appropriate for adults and kids 10 and older (however, many parents bring kids younger than 10 and are happy they did.)

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.

Warner What’s Happening – 03/27/17

Issue: #30
Week of 03/27/2017
A Message From Ms. Kamau


 
Guest Speaker Lee Hausner, Ph.D. – March 27th at 8:45am
Lee Hausner, Ph.D. will speak at Warner Avenue on:
Monday March 27th
8:45 am
Banooni Auditorium
She will give parents a plan to raise productive, confident, and well-adjusted children.
Children of Paradise…Successful Parenting for Prosperous Families
Successful parents want to give their children the best of everything yet they are often sadly disappointed with the results as they witness young adults who are poorly motivated, irresponsible, financially demanding and troubled.  Parents are perplexed about how to deal with their success in order to be able to provide the right environment, opportunities and “coaching” so that their children will develop into emotionally healthy, competent, responsible adults.  Unfortunately children don’t come with detailed instruction manuals and so it is necessary for each family to develop their unique strategic plan to achieve their desired results.
Children of Paradise provides the audience with specific action plans  for dealing with these critical parenting challenges:
         Building Strong Self Esteem
         Establishing realistic expectations
         Creating competency and confidence
         Effective communication
         Managing parenting time and energy effectively
         Bratproofing
         Financial parenting
         Responsible wealth transfer strategies
Congratulations Warner Boys’ Softball Team
Congrats to the Warner boys’ softball team!  Out of the 450 schools who participated in the tournament Warner came in 3rd overall!!!

Thanks to Coaches Renal and Michael Hoffman!!!  Thanks to Ms. Kamau for coming to cheer!! Hooray Wildcats!

Special Screening of “Screenagers” – Wednesday, April 5th at 7pm in the Banooni Auditorium

We are thrilled to present SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.

SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on-depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.

Film time: One hour 6 minutes

Appropriate for adults and kids 10 and older (however, many parents bring kids younger than 10 and are happy they did.)

Children of Paradise…Successful Parenting for Prosperous Families
Successful parents want to give their children the best of everything yet they are often sadly disappointed with the results as they witness young adults who are poorly motivated, irresponsible, financially demanding and troubled.  Parents are perplexed about how to deal with their success in order to be able to provide the right environment, opportunities and “coaching” so that their children will develop into emotionally healthy, competent, responsible adults.  Unfortunately children don’t come with detailed instruction manuals and so it is necessary for each family to develop their unique strategic plan to achieve their desired results.
Children of Paradise provides the audience with specific action plans  for dealing with these critical parenting challenges:
         Building Strong Self Esteem
         Establishing realistic expectations
         Creating competency and confidence
         Effective communication
         Managing parenting time and energy effectively
         Bratproofing
         Financial parenting
         Responsible wealth transfer strategies

Special Screening of “Screenagers” – Wednesday, April 5th at 7pm in the Banooni Auditorium

We are thrilled to present SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.

SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on-depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.

Film time: One hour 6 minutes

Appropriate for adults and kids 10 and older (however, many parents bring kids younger than 10 and are happy they did.)

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions

Miryam Aghai – you outdid yourself again with the gorgeous centerpieces and we want to give a huge shoutout to Josh Kafka of Blisscape for the amazing travel donations.  Much thanks to Katy Strouk and Monsieur Marcel for their very generous donation of the wine and spirits and the Azarang Family/Artelice Patisserie for the delicious desserts.

LAUSD School Board Election Information
 
March 7th, 2017 is the Local School Board Election for District 4.
This is for a 5 1/2 year term! Regardless of having children in Private Schools or Public Schools – GOOD Public Schools are GOOD for EVERYONE in the community so please vote!
Below is a link to the District 4 Candidates Forum (recorded live) held at Paul Revere on February 2, 2017.
Special Screening of Screenagers

We are thrilled to present SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in the Digital Age, a documentary about the biggest parenting issue of our time.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston saw that happening with her own kids and began a quest to uncover how it might impact their development. As with her other two award-winning documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. Through poignant, and unexpectedly funny stories, along with surprising insights from authors, psychologists, and brain scientists, SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and also offers solutions on how adults can empower their kids to best navigate the digital world to find balance.

SCREENAGERS addresses the most pervasive parenting issue of our time head on-depicting teen struggles over social media, video games and internet addiction. The film empowers kids to best navigate the digital world and provides practical resources to help them do it.

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions
Add the Warner Home Page and Support Warner!

 
 
We have earned $2000 this year but have the potential to earn MUCH more!

Add the Warner Avenue HOME PAGE to your phone and use it! Once you click the Amazon logo from the warner website, it will take you directly to your Amazon app or account. See pictures below on how to set this up.

Click through the Warner website EVERY time you shop on Amazon! Warner receives up to 10% for every dollar spent. You must go through the Amazon link on our website (https://warnerfundraising.org/) BEFORE you put anything in the cart.

It doesn’t cost you any more money to shop Amazon through Warner and doesn’t affect your Prime account.  Your purchases are completely anonymous!

Warner to Collect New Donations for Los Angeles Foster Children
It’s almost Valentine’s Day so this year let’s wrap our arms and hearts around the children in our community who need it the most!

This year, Warner Avenue will collect NEW essentials and comfort items for boys and girls (ages 2T-12) entering foster care:
* Grades K-1: NEW Small Stuffed Animals (smaller than a sheet of paper)
* Grades 2-3: NEW Pajamas (with legs–no nightgowns)
* Grades 4-5: NEW Sweatshirts (no school, camp, team or religious graphics)
If you would like to donate but don’t have time to shop, monetary donations are welcome online at  www.hopeinasuitcase.org  Please specify “Warner Avenue” when you submit your donation. A  confirmation letter for tax purposes will be sent for all monetary donations.
Please place donations in boxes in the main hallway near the office.

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions

If you are interested in being a Nom Comm member (or know someone who would be good at it), please join us at the meeting to participate in this process.  Any questions, please email Jeannine Sehati (jrsehati@gmail.com) or Sabrina IsHak (  sabrina.ishak@gmail.com).

Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money
 
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions

Principal’s Corner: A Message From Principal Kamau
New Instruction Program at Warner
   
Warner School Teaching and Learning Success Requires an Engaged, Collaborative Community – Agnes Kamau

You are invited to a short talk about a new and dynamic writing program that some of our Warner teachers are implementing in the classroom called Writing Workshop. The talk about Writing Workshop will be lead by one of our parents, Rebecca George, and our Principal, Agnes Kamau, on Monday, January 30th in the Banooni Auditorium right after morning assembly from 8:45am-9:45am. Rebecca is an educational consultant and recruiter and she’s also one of the founders of The City School, a charter middle school on the Westside. She currently serves as Chair of our School Site Council (SSC).

Here’s a brief explanation of what Writing Workshop is all about! Please come to the talk on January 30th to learn more and ask questions.
 
Writing Workshop is a method of writing instruction that has been popularized by Lucy Calkins and others involved in the Reading and Writing Project at Columbia University in New York. Writing Workshop is used in many of the top private/independent schools across the nation as well as the best public and charter schools. This method of instruction focuses on the goal of fostering lifelong writers. It is based upon four principles: students will write about their own lives, they will use a consistent writing process, they will work in authentic ways, and they will develop independence as writers.
Writing Workshop is designed for use in all grade levels. Each grade level has specific units of study tailored to meet developmental and curricular needs. Students have a large amount of choice in their topic and style of writing. The teacher acts as a mentor author, modeling writing techniques and conferring with students as they move through the writing process. Direct writing instruction takes place in the form of a mini-lesson at the beginning of each workshop and is followed by a minimum of 45 minutes of active writing time. Each workshop ends with a sharing of student work.
The units of study are aligned with the Common Core and focus on a balance of narrative and nonfiction writing, informational, persuasive writing, and the revision process.
We encourage all parents to please attend the talk on Monday, January 30th in the Banooni Auditorium right after morning assembly, from 8:45am-9:45am. Please spread the word and invite your Warner friends to attend with you. The talk will include a Q&A and should be a lively discussion!

WHAT IF THERE WAS NO ART, COMPUTER, P.E., OR SCIENCE?
Has your child spent time in the Computer Lab? Perhaps participated in an Art or P.E. class? Attended Science Lab? Or was helped by the teaching assistant in their class? These programs are FULLY supported by the Warner Annual Fund. Without your contributions we would not have these classes.

If you have not made your contribution, please do so today! You can do it securely on-line at https://warnerfundraising.org/warner-annual-fund/

Currently, we are at 51% contribution school-wide, but anything short of 100% participation could result in program reduction or cuts in 2017-2018.  All donations are voluntary however, since the Warner Annual Fund benefits all Warner students, WAVE encourages all families to give (either at the suggested amount or an amount that is meaningful to you).
Thank you so much to all the families that have already made their contribution! Please CLICK HERE to view the most up to date list of WAF supporters. If you do not see your name or wish for it to be displayed another way, please contact Karen Hamilton at warnerannualfund@gmail.com
Interested in Being a Wildcat Sponsor?
 
Wildcat Sponsors automatically become sponsors of the Spring Auction and Warner Walk.  Your name will appear in the courtyard as a sponsor before those events. You will also receive admission for two to the Spring Auction and your child will have a Warner Walk T-shirt and goodies delivered to their classroom.
Did you already contribute and now want to become a Wildcat Sponsor? It’s not too late.  Please email Karen Hamilton at warnerannualfund@gmail.com for details.
You can make your contribution online at https://warnerfundraising.org/warner-annual-fund/.

Need a New Year’s Resolution?  How About You Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money??? : )
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.

Need a New Year’s Resolution?  How About You Register Your Ralphs Card and Help Warner Earn Free Money??? : )
If you shop at Ralphs, we need you!   Only 50 Warner Families have signed up so far.  Ralphs will give a % of your purchases to the charity of your choice – like your child’s public school (hint, hint).  All you need to do is register your card and pick Warner as your charity.   The program requires re-registration each year from Sept 1 to Sept 1, so last year’s effort isn’t earning money for Warner now.  And, if you haven’t done it, it’s still worth doing! 
Click the link below for Ralph‘s instructions, and be sure to pick Warner Avenue Elementary as your charity.
Please contact Sarah Silverton for help or to ask any questions

Supporting Our Children Through the Annual Fund

The teaching assistants play a very impactful role that is paid for by the Warner Annual Fund.  These people make a dramatic impression on your children – how often do they talk about not just their teacher, but the TA in their room.  The Warner Annual Fund is still struggling for contributions this year and these articles have been an effort to communicate how important all of these roles are for your children.  These positions exist due to contributions from the parent body – if you haven’t contributed but are able to do so, please do it – the donation will make you feel good and is one direct way to impact your child’s education in an extremely positive manner.  Please don’t rely on other parents – many have given, and we still need everyone to participate.

A few facts about our very accomplished Teaching Assistants:
  •          All twenty-seven of our TAs have completed college or in the process of finishing their undergrad degrees. Six of them attend UCLA
  •          Three of our Teaching assistants are currently in graduate school, one of our teaching assistants is at UCLA Law School and one is at Pepperdine School of Education.
  •          Six of our teaching assistants have studied or are currently studying to become teachers
  •          Two of our TAs were former LAUSD teachers  – one at Warner and the other at Coeur d’Alene Elementary School.
We are so proud of them and so fortunate to have such amazing talent working with our kids.

It is you, the parents, who make this possible.  Please make your donation to the Warner Annual Fund today.

Thank you.
 
Amazon – What Happened?

Amazon Logo  

 
We were so excited about Black Friday and the free money Warner would receive from our families clicking through our website….but we only had 26 clicks that day. 26 CLICKS? What happened?

Grab a free decal from the office, stick it on your computer to remember.  If you don’t click-through, you just enrich Amazon‘s bottom line instead of helping your kids’ school.

Grab a free decal from the office, stick it on your computer to remember.  If you don’t click-through, you just enrich Amazon‘s bottom line instead of helping your kids’ school.

So every time you shop Amazon,first go to:   www.warneravenueelementary.com. Then click-through to Amazon from our portal, fill your cart and check out as usual.  Every single time. It matters in this holiday season more than ever.  Thank you.

Free Zone Volunteers

Calling all parents of grades 1-5!
Come and tap into your inner-Picasso, as a volunteer at the Art/Free Zone tables, while enjoying the lovely children of Warner Avenue.  Enjoy an afternoon playing board games, directing an art activity, or just simply creating through writing, art and conversation. Your role can be as simple as a supervisor, or as demanding as a facilitator of your own project.

For further instruction, or questions, please contact either Paula Lewis at paulafmlewis@gmail.com or Sherry Lavian at sklavian@yahoo.com. We are happy to get you started with your first shift.

Please note, if you plan a project, it should take no longer than 10 minutes. The children are only at the tables for 15 mins max.
Please click on the link below to view the online sign up sheet for “Free Zone Grades 1-2”.
