Please join us for our last WAVE meeting of the school year Monday, May 1st immediately after the assembly in
the Banooni Auditorium.
Learn about the final events and activities for the year, including the 90th Anniversary, Book Fair, Open House, and the Teacher/Staff Luncheon. Ms. Kamau will give her monthly update and also present on new report cards.
We will be voting on the slate for the 2017-18 WAVE Board of Directors and Officers. Also, we will be voting on the restated WAVE bylaws. The board approved restated bylaws at the last board meeting and the members will vote whether to approve and adopt them. A pdf of the restated bylaws was sent via email by your Head Room Parent. Members may also request a copy be mailed or emailed to them by contacting Sabrina IsHak at Sabrina.ishak@gmail.com or 310/463-5714.
Thank you to all who came out to support Warner! The Walk was a super success and we raised much-needed funds for our school. Thanks to all who volunteered as Walk reps for their class, chalked the sidewalks, and walked with the kids.
A very special thank you to the Super Duper Warner Walk Co-chairs Cathy Lowell and Paula Lewis for all of your hard work! It was a great day!
Twelve 5th graders were surprised by their moms and kidnapped in their pajamas… and taken out to a fun pancake breakfast!
Many thanks to the hosts and attendees of all the Party Book parties for the 2016-2017 School Year!!

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.
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.
