Amazon Contest: One Day of No Homework
For this month and this month only, all our kids are playing a unique new contest where everyone can win! We work together and win the prize together – one day of NO HOMEWORK for the entire school!!! And it’s completely free!
Here’s how it works. Go to our websitewww.warneravenueelementary.com then click on the Amazon logo to get to Amazon. It takes only a few seconds! If we can get to 10,000 clicks this month, our kids will all get that homework-free day!
You’ve probably heard that if you shop on Amazon after clicking through our website, www.warneravenueelementary.com, we can earn fees from Amazon. But very few of us are making this new habit; we’re going straight to Amazon instead.
So for this month, we want to focus everyone on how easy it really is to click through our site to Amazon. Please take a moment to see how easy it is and spread the word to grandparents, siblings, uncles, aunts, cousins, friends. Amazon will give us a referral fee for every single click-through from whatever source — it all counts, all year long. And for this contest, you do NOT need to make any purchases or spend any money. We’re not looking to make you buy stuff all this month; it’s just about the clicks and raising awareness about this program. Eventually, yes, please use this route when you want to use Amazon, but for now — it’s just about the clicks through our website. That’s it.
Our kids really want this homework-free day! Please, help them out this month and let’s see if we can win together!!
Thank you!!
Upcoming Talks

Jerry Brown) and subject matter expert on cybersecurity for the US SBA. Mr. Silberberg is a Warner parent and his tech column is often featured in the Warner What’s Happening newsletter.
Help Us Get Free Money From Ralphs
Did you know Ralph’s will give us free money? They DO!
We get to “set it and forget it.” Once you register your Ralph’s rewards card and pick Warner for your charity, you don’t need to do anything else until next September. Ralph’s will give us a % of your purchases, and it all really adds up. Please invite friends and family to register their Ralph’s cards as well!
Three easy ways to go:
(1) Online; (2) by phone, (3) make us do it for you.
Follow the prompts to register your card or sign in to your existing account. When you get to pick an organization for “community rewards,” be sure to select Warner Avenue Elementary School (not a “pop warner” team), organization #81123.
By Phone:
Call 1-800-443-4438. Have your Ralph’s rewards card ready, or the phone number you use to access Ralph’s rewards. The representative will walk you through registration and linking up to Warner, organization #81123.
By volunteer:
We’ll do it for you! Email your Ralph’s rewards number and email address to silverton.sarah@gmail.com . We will set your password to be “615Holmby” and opt out of communications. You will need to re-enter your account to change those settings. Please note, we cannot register you with a phone number, or if you have an online account with an existing password. Use the other options in those situations.
Warner parents! Do you want to get a head start on spring cleaning? If you have blenders, magic bullets, electric kettles or hot plates that you no longer have use for, the Warner science lab will make sure to put it to great use. Please contact miriamkashfian@yahoo.com for more information or to arrange drop off.
Parents, we would love to have your older students volunteer in exchange for community service hours! Please have your older kids (6th grade & above) contact: camilleanderson1@gmail.com for volunteer opportunities.

Interested in Volunteering?
If you would like to volunteer in a classroom or on campus, or for a WAVE event, you must complete an online application and obtain a LAUSD volunteer badge from the district.
You must wear your badge while you are volunteering on campus.All volunteers are required to complete an online applicationevery year. Please follow the steps below:
3) If this is your first time completing an application online, do not attempt to log in. Click “Register” to register first.
4) Once your account is set up with your email, log in.
5) Start a “New Application”.
6) On Step 4-School Placement, enter your child’s information.
*Please use your child’s classroom number as the School ID.
7) After you submit the application, print it out, sign at the bottom, and bring it to the main office with your new TB test results. If your TB status is already on file (valid for 4 years), you do not need to bring a copy.
8) Read and sign the Volunteer Commitment Form in the main office. This form is also available on www.warneravenuelementary.com in the Volunteer at Warner section.
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.
Thank you for supporting Warner Avenue Elementary!
