I am glad to say that our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students are in the final week of SBAC testing. The testing schedule was designed to lower testing stress by reducing the length of time spent on daily testing. I am confident that students have shown their best work and the scores will reflect the same. SBAC scores will be released in the fall.
We are on the home stretch and students and staff at Warnerare hard at work to finish the year strong! Fifth grade students are excited about the culmination ceremony to be held on Thursday, June 9, 2016 at 9:00am. (Bitter Sweet!)
I believe and know that in the new school year, we will continue to grow academically and in strengthening the partnerships that make Warner Avenue the Best School in the District! WarnerAvenue School will continue the following programs for all students in 2016-2017:
Visual Arts program
Computer literacy program
District music and drama program
Field trips for academic enrichment
Library visits
Physical Education with Coach Diamond
Science program
STAR after-school program
Teacher Assistants
Winter and Spring Sings

Hi Everyone…
There are 2 fantastic parties coming up in May:
Saturday, 5/21/16 – 3rd Grade Movie Night Under the Stars – Join your fellow 3rd graders for an outdoor movie experience with dinner, popcorn, and more! Bring your blankets, sleeping bags and lawn chairs, and get ready for a fun night!

Just so you know, it doesn’t cost you any more money to shop Amazon this way. And your purchases are completely anonymous – so no one will rib you about your love of Taylor Swift or your penchant for romantic fiction.
If you can, please shop this way instead of using Amazon Smile. Warner only gets .5% on Amazon Smile vs. 4 – 8% if you shop through this link. That’s a huge difference! If our Warner families take this easy step, we can raise a lot of money for Warner with almost no extra effort. SPREAD THE WORD TO FRIENDS AND RELATIVES!
It’s so easy and our school gains so much! That’s why we’re asking everyone to make a habit of clicking on Warner‘s Amazon link (on the right hand side of the WarnerWhat’sHappening) to do their shopping on Amazon for the rest of the year. Thanks for your support!
