Note from Mr. Camp
Things continue to go well with kids back in school! Again, we appreciate your continued support with following the protocols for safety and our changes with arrival/dismissal procedures. Let's keep up the great work and being a community that cares for each other!
As we begin February, we have started the process of planning for the 2021-2022 school year. As part of our planning process, we ask our community to give use feedback on our priorities for next year to help guide our budget and staffing plan. You can access this brief survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BG237G8. This survey takes less than 5 minutes will be open until February 12. We appreciate your time in giving us input to help guide our decisions for building a staffing plan that supports our school.
I hope you all all have a great weekend and time with your families!
Sincerely,
Hayden

Healthy Kids Club 5210+ Challenge
Dear Werner Families,
I am excited that Healthy Kids Club is still offering their 5210+ Challenge. 5210+ runs from February 1 through February 28. This challenge is a great way for families to see which areas of health kids are excelling in and which areas kids need to think about more. All your family has to do is fill out the attached pdf by either printing them or checking the boxes within the pdf. Also, I have attached the instructions pdf and a link to a fun video that explains what to do.
This is a different way of doing the challenge from years passed, but it will be just as fun! In the beginning of March, I will provide a link for you to record your results. The prizes are: 1) finding out about kid’s health, 2) a t-shirt if kids get 80 or more checks on their health logs, 3) extra credit in PE, 4) money for our school if we get enough participants.
Besides Werner kids participating, anyone in your family can participate too!
Have fun and let me know if you have any questions.

Resources for those facing housing and food hardship
The COVID-19 pandemic has created financial hardships for many in our community, leading to housing instability and food insecurity. There are financial resources available to help families and landlords and protections in place to help people stay housed. The PSD Department of Language, Culture, & Equity has worked with community partners to put together resources to support families.
Please see the LCE Family Resources Information (English and Spanish) for information on support with housing, food, and utilities.

One of many ways information is shared is through the Great Happens Here community newsletter, which features timely information about the latest happenings in the district. GHH is emailed to families and interested community members about every two weeks.
