• Oct. 29-Halloween Parade @ 2:45 p.m. (outside)
• Nov. 4- Guitar Lessons @ 7:45 a.m.-Music Room
• Nov. 8- No School for K-12 Students-Staff Work and PD Day

• Halloween Parade- Our annual Halloween Parade will begin around 2:45 p.m. on Friday, October 29. If you park at school, please do not park in areas where there is signage for No Parking or along red curbs (for Emergency Access). Our parade will start at the front entry, and we will pick up classrooms as we walk around the entire building. We will drop off classrooms as we walk back around. Parents are invited to view the parade outside around the building. Visitors will not be allowed in the building. After the parade is completed, parents may take their student(s) home. Please check your student out with their teacher if you decide to leave early.

• Halloween Parties- Parties will be held in each room before the parade (scheduled with homeroom teacher and Room Parent). Due to current restrictions, we can only accommodate two volunteers per classroom for the parties. Room Parents and/or teachers will be communicating out to families on needs. Volunteers need to review the Werner Health/Safety Protocols for Classroom Parties. Visitors will not be allowed for the parties this year.
• CANS Around the OVAL results- Thanks for your food donations Werner! We collected 577 lbs. of food to support the Larimer County Food Bank! Thanks for your generosity.

• PSD Code of Conduct- The Poudre School District wants each school to have 95% of our families acknowledge PSD's Code of Conduct. At this time, Werner has only reached 91%. To acknowledge the Code of Conduct, you will need to log into ParentVue. When you first log in, you will be asked to review and acknowledge the document. You can log in here: https://pvue.psdschools.org/.

• We know we will participate in a drill that week but won’t know the specific time at which it will occur.
• We will make an announcement over our intercom when the drill is underway and emphasize that it is only a drill and that there is not an active threat to our school.
• During a lockdown drill, students and staff are directed to a safe location inside the building. Exterior and interior doors, windows, and access points are closed and locked. Due to COVID protocols, students will remain at their desks or normal socially distanced positions during the drill.
• When it’s completed, school staff, members of PSD’s Safety and Security Department, and law enforcement officers will review how things went.
• Community members can expect to see a heavier-than-usual law enforcement presence at the schools when lockdown drills occur.

Student Illness

Students who develop COVID-like symptoms while at school will need to go home. This includes: new or worsening cough, upset stomach, sore throat, runny nose, congestion, and headache. Some of these symptoms overlap with other health conditions such as seasonal allergies or anxiety. If your student has a known health condition, it needs to be documented with a note from a medical provider and turned in to the Health Office in order for your student to remain at Werner with these symptoms. You can look up the health conditions on record for your child by logging in to ParentVue, click on ‘Health’, then click on ‘Health Conditions’.

Immunization Process

Exemptions

· If your student cannot get vaccines because of medical reasons, you must submit a Certificate of Medical Exemption to your school, signed by a health care provider licensed to give vaccines. You only need to submit this certificate once, unless your student’s information or school changes.

· If you choose not to have your student vaccinated according to the current recommended schedule because of personal belief or religious reasons, you must submit a Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption to your school. Nonmedical exemptions must be submitted annually at every new school year (July 1st through June 30th of the following year).

· Two ways to file a nonmedical exemption, certificates and online education module:

o File the Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption WITH a signature from an immunizing provider, OR

o File the Certificate of Nonmedical Exemption received upon the completion of our online education module.

o Downloadable certificates and online education module are available on the CDPHE website here.

"Return to Learn" Guidance

If your child is experiencing illness symptoms, please refer to the CDPHE Return to Learn Guidance for helpful pointers as to whether your child can return to school or not.

The Werner library is excited to welcome back our seasoned volunteers and bring new ones on board! We would love your help shelving books and performing other library tasks anytime throughout the school day. We are happy to accommodate all schedules and availability.
