• PSD Family Engagement Survey- Next week, you will receive an email from PSD regarding our district's family engagement survey. This survey will give you the opportunity to share feedback about student transitions between schools and between grade levels, the welcoming and inclusive environment of our schools, communications between school and home, and supporting student success. Thanks for sharing any feedback!

• Werner International Night-Save the date for February 20th, 5:00-6:35 PM for Werner's 3rd Annual International Night! Join us for a night of fun and learning about countries around the world! If you or someone you know has lived in a country outside of the U.S. and would like to volunteer as a presenter, please visit https://forms.gle/Q7NxoKsQhWoiFRjq9.

• Clothes Donations Needed- We could use some donations to replenish our spare clothing supply. We especially need bottoms-sweatpants, leggings, elastic waisted type bottoms are best. We need bottoms for both boys and girls in all sizes. We don’t need t-shirts, but for this time of year we could use sweatshirts or hoodies in all sizes. If you have any donations, please drop them off at the main office.

• Spanish Enrichment Class Opportunity- Our previous enrichment class with Bikepath Learning has, unfortunately, discontinued. We have a new opportunity beginning in February on Mondays. See the flyer below (In The Community section) for more information.

Throughout the year, we ask our community for photos that could be used for our yearbook and/or social media. This relates to school events only (e.g. classroom parties, field trips, school events, spirit days and enrichment opportunities). You can upload pictures to our 2024-2025 Werner Photo Album throughout the year. Please be mindful to not include photos of students that may not have permission.

• PSD sends frequent emails to currently registered volunteers, but those are getting lost in some recipients' junk mail folders. If you are registered as a volunteer with PSD, please check your junk mail & mark those sent by "Volunteer Coordinator" as safe to receive.

• For those who are not yet registered to volunteer but want to help in our schools please visit - Volunteer Registration

One of many ways information is shared is through the PSD Now community newsletter, which features timely information about the latest happenings in the district. This is emailed to families and interested community members about every other Thursday.

Here is the most recent newsletter of PSD Now. For archived newsletters and information about how to sign up, go to: https://www.psdschools.org/department/communications.
