Hello Werner Community!

Mark your calendars! The Book Fair is coming December 3 - 5.

While you’re there, set up a Book Fair eWallet, the digital payment account that allows your child to shop for books at the Fair without cash. Then share your eWallet link so friends and extended family can add funds.

Wednesday, December 3, Before School 8:00am - 9:00am & after School 3:40pm - 5:15pm

We can't make this possible without your help! To help volunteer visit the Signup Genius HERE

For any questions, please email the Book Fair Chairperson, Patti Haswell at Haswellpatti@gmail.com

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.

There Is No Wrong Way to PTA. How Do You PTA?

Thank you for supporting the Werner Elementary PTA!

Poudre School District serves approximately 1,500 students experiencing homelessness. The number of PSD families and youth experiencing homelessness continues to increase and their needs have risen exponentially. Currently, one out of every twenty students is experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity in our district. Information and teaching resources on supporting students experiencing homelessness can be found at the National Network for Youth, and Learning for Justice sites. Local information about PSD can be found on the PSD website. You can make a difference just by being aware of the issue and spreading that awareness to your sphere of influence such as family, friends, colleagues. If you are interested in ways you can help minimize the impact of homelessness for our students, please consider donating directly to the PSD McKinney-Vento fund by clicking here. Funds go directly to removing educational barriers for students who are experiencing homelessness, so they have access to school and have the support to be successful. Additionally, if you are interested in your donation being able to support beyond educational barriers to support families with basic needs and even housing assistance, please consider donating to the PSD Foundation’s Compassion Fund using this link. Thank you, and we wish you all a happy Fall Season!

• 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.
