How do I get Parent/Teacher
Conference schedules?
Angie Vetter, administrative assistant, develops an
elementary schedule for conferences. This schedule is
mailed out in the monthly newsletter and sent home
individually with students. Middle school and High
school run an "Open" type of forum for conferences so
you need to come and wait until your teacher has an
opening.
When do report cards come

Quarterly report cards are sent home with elementary
students the Friday after the Nine-weeks ends. If a
parent/teacher conference falls then, they will be handed
directly to parents. MS/HS mails report cards or hands
them out at conferences.
How do I get "Back to School" Everyone on the school mailing list receives a “Back to
Information in the fall?
School" packet in early August with information about
bus routes, school lunch, activities, and any other
procedural issues that need to be taken care of prior to
the start of school.

Volunteerism at Warner School
How to get involved
PTCO: Contact Person: Chanda Boesl, president. 226 - 9955 Parent/teacher/
community organization. This is a support organization that provides funding for school
projects, scholarships for higher education, work on special events, and any other functions as generated at meetings.
YMCA Coaching: Contact person: Dan Grewe at YMCA. 225 – 4910 Warner Elementary students participate in football, basketball, and volleyball through the YMCA. Get in
touch with Dan or other parents in the class to see how you can be a part of things.
Room Helper: Contact person: Each classroom teacher 225-6194. Talk to them directly
and let them know what your special talents are. ART is an area where we could always
use an extra pair of hands. Organizing the Christmas Parties is another big event during the year. Making displays would always be appreciated. Reading to students is
huge, especially in the younger classes. Presenting on a special topic is a wonderful
way to volunteer. We never put a parent in the position of being a disciplinarian or an
evaluator of other student’s work. Helping with special projects like Math-O-Lanterns,
story writing, plays, music concerts, or field trips is a huge help as well as piano accompanists for music contests.
Event Helper/Coordinator: Contact person: Mr. Kay 225-6194. On big event days like
field day, or a Munchkin Run, helpers are always need to make the event happen. Let Mr.
Kay know if you are willing to help. Occasionally we need a playground project such as
painting or construction of equipment, and that is always appreciated as well. Often people volunteer to coordinate an event such as Jump Rope for Heart or a Kid Run.
Sports: Contact Person: Mr. Welke 225-6194. There is always room for people to get
involved in this area. Line judges, volunteers for junior high tournaments, officials, announcers, or volunteer assistant coaches are ways people have volunteered in the past.
Library Committee: Contact people: Lori Goldade, Ginny Sannes, or Jody Erickson.
225-6194 This club has been extremely beneficial in securing funding/resources for furnishing the library with everything from shelving to books. This is an area that is terribly important to the school.
Committees and Planning: Contact people: Kirk Easton, Chuck Welke, Cathy Jones,
Lori Goldade, and Donneley Kay. 225-6194. We have an ongoing need for planning
committees for developing in-service, needs assessing, compliance reviews, and other
necessary components of the No Child Left Behind Act. In addition to that some people
may have a high interest in becoming a Board of Education member, which is actually
an elected position.
Warner School Foundation/Financial: Contact person: Kirk Easton 225-6397 or
Mike Bertsch, president 229-3619. This relatively new committee has the goal of supporting Warner School financially and also provides scholarships. If this is an interest/
talent area of yours, you may wish to pursue this activity.
PSCN (Parent Student Communication Network): Contact Person: Jeff Gun 2256194. This is an organization made up primarily of junior and senior parents who secure funding/supplies for post prom and post graduation activities for HS students.
AAU Wrestling for Elementary /MS Boys: Contact Person: Jeff Larson 262-0066.
This is a parent group who have arranged for AAU wrestling with the students who are
not old enough to participate in school wrestling.
