Warner School District 6-5

The Scrubs Camp that is supposed to be held in Aberdeen tomorrow for students has been postponed to a later date.

Good evening Warner School Community, due to current road conditions, strong winds, and blowing snow; we will have a 10:00am start Tuesday March 26, 2024. The later start will allow time for snow removal, plowing of roads, and additional travel time getting to school. Buses will travel where possible, with the Sale Barn bus picking up students between 8:30 and 8:40am. All other pick-up times will be around 90 minutes later than normal. Again, Warner Schools will have a 10:00am start on Tuesday, March 26, 2024. Drive safe, stay warm, and Go Monarchs.

Warner School Community, due to the forecast for more snow and high winds over night and into the day tomorrow, coupled with the Winter Storm Warning in effect throughout the day. The combination of those weather concerns will make travel difficult and hazardous. So, Warner School District will have No School, Monday March 25, 2024. All scheduled activities will be canceled and the building will be closed for the day. Again, No School in Warner on Monday, March 25, 2024; stay safe, stay warm, and Go Monarchs.

Weather is always an important topic in the lives of any South Dakotan. The fourth graders were no exception to this as they had a meteorologist from the National Weather Service visit their classroom. Miss Larson, our student teacher, invited Megan, the meteorologist, to talk to the students about tornadoes. This was very relevant as the 4th graders are reading the novel, Night of the Twisters, by Ivy Ruckman. Miss Larson also had them create weather related posters with various facts about different storms.

As part of our ongoing commitment to promoting health and wellness among our community, we are excited to announce a chance for you to assist with this. Unfortunately, as you may be aware, funding for extracurricular programs like our weight room can be limited. That's why we're reaching out to you, our supportive community, to ask for your help in making these updates a reality. The Warner School Foundation is willing to match funds up to $15,000.00. Please see the attached document for more information. Your donation, no matter the size will be greatly appreciated!!

Weekly Update for next week

Just a reminder on the welcome home tonight at 5:00 for the Warner Monarch Girls Basketball Team. This will take place in the Warner Arena. GO MONARCHS!!!!
