We are closely watching Tropical Storm Idalia and will let families know of any changes to our typical operations as soon as possible. It is very difficult to determine how the storm may impact our area, especially this early, but all OFFICIAL news will be shared via Thrillshare (our texting/phone call system), our system website (www.ware.k12.ga.us), and the Ware County Schools Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/warec...).
WCS Families, we encourage you to please complete the Census Verification process to ensure you have a working cell phone number listed in Parent Portal. In the event of an emergency, we will use our call-out system to send a text message or recorded voice message to that number. Note: We prefer a cell number that we can text. In a true emergency, information changes rapidly; text messaging is the easiest medium to communicate quickly.
Census Verification is by household, not by student, so you only have to complete it one time, no matter how many children you have enrolled in the Ware County School System. If you need help creating a Parent Portal account so you can complete Census Verification, please visit https://5il.co/21gyz to access the one-page flyer containing step-by-step instructions .
We expect to make an announcement Tuesday, August 29, 2023 by lunchtime, once we have more information about the path of the storm. Thank you!
