🎒 Backpack truth: Pack it at night. Otherwise, you’re one broken zipper away from a morning meltdown.

Make Monday nights “Meal Math.” Let kids help measure, count, or read recipes while you cook.

Ask your child what the funniest thing at school was this week. Humor opens doors.

Scroll your child’s friend list together. If they can’t introduce you to ‘ShadowKing47,’ he doesn't belong in the group chat!


Review emergency contacts today. Update the school if phone numbers have changed.

We are excited to announce that Stopfinder, our new school bus route and bus stop information app, will be active for all Ware County bus riders' families soon! Find out more about Stopfinder by visiting https://www.ware.k12.ga.us/page/stopfinder.


Remind kids: phones/devices stay tucked away during class time. Model it—put yours away during dinner, too.

True story: At least one parent in Ware County wrestled a backpack zipper at 7:15 AM while running out the door this morning, promising *never again.* Be kind to Future You—pack it at night and save the cardio work-out for the gym!


Walk around the yard or neighborhood with your child. Count how many different birds, bugs, or blooms you can spot.

🚗 Car rider commute survival tip: Instead of doomscrolling, ask your kid, “What’s one thing you learned today that wasn’t in a book?”

Establish a family “launch pad” spot for backpacks, shoes, and lunchboxes. Less morning chaos = smoother starts.

Not sure what apps are safe for your child this year?
