Center Elementary School

📣 Early Release – Friday, November 21, 2025

Ware County Schools will operate on an early release schedule this Friday, November 21, 2025, due to the number of students, staff, and district buses traveling to Fairburn, GA for the second round of playoffs.

Early Release Times:
• Ware County High School & Ware County Academy: 11:30 AM
• Middle Schools: 12:00 PM
• Daffodil Pre-K: 12:40 PM
• Elementary Schools: 1:00 PM

This schedule ensures we have the transportation and staffing needed for safe travel. Individual schools will share any additional details with families. Safe travels to everyone heading to Fairburn, and thank you for your continued support of Ware County Schools!

Clean out old toys or clothes and donate together. Giving builds empathy.

Teach kids how to pause before reacting. Deep breaths are free and effective.

Check your child’s backpack for lost forms or notes — communication keeps school and home connected.

Encourage your child to include someone new at lunch or recess. Inclusion is courage disguised as kindness.

Reminder: We’re excited to invite our families to join us for our annual Thanksgiving lunch. Thanksgiving flyers went home in your child's folder.

Veterans Day — thank a veteran together and discuss what service means.

📣 Schedule Update for Friday, November 14, 2025 Our goal was to hold a full instructional day on Friday, November 14th, but due to the number of subs needed to cover staff supporting extracurricular and athletic programs, we’ve determined that we cannot safely operate on a normal schedule. Ware County Schools will shift to a Flexible Learning Day for students and a ½-day Professional Learning Day for staff. Students will receive meaningful learning activities to complete from home while our staff members engage in professional learning onsite. Principals will share school-specific details. Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support, and best of luck to our Gators in the first round of the playoffs! 💚💛 #WeAreWare #GoGators

Parents, The Rec Department/Memorial Park will be closed tomorrow, November 11, 2025. Please send in a note to communicate how your child will go home tomorrow. Thank you!

Ask your child, “Who made your day better today?” Gratitude spreads fast when named.

Hey, Center Tigers! Stay informed—take a look at November’s newsletter!

Share something you learned from a mistake. It normalizes failure and models resilience.

Read aloud — even to big kids. Shared stories create common ground.

Some kids dream of being YouTubers. Help your child understand what’s private and what’s not. Get conversation starters at Parent ProTech: https://app.parentprotech.com/1057/ware-county/en/signup?source=admin

Encourage your child to notice helpers at school — the custodian, nurse, bus driver — and say thanks.

Review hand-washing and healthy habits. Fewer germs, fewer absences.

This is a reminder that Picture Day is tomorrow, November 4, 2025.

We’re Weather-Ready! Students will practice tornado and storm safety drills this month. Remind your child to follow directions, stay quiet, and know their safe space inside the school.

Start a gratitude jar. Each family member adds one thankful note a day until Thanksgiving.

Celebrate the small stuff: Tell your child one thing they did this month that made you proud. End October on a high note.
