Center Elementary School

Every week, students miss school because of untreated dental pain. Our upcoming Help a Child Smile dental clinic can make a huge difference for your child. Sign up now at: www.MySchoolDentist.com
Great news: Dental care is fully covered for students with Medicaid! If your child needs a dental checkup, cleaning, or treatment, this is a simple, stress-free way to get it done right here at school.

Keep evening routines steady. Predictability helps kids handle holiday excitement better.

Teach your child how to write a simple thank-you note. Gratitude never goes out of style.

Tomorrow, December 3, is make-up picture day! Forms and money will be due tomorrow. Don't forget your SMILE!

Kids remember what we model. Stay calm when plans shift; they’re watching how to adjust with grace.

Be Aware, Show You Care! In December, students will be learning how to observe their surroundings, make safe choices, and ask for help when something seems amiss. Talk to your child about using their eyes, ears, and voice to keep school safe.

New month, fresh start. Encourage your child to set one small goal to finish the semester strong.

Many students look up to YouTubers and TikTok stars. Talk about fame, privacy, and healthy boundaries online. Explore tips at Parent ProTech: https://app.parentprotech.com/1057/ware-county/en/signup?source=admin

Thanksgiving prep? Let children measure, stir, or set the table. Math tastes better that way.

Compliment your child for effort in school, not just grades. Grit outlasts talent.

Plan one simple act of kindness to close the month — a note, a call, a visit.

Ask your child to share one goal they want to reach before winter break. Encourage small steps.

📣 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
