Please be reminded that McKinney-Vento eligibility must be reviewed and reevaluated every school year. Special transportation and other services that may have been provided during the 23-24 school year do not automatically carry over to the next school year (24 25). If your family and or child(ren) are experiencing housing instability and an increased risk of homelessness at the beginning of the 24-25 school year, please contact Sandra Osburn, McKinney-Vento Liaison after July 22, 2024, at 912-283-8656 or sosburn@ware.k12.ga.us. Mrs. Osburn will be glad to help you determine if your family will continue to qualify for McKinney-Vento services for the upcoming school year. Please Note: If you have received special transportation to school through McKinney-Vento services, transportation services will not continue for the 24-25 school year, unless you contact Mrs. Osburn.
When your child tells you something important, restate it in your own words to make sure you understood.
Social media makes it easy to hurt someone. Make a family rule: Don’t post anything you wouldn’t say to someone’s face.

Families, Tonight's reading assignment for Charlotte's Web is Chapters 4-5. You can read to your child, have your child read to you, or listen to a staff member read it to you on Facebook or Instagram. Don't forget to send pictures of you and your child(ren) reading together. Send photos to your teacher's REMIND or stison@ware.k12.ga.us, and we will post them on social media.
Discuss something you recently learned with your child. This shows education is a lifelong process.
