Good morning! In order to have about the same number of students in the building and classrooms. Ware Middle School will divide a little differently. Students with last names beginning with A-L are Group A; they will attend school face-to-face on Mondays and Wednesdays. Students with last names beginning with M-Z are Group B; they will attend school face-to-face on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Students will be broken into two groups based on the last name of the oldest student in the household, and all students in that household will attend face-to-face on the same days to assist families with establishing a consistent schedule. Again, if multiple students in the household have different last names, the group assignment is determined by the last name of the oldest student in the home.

Good Morning Gator Nation! Hope you are all having a fabulous day!! We are having an AR Fundraiser. It was just approved last night! We are selling shirts designed by the very talented Coach Hinely. 100% of our profit will go towards AR incentives. Shop below with this link. Selling starts now through September 30th.

Anyone can get one! https://shop.huckleberryappare... Have a great day! Mrs. Mancil and Ms. Kauffman

Please bring all Chromebooks, Calculators, and Books that have not been turned in to Open House or the first day of school. Please turn them in to the Media Center. Students will not be able to check out a device if they have any Chromebook fines on their account. We would appreciate it so much and look forward to seeing you next week!
