Waresboro Elementary School

Ware County Schools Update:
Progress reports will be released one day later than planned due to system maintenance in Parent Portal and Infinite Campus. Reports will be available on February 12, 2026.

Beginning with this week’s progress report, families will also receive a paper copy sent home, in addition to being able to view progress reports and report cards in Parent Portal. Thank you for your patience and continued partnership.

Review emergency contact information together. Make sure children know trusted adults’ names and phone numbers in case plans change.

A good night’s sleep supports strong emotions and better focus. Try keeping bedtime consistent even as schedules shift during winter.

Help your child understand what’s okay to share, like a drawing, and what should stay private, like their name or school. Learn more on Parent ProTech: https://app.parentprotech.com/1057/ware-county/en/signup?source=admin

End the week by asking one simple question: “What went well at school today?” Reflection builds connection — and helps kids notice progress.

Screens tend to creep in during winter evenings. Try a short “unplug window” before bedtime to help brains wind down and improve sleep.
