Waresboro Elementary School

We’re practicing safety tips with our Pre-K and elementary students! They are learning what to do in an intruder drill using calm, age-appropriate language. Please talk with your child about the importance of listening and staying quiet.

Waresboro Elementary cordially invites you to our Annual Title 1 meeting directly after our Donuts for Grownups events on Thursday, September 11th and Friday, September 12th. Students who have a grownup attend our meeting will receive a treat! Please check your student's homework folder for flyers with more details.

🛑 Reminder: “Private account” doesn’t mean “safe account.” Teach your kid that screenshots never expire.

Take a “Tech Timeout” tonight. Play a board game, shoot hoops, or bake something instead.

Practice the “stranger danger” talk—simple reminders about who to trust and what to do if they feel unsafe.

🎒 Backpack truth: Pack it at night. Otherwise, you’re one broken zipper away from a morning meltdown.

Celebrate progress, not perfection. Ask: “What’s one thing you got better at today?”

Make Monday nights “Meal Math.” Let kids help measure, count, or read recipes while you cook.

Ask your child what the funniest thing at school was this week. Humor opens doors.

📱 Parent detective 101: Scroll that friend list. If your kid can’t introduce you to every “friend” face-to-face, time for a chat.

Review emergency contacts today. Update the school if phone numbers have changed.

Remind kids: phones/devices stay tucked away during class time. Model it—put yours away during dinner, too.

Walk around the yard or neighborhood with your child. Count how many different birds, bugs, or blooms you can spot.

🚗 Car rider commute survival tip: Instead of doomscrolling, ask your kid, “What’s one thing you learned today that wasn’t in a book?”

Establish a family “launch pad” spot for backpacks, shoes, and lunchboxes. Less morning chaos = smoother starts.
