It’s Homecoming Week at WCHS, and Waresboro is joining the fun! We’re kicking things off with Pajama Day tomorrow—can’t wait to see everyone’s school spirit!
🚦 Online traffic light: Green = safe to post, Yellow = pause and think, Red = don’t even dream about it.
Make Friday “Family Fun Fact Day.” Everyone shares something new they learned this week.
Talk briefly about gratitude. Ask: “What’s one thing you’re thankful for today?”
Midweek reset: Check grades or assignments online together. Praise effort.
💤 Teens say they’re fine on 4 hours of sleep. Lies. Get them 8+ or you’ll see the zombie apocalypse at breakfast.
Take a drive with your child and count how many different types of license plates you see.
Waresboro Reminder: You are cordially invited to stay after our Donuts for Grownups event this Thursday and Friday for our Annual Title I meeting. Students who have a grownup stay for the meeting will receive a treat.
Plan out the week together—sports, homework, meals. Kids feel calmer when they know what’s coming.
Many kids’ games include chat features. See how to lock down privacy settings on Parent ProTech: https://app.parentprotech.com/1057/ware-county/en/signup?source=admin
Share one of your favorite school memories with your child. Invite them to share theirs from this week.
Waresboro Friendly Reminder: If you are attending our Donuts with Grownups event next week on either Thursday, September 11th or Friday, September 12th, you are cordially invited to attend Waresboro's Annual Title I meeting, which will follow immediately after. Students who have a grownup attend will receive a treat!
👀 Sit with your kid and scroll their apps with them. Not snooping—coaching. You might even learn what “rizz” means.
Do a “digital audit” as a family—look at how much screen time sneaks in. Make a small change together.
Set aside time today to check your email or parent portal for updates. Important info doesn’t deliver itself!
Friendly Reminder: If you are planning to attend our Donuts for Grownups event next week on Thursday, September 11th or Friday, September 12th, your reservation and money are due tomorrow, September 3rd. Flyers went home last week, so please check your child's homework folder for more details and the reservation form if you need them.
Your September Helping Children Learn Newsletter will go home this week. Read about important tips for encouraging reading, instilling self-confidence, and making sure you are establishing healthy habits with your child. Please check your student's homework folder for your copy.
🍎 Homework hack: Brains work in sprints, not marathons. Try 20 minutes on, 5 minutes off. Even adults would be smarter if we did this.
Ask your child to teach you something new they learned today. Kids love being the expert.
No school today! Use this time to rest or do one fun activity as a family.
