As we begin planning student placement for the upcoming school year, we kindly ask families to notify us if their child will not be returning for the fall of 2026. If your child will not be attending Wilson Creek for the 2026–2027 school year, please complete the form linked below:

Students Not Returning Fall 2026 – Fill out form

Families who are formally withdrawing a student from Wilson Creek are required to complete and electronically sign a withdrawal form through the Parent Portal. To initiate this process, please email Ms. Bradley at WCESResidency@fultonschools.org to request the form. An active Infinite Campus account is required to complete the withdrawal.

Thank you for your cooperation and support as we plan for the upcoming school year.

Hi Wilson Creek Parents,

We have an important action item for all families to complete as we prepare for the upcoming school year: the Census Verification Update.

Below, you’ll find details from Fulton County outlining how to complete this process. Completing the census verification is essential for student safety, as it ensures we have your most up-to-date contact information in case of an emergency. This includes verifying your home address, emergency contacts, and approved individuals for student pickup.

If this form is not completed, the school cannot be confident that we have accurate information on file, which may impact student safety and required school procedures.

The deadline to complete the Census Verification Update is May 31. This process only takes a few minutes, so we encourage you to complete it as soon as possible.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this important matter and for partnering with us to keep our students safe.

Help Us Keep Your Student Safe – Census Verification Update

Keeping students safe is our top priority. To do that, we rely on accurate and up-to-date family and emergency information for every student in our schools.

Why Census Verification Matters

Census verification allows the district and schools to:

• Know who is authorized to pick up your child
• Reach families quickly during emergencies
• Ensure smooth and safe dismissals, including early dismissals or evacuations
• Maintain accurate contact and household information

Updating this information is an important step in making sure we can care for your child in any situation.

What Families Need to Do

Census verification can be completed by Sunday, May 31 through Infinite Campus Online Registration.

We kindly ask all families to:

• Log in to Infinite Campus
• Review and update student and household information
• Review and update address
• Confirm emergency contacts and authorized pickup individuals

Even if your information has not changed, completing the verification confirms that we have the most accurate information on record.

When to Complete It

Please complete your census verification before the start of the school year. This helps schools prepare and ensures student safety from day one.

If you need help accessing Infinite Campus or have questions, your school office is happy to assist.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep all students safe, supported, and accounted for.

Please remember to pick up any medication that your child may have in the clinic by dismissal on the last day of school. You may pick up anytime starting on May 4th. Any medication left in the clinic by the end of the school day (May 22th) will be disposed of.

Also, remember that a new Medication Authorization forms and/or Heath Care Plan for your child will need to be completed by you and your Physician every school year. You can retrieve new forms at: https://www.fultonschools.org/all-departments/academics/district-health-services/clinic-forms.

Thank you, Ankita Doshi

Clinic Assistant

We are excited to share information from our Northview High School Football program about the Northview JR Titans, which serves as an important feeder program for our students.

5th Grade Families,

It’s hard to believe, but we have only six weeks left of school! As we begin counting down to graduation and celebrating our amazing fifth graders, you may be interested in purchasing a 5th Grade Graduation Celebration Yard Sign to recognize your child’s big accomplishment.

These signs are a fun way to celebrate our students as they prepare to move on to middle school and can be displayed proudly in your yard.

👉 Order here:

Thank you for helping us celebrate the Class of 2026. We are so proud of them!

We will not accept any future absence requests between May 11th – May 21st. This time of year is extremely busy as students are taking end of year assessments, completing major projects, and participating in end of year activities with their classes. Therefore, any future absence requests that are made for the final 2 weeks of school will be denied as we have too many critical dates to plan around for this time of year. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to seeing all of our wildcats in attendance as we wrap up the school year.

Also, we need 5 days advance notice before the first requested absence date for all future absence requests. This applies to both pre-approved absence requests and remote learning absence requests. This allows our teachers and staff time to prepare for a students future absence.

Have you volunteered at Wilson Creek this month - for example, Science Force, Staff Appreciation Week, or All Pro Dad? We want to celebrate YOU!🎉Please take a moment to fill out our Volunteer Appreciation Raffle form so we can include you in our special "thank you" drawing. It's our way of showing how much we appreciate everything you do to make our school amazing!

TAKE ATTENDANCE SERIOUSLY

It’s common for students to experience a significant increase in chronic absenteeism during the winter months due to an increase in typical illnesses. If your child must be absent due to illness, please email WCESResidency@fultonschools.org, your child’s (1) legal first and last name, (2) teacher’s name, (3) all the dates your child was absent, and the (4) reason for missing school. Please also copy your child's homeroom teacher on the email. It is important to include a photo or scanned image of the doctor’s note, if you take your child to be seen. If your child is missing a lot of school due to illness, please reach out to our clinic assistant, Ms. Ankita Doshi, for guidance. Chronic absenteeism occurs when students miss 10% or more of school for any reason.

Additionally, it's important that kids arrive to school on time every day. Please remember that our car rider line can back up closer to 7:30. Consider being in line closer to 7:10 or by having your child ride the school bus to prevent tardies.
