WCES Staffing Updates
Exciting Staffing Updates!
We’re thrilled to share some important staffing news as we continue to grow and prioritize the needs of our students.
Welcome Rachel Pritchett!
Rachel has officially joined our fifth-grade team. Last week, she worked diligently to set up her classroom, connect with her grade-level team, and meet with our administrative staff. Her class will be opening very soon, and we’re confident she will make a meaningful impact in our upper grades.
Supporting Student Success
To better support our learners, we’re adding additional staff members to help reduce the student-teacher ratio. This means more individualized attention and increased support in the classroom—a win for both students and teachers!
Ongoing Recruitment
We are actively interviewing candidates for an open second-grade teaching position and a kindergarten paraprofessional role. Our commitment remains strong in finding the best possible individuals to join our team, and we’ll keep you updated throughout the process.

Progress Reports and Viewing Grades
The first progress report of the year will be available for viewing in Campus Parent on Friday, September 19th. This is a 4.5 progress report of the first semester. Please remember there are not many grades at this time of the year which can result in extreme grades (high or low). Course averages accumulate throughout the semester with the final grade coming at the end of the semester. As always, we encourage you to check Campus Parent frequently to review your child's grades.

Fulton County Attendance Reminder-REPEAT
ALL IN ON ATTENDANCE – Building Strong Routines
September is the perfect time to set consistent morning and bedtime routines that make school attendance a natural habit. Students who start the year strong are more likely to maintain excellent attendance all year long. Students who miss fewer than 5 days in the first semester are 3 times more likely to stay on track in reading and math. The late bell rings at 7:40am for elementary school. Students should be in their classroom ready to learn at that time.

Stay tuned for more details, including volunteer opportunities and exciting highlights from the fair. Thank you for your support in making this event a success!
