We want to take a moment to thank everyone for helping keep our carpool line running as smoothly and safely as possible. As a quick reminder, we need everyone's continued cooperation to ensure fairness and compliance with traffic and community rules. We encourage all families to review their carpool agreement to make sure they are familiar with the expectations and procedures in place. To help avoid longer wait times, consider arriving during the earlier window between 7:10 AM and 7:25 AM, when traffic is significantly lighter. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work together to keep the carline safe, efficient, and fair for everyone. As a reminder: Your child will NEVER be marked tardy if they take the bus! 🚌

Spirit Night at Chick-fil-A on Tuesday!

Just let your cashier know that you're there to support Wilson Creek and a portion of sales will support our school.

As part of our ongoing efforts to support digital safety, we’re excited to share that Fulton County Schools will launch Qustodio on October 20th, a free app that helps parents monitor and manage their child’s online activity. This tool gives families insight into how students use both district-issued and personal devices.

• For district-issued devices:

o Parents can see how much time their child spends online, which apps are being used, and what searches are conducted during the school day.

o Families can also set time limits and restrictions outside of normal school hours to encourage healthy screen time habits.

• For student personal devices (optional):

o Parents can choose to install Qustodio on personal devices to monitor usage and set limits at home.

o Fulton County Schools does not have any visibility or access to data from student or parent/guardian personal devices — that information is visible only to the parent or guardian who installs the app.

After October 20th, use this link: Qustodio.com/my-school. Please use your Parent Portal email address during the sign-up process.

Thank you for helping us promote responsible digital habits and strengthen the partnership between home and school. For any questions or support, please contact myschool@qustodio.com.

For the month of September, our students focused on the character trait of Responsibility—taking ownership of their actions, making good choices, and doing their part at school and at home. We’re proud to recognize students who consistently demonstrated this important trait in their daily behavior.

Congratulations to our Responsibility Award winners! These students have shown what it means to be dependable, thoughtful, and accountable. Keep up the great work!

Please consider volunteering for Science Force, a parent-led PTO sponsored program which provides hands-on learning in alignment with your student's science curriculum. No previous science experience is required! We will provide you with a short guide before the lab and hands-on training will be provided by your Science Force lead during the first 15 minutes of your volunteer time. This is a great way to spend an hour of your time to contribute to your student's science education.

Please email Ashley Mayer at WCESScienceForce@gmail.com with any questions.

Join us for an exciting week of friendly bidding at Wilson Creek's PTO Silent Auction! You'll have the chance to win amazing items, unique experiences, and special treats - all while supporting our school! Take a look at our sneak peek to see some of the amazing items up for bid!

Date of Auction: TBD

ALL IN ON ATTENDANCE – Building Strong Routines
Every Day Adds Up As fall activities begin, it’s easy to let a day or two slip by—but each absence matters. Keep attendance strong to build momentum for the rest of the year. Students who miss 2–4 days in the first quarter are 5 times more likely to be chronically absent by year’s end. The late bell rings at 7:40am. Students should be in their classroom ready to learn at that time.

Book Fair Grocery Bag Donations

We’re thrilled to announce that this year’s Book Fair will be held October 6–9 in our Media Center! It’s always a magical time for students to explore new stories and grow their love of reading.

To help make the experience smooth and fun for everyone, we’re asking for donations of grocery bags. If you have extra bags at home, we’d love to put them to good use!

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!
