Science Force
Science Force Labs
Science Force labs are starting this Wednesday, October 14th and will continue throughout the school year. 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. On the sign up, please scroll to your student's teacher's name - there are 2 labs per grade - one in the fall and spring semester. For 4th and 5th grades, please sign up with your homeroom teacher, who may not be your Science teacher.
Please email Ashley Mayer at WCESScienceForce@gmail.com with any questions.

Erin's Law Parent Opt-Out Letter
Fulton County Schools provides one age-appropriate personal safety lesson each year for students in grades K–5 through RethinkEd. These lessons help students understand body safety, personal boundaries, trusted adults, and how to seek help when needed. Lessons are tailored to each grade level and build on learning from previous years. We will be delivering these lessons in November. Families may review lesson materials by contacting the school counselors. If you don't wish to have your child receive the lesson, please fill out this opt out form and return it to school.
