This year, PTO wants to thank all volunteers with a monthly raffle where six lucky winners will win a prize every month! After you volunteer, use this form to dedicate your session to one of your students! The more you volunteer, the more entries you earn (with a max of 3 per student). Volunteering can be things you do for Wilson Creek at home, or in-person!

The i-Ready For Families Report continues to be available in the i-Ready portal. This report allows schools to share students’ Diagnostic results digitally by providing access to the For Families report directly on students’ i-Ready dashboard. Families will have digital access to the For Families report after logging in to their student’s i-Ready dashboard and entering our year-long district report code: W7QZLR on the top right-hand corner of the For Families tab. This code is applicable to all students throughout the district and is offered to families so they can directly access student results. It can be found each year in any of your building’s i-Ready School Admin’s platform under Management –> Settings –> All Settings-> Reports -> For Families Report on Student Dashboard.

We’re excited to announce that, due to increased enrollment, we are expanding our team with three new teachers in grades kindergarten, second grade, and fifth grade. This growth presents a wonderful opportunity to better support our students and enrich their learning experience.

Here’s what to expect as we develop these new classes:

1. Volunteers Welcome:
   If you’re open to transitioning into one of the new classrooms, please contact Principal Cerasoli at cerasolik@fultonschools.org as soon as possible to express your interest.

2. Staffing Updates:
   Once staffing decisions are finalized, we’ll introduce the new teachers and share their backgrounds. These educators will likely be joining us from schools experiencing lower enrollment.

3. Family Communication:
   Families impacted by class changes will receive a personal phone call to discuss the transition and answer any questions.

4. Smooth Transitions:
   Grade-level teams will collaborate to ensure a smooth transition for students. We’ll announce the first day of the new classes once everything is in place.

5. Meet & Greet:
   Parents will be invited to a meet-and-greet event to connect with the new teachers and learn more about the classroom experience.

Smaller class sizes are proven to enhance student achievement by allowing for more personalized instruction and stronger teacher-student relationships. We’re confident this change will positively impact our students both academically and socially.
