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.

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.
