🎉 Principal Pride Spotlight 🎉

We are thrilled to celebrate six outstanding students who have been selected for Principal Pride! These students were chosen by our dedicated specialist team from across their entire grade level. Each one exemplifies the Wilson Creek THREE R’s: being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn.

Their actions, attitude, and commitment to excellence make them shining examples of what it means to be a Wilson Creek Wildcat. We are so proud of their achievements and the positive impact they have on our school community.

Congratulations to the following students:

🌟Lori Park, Luke Stegall, Viaan Surwase, Adhira Kageethan, Jenna Daoud, Nimi Adedeji🌟

Keep up the amazing work! Your leadership and character inspire us all.

Congratulations to our outstanding cafeteria manager, Angela Bell, for earning a perfect 100% on her recent health inspection! Her dedication to maintaining exceptional standards of cleanliness and food safety reflects the values we uphold at WCES. We’re incredibly proud of the work she does every day to ensure a safe and welcoming environment for our students.

As always, we welcome parents to join their children for lunch and invite you to purchase meals through our cafeteria. We love having you as part of our school community!

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! 🚌

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.

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!
