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.

October Creating Character: Inclusion + National Bullying Prevention Month

October is National Bullying Prevention, and our creating character word of the month is inclusion. Together, let’s promote a school community where every student, regardless of their background or abilities, feels valued, respected, and welcomed here at WCES.

Dear Families,

As we review our school’s reflection data, we have noticed the highest number of reflections related to two areas: not following directions and being disrespectful toward others. We want to share this information with you so that we can work together to support our students in making positive choices and creating a safe, respectful learning environment for everyone.

At school, we emphasize the importance of being Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn. Following directions, listening to adults, speaking kindly to others, and treating classmates with respect are essential parts of these expectations. When students struggle in these areas, it can disrupt learning and affect the overall classroom environment.

We ask that you take a few moments to discuss these expectations with your child at home. Reinforcing the importance of listening, following directions the first time, using respectful language, and making thoughtful choices can make a meaningful difference.

If your child receives a reflection, you will receive communication from your child's teacher. Please be sure to discuss the manner with your child, sign the form, and return it back to school promptly.

Our goal is to work together as a school community to help every student develop the skills needed to be successful both academically and socially. Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we work to ensure that all students feel safe, respected, and ready to learn each day.

The 26-27 Titan Cup competition is coming soon…attached is a flyer for our Cluster Community Night on October 28th from 6:00 – 8:00 PM (park by 5:45 and make your way to the gym).

The event will start in the gym at 6:00 with singing of the national anthem and then we will have a few friendly competitions between Northview cluster schools to see which school can claim the Titan Cup for the 26-27 school year. After awarding the Titan Cup (6:30ish) all the Northview clubs will host a “Trunk or Treat” for students (and siblings!) until 8:00 or the candy runs out, with some food trucks/dinner options available for whoever is interested.

Last year, Wilson Creek won the cup! We would love to see our Wildcat families in the stands to cheer us and help us bring the cup home again!

"Kid Chess congratulates four Wilson Creek students who participated in our Kid Chess First Timers Chess Tournament on October 3, 2026. The tournament's purpose is to introduce students to the experience and prepare them for regular chess tournaments.

Congratulations to Levi Yin (K) and Johnny Niu (2nd grade) who received medals for their tournament wins, and to Alina Zhu (2nd grade) and Kiaan Malhotra (3rd grade) who received trophies for their plus scores.

We host First Timers Tournaments along with regular Scholastic Tournaments throughout the year at our Chess Zone/Kid Chess location at 2500 Old Alabama Road, Suite 11, Roswell, GA 30076. For more information, visit www.kidchess.com or call our office at (770) 575-5802. “

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.
