Class Placement Request Form 2022-2023 School Year
As you are aware, we spend a tremendous amount of time creating our classes for the next school year. Teachers provide information about each child’s math and reading levels, academic strengths and weaknesses, learning styles and social/emotional needs. In preparing for the 2022-23 School Year, if you feel your child has a special need or there are other considerations you would like to bring to our attention (examples: separate “best friends,” consider personal changes, etc.), please complete the student class placement form. This is an electronic form and can be accessed here: Student Class Placement Request Form
Forms that name or describe a specific teacher will not be considered. Please note, we do our best to honor all requests, but it is not guaranteed and cannot always be met due to other factors such as academic levels, programs, etc. All forms should be submitted by May 10, 2022. Forms from previous years and late forms will not be considered.

Taco Tuesday (with a twist) is coming!
We have a wonderful resource available to help support the social/emotional needs of our students, staff, and community with Taco a certified therapy dog. Taco has a gentle and loving demeanor, who will be visiting the WCES campus on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022. We understand you may prefer your child not to interact with him in a one-on-one environment. If you are unsure or have any question regarding Taco and any interactions with students, please feel free to contact Sara Bryan at saradbryan@gmail.com.
If at this time you DO NOT want your child to have direct personal interaction with Taco, please complete the form below and return it to your child’s home room teacher by Friday, April 29th. If this is the case, please remind your child that he/she cannot approach or interact with Taco
Sincerely, Wilson Creek PTO
Carpool Pups
We want to ease the anxiety that some students feel around Milestones testing so they can relax and focus on being their best. You are invited to help us kick off testing by bringing your well-behaved pup through the carpool line on Wednesday, May 4th. There will be music, dancing and treats for your 4-legged friends!

Grades 3-5 Georgia Milestones Parent Resources-Repeat
Please see the attached file that includes resources for parents for the upcoming Georgia Milestones. Please note, these study resource guides are lengthy and include example items for selected, constructed and extended response. We find that the areas students find most challenging are constructed and extended response. Many students struggle to read the prompt correctly, while others may not give enough evidence and details to support their answers. We suggest using these guides as well as the scoring sampler to practice those constructed and extended responses.
