A Message from Principal Wilson
Can you believe it is February already? Spring semester is flying by and our scholars and staff have been busy this semester ensuring we are mastering standards and engaging in rigorous learning. We have quite a few activities scheduled over the next few weeks and hope that your scholar is ready and willing to participate.
With Valentine's Day quickly approaching, it is important to note that we will not be hosting Valentine's Day parties during the school day. Scholars should not bring food items to school to share with classmates, and no flowers, bears or balloons may be carried to class as these items may cause a disruption to the learning environment. Your understanding and compliance with these requests is appreciated.
Parents, we are asking that you all please speak with your students about the importance of meeting academic and social expectations at school. Our goal is to continue to provide a premier learning experience for all Dolphins. If your scholar is not focused and ready to learn, it can create an environment that is not conducive to learning for others. We ask that you continue to encourage productive behavior at school in order for all of our scholars to succeed. Please take time to schedule parent teacher conferences in order to establish a partnership between you and your scholars teacher. Together we can achieve so much more!
Please take a look at the events on the horizon for the next few weeks:

Volunteering at Randolph
We are excited to welcome volunteers back into our building this year! We love having volunteers in our building on a regular basis. Volunteers must be pre-approved and scheduled to support in areas of greatest need. Parents will not be allowed to volunteer in their scholar's classroom during instructional time to avoid distraction.
Please remember that if you are going to volunteer at Randolph ES in any capacity (in the classroom, in the media center, cafeteria, or at a school event, etc.) you must watch the volunteer video and fill out the volunteer form prior to coming to the building. Once you complete the training, it takes up to 48 hours to process your approval. All approved volunteers must re-apply for volunteer status every two calendar years.
Please follow the link to Fulton County’s website, to complete the necessary volunteer online training and application. The link below will direct you to the district's volunteer process.
Arrival and Dismissal
- Morning car rider drop-off will take place in the front of the school. Randolph staff will be present at the carpool loop to receive students from 7:10am until 7:40am daily. Parents must park vehicles and escort students into the building and sign-in after 7:40am.
- Bus rider parents, school busses depart our campus at 2:25pm daily. The FCS Code of Conduct applies to all students transported by school bus.
- Afternoon car riders will be picked up in the front of the school. Cars will enter through the main entrance to the school from Campbellton Rd. Please have your car rider number ready in the window.
- Afternoon car rider parents, please make sure your scholar is picked up by 2:45pm.
- If picked up from school after 2:45pm, your scholar will be seated in the front office. Please park and come in to sign your scholar out. Parents who fail to pick up their scholars before 2:45pm in excess of 3 times will be required to either use bus transportation or secure after school care. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Safety is our priority.
- As with students arriving tardy, students who are excessively picked up late are subject to residence verification.
- Early student pick-up ends at 2:00pm daily. Please contact the school if in need of emergency early pick-up.
Here Comes the Bus
Thank you to those of you who have made sure you are at the bus stop to receive your scholar or for making arrangements for someone to be there. The number of scholars being brought back to the school has decreased. If your scholar is brought back to the school more than 3 times, you will be requested to enroll him/her in an afterschool program. Scholars being brought back to the school creates a hardship for our bus drivers and our administrative staff as they are not able to attend after school meetings or complete work tasks while supervising the students who have been returned.
Please download the Here Comes the Bus App to assist you with knowing when to report to the bus stop to meet your child(ren).
If you do not know your scholar's bus stop times or location, log into our transportation portal for this information.
To do this, visit http://edulogweb.fultonschools.org/livewq/webquery/ and type in your street name and number (It works best if you leave off the Rd, St suffix, i.e. Cascade instead of Cascade Rd.)
Due to a bus driver shortage, transportation challenges are expected to affect bus routes and on-time arrivals at schools this year. Parents and students are encouraged to sign up for our free “Here Comes the Bus” app that allows students and parents to track their bus in real time. Alerts notify parents when the bus is just a few blocks away from the bus stop, offering safety for students and peace of mind for parents.
