Wolf Creek Weekly
Building Pathways To Success
From The Principal's Desk April 28, 2019
Greetings!
Happy Sunday! The days are moving FAST! With 19 more days of the 18-19 school year, we still have a lot in store our WCES Family.
Thanks to all of our volunteers that supported our School Clean Up Day sponsored by Comcast CARES and The City of South Fulton!
Field Days are here! We hope to see you this week. See the grade level dates below.
Parents, we need your assistance. We are seeing an increase in inappropriate use of technology by our students. Be reminded that unless requested by their teacher for instructional purposes, students do not need cell phones during the school day. Staff members are with our students throughout the day for emergency purposes. We do understand the need for some of our students to have cell phones for dismissal purposes. If your child has your permission to bring a cell phone to school for after school reasons, please remind them that they should be inside of their book bags turned off. They should not be on their person at any time during the instructional day. Also, please review digital citizenship and responsibility with your child. Parents are encouraged to review their child's cell phone usage and history often to intervene if there are inappropriate usage of the various apps, email, etc. Also, remind students to take good care of their school devices so that we may keep them in good use and in circulation for daily instruction. Below are a few links about Digital Citizenship that can be used as resources when discussing this topic with your child. Thanks for your support.

Strategic Plan Survey for Parents
The SP2022 district staff and family surveys will launch Monday, April 29, 2019. This brief 10-minute survey is critical in helping us understand how we are supporting our staff, families, and students across our district and schools.
Let's make record numbers in completing the surveys from WCES.
ACCESS: The surveys will be sent via email to all families and staff from FCSS Communications. This year, the survey will have a drop-down menu in the top right corner to select three other languages: Spanish, Simple Chinese, and Korean.
The surveys will also be available electronically through this link https://tinyurl.com/Fulton2022 .
It only gets busier as we end the school year, so check out our school webpage and weekly newsletters for more information on the great things happening at Wolf Creek ES.
Please check the school website often. We update the site regularly. The school calendar, handbooks, PTA and SGC information can be found there.
Thanks for all you do! Let's Go Wolves!
In Partnership,
Principal Glass

BIRTHDAY PARTIES
While we understand the importance of birthdays, we cannot have individual birthday parties during the instructional day in the classroom. All student birthdays are recognized by the school through our morning announcements, birthday ribbons and/or tokens. In order to maximize instructional time and to minimize interruptions, your child can be recognized for his/her birthday during his/her lunch period only. One small treat such as pre-wrapped, store bought cupcakes or ice cream cups is acceptable. Please refrain from bringing food, party favors, balloons, large cakes, etc. Parents may contact your child's teacher to make arrangements for a small lunch treat.
CAFETERIA
The school cafeteria offers several choices of nutritional, well-balanced meals each day. In addition to the regular hot food lines, salads are available. Breakfast is served from 7:10 a.m. until 7:35 a.m. each school day.
Student cost for breakfast is: $1.05
Student cost for lunch is: $2.45
Adult cost for breakfast is: $1.55
Adult cost for lunch is: $3.45
Weekly purchases may be prepaid on Monday mornings or purchased on a daily basis. Students are encouraged to pre-pay for the week rather than on a daily basis. Students are not permitted to charge lunches more than three times. A student may charge again when the three charges are paid in full. ALL students must complete a new application within the first 30 days of school. Failure to so will result in irreversible charges to the student account.
Parents may sign up for online lunch payments at Visit www.MyPaymentsPlus.com
More information regarding Fulton County Schools’ Nutrition program can be found at: http://www.fultonschools.org/en/divisions/ops/Nutrition/Pages/default.aspx
You are welcome to join your child for lunch in the cafeteria at his/her scheduled lunch time. A visitor’s pass from the main office is required. If you would like to purchase a school lunch, the cost is $3.45 for adults. You may bring your child a lunch of your choosing. Outside restaurant packaging is not allowed in the cafeteria but you may choose to place items in a different container or have lunch in another designated area with your child. Due to the safety of all students and to avoid any allergic reactions, parents/guests may not bring or share any snacks or food items of any kind with other students.
Thanks for your support!
Our School Day Start/End Times
Thanks in advance for your support in ensuring that our students get to school each day on time and ready for instruction. Breakfast begins at 7:10 a.m. and ends at 7:35 a.m. daily so that we can ensure that students are in class on time to begin their instructional day. School instructional hours are from 7:40 a.m. —2:20 p.m. each day. Parents are asked to escort their children inside and sign them in if they are tardy. Help us protect the instructional day. Please limit early dismissal/check-outs. If needed, please do so before 2:00 PM. Remember keep your child’s pick up and emergency contacts updated and to sign in during each visit. ID is required for anyone visiting or checking your child our of school.
