Calling 4th and 5th Grade Math Lovers
Wilson Creek is forming our Math Olympiad Team. Math Olympiad is an opportunity for 4th and 5th graders to practice higher-level math problems and participate in competitions with other math lovers around the world. We will be hosting one team of up to 35 students. If your child is interested in this opportunity, please have them pick up an application outside of Ms. Maness’ room, B233.
Applications will be available beginning September 5 and are due by September 16. Applications should be completed by the student and signed by a parent before turning it back in. After we receive all applications, we will hold mandatory tryouts on Thursday, September 19th at 7:10 AM in room B233. Looking forward to it!
Need to Request a Future Absence
We have updated our form to request an absence in advance. As we have shared, pre-approved absences are no longer accepted except in the case of a once in a lifetime event. If your child needs to be out, you may request for him or her to participate remotely. Per FCS Board Policy, students are allowed up to 5 remote learning days per semester. A remote learning day cannot be taken if a major assessment/assignment/project is being given or due. Remote learning also cannot happen outside the country for security reasons. We strongly encourage parents to plan trips and family gatherings around the instructional calendar that is published at least one year in advance on the county website.
You can find the new request form below as well as on our school's website under "Students & Families" --> "Attendance". Please complete the form and email it to Yesenia Sam Bradley at sambradleyy@fultonschools.org.
