Wildcat Parents,

Next week we will begin administering the district's Winter Interim for grades 6-8. Please ensure on the designated testing days that your scholar is prepared to take the assessment. They will need a charged device, pencil, and scratch paper. Also, encourage your scholar to do their very best within the time allotted.

Thanks,

Wildcat Families,

As we return to face-to-face instruction, it is important that we ensure the safety of all students, staff, and visitors in Fulton County Schools. The Fulton County Board of Health and Fulton County Schools have developed an online portal for FCS parents/guardians to report student COVID-19 related cases.

At this time we are asking that parents/guardians of FCS students submit a COVID-19 Report ONLY if your student fits into one or more of the following categories:

a) Has tested Positive for COVID-19 in the past 15 days

b) Currently waiting for the results of a test for COVID-19

c) Has been in close contact (within 6 feet for at least 15 minutes) in the past 15 days with someone diagnosed with COVID-19

If your student fits into one or more of the above categories, please begin the form by clicking the link below. Your report will be sent directly to the Fulton County Board of Health.

If your student does not fit into any of the above categories, a COVID-19 report is not required at this time. Please monitor your child's symptoms and follow-up with your healthcare provider or contact the school clinic, if you have any concerns.

Please DO NOT send your child to school if he or she fits into any of the above categories or is otherwise ill or unwell If your student meets any of the above criteria or is ill or unwell, DO NOT send your student to school until you have spoken with your healthcare provider, one of the FCS Student Health Services School Nurses, or a public health official.

COVID Reporting Link: https://fultonschools.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6hWlX46FNk8pNlz

DISCLAIMER: Please note you may be asked some sensitive health and personal questions in this form. This information may be transmitted and used by Fulton County Board of Health and/or Fulton County Schools Student Health Services for case investigation and contact tracing, reporting purposes, and any necessary follow-up from the school district. However, the information is strictly confidential and exempt from disclosure under applicable law.

The district will continue to monitor community coronavirus data, but decisions about potential closures of schools due to new COVID-19 cases will be made using the FCS Closing Matrix. The process will allow for localized closures based on each case, giving the district the option to close and/or quarantine within a limited, impacted area, such as an individual classroom or school.

Parents, please click here to view the most recent Fulton County Department of Health Epidemiology Report.

Thank you and please stay safe.

Thank you,

RMS Administration
