IMPORTANT DISTRICT MESSAGE!
Dear Parents or Guardians,
As we approach Valentine’s Day, it is important to remind families and students that candy, desserts, baked goods (store bought/homemade), or other edible items are not to be sold or distributed during school hours. Students who do not adhere to this expectation are subject to disciplinary action for insubordination and all food items will be confiscated. Please discuss this expectation and possible consequences with your student(s).
Please know that taking this measure will help us maintain a safe environment for all students. You can help us protect your student(s) by requesting that they not eat anything given to them by another person, anything that they have not brought from your home or anything not in its original sealed package. Also, to reduce the interaction of front office staff with visitors, any valentine deliveries will not be accepted.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping all of our students safe at school!

WHY IS MY CHILD BEING COUNTED ABSENT?? WHY IS MY CHILD'S GRADE LOW?
What Parents Need to Know about how students are graded and counted present for instruction!
Be online, Be engaged, Complete Assignments... Be Counted! Pay attention to reminders below:
- Student attendance is monitored.
- A student's minutes online, assignment completion and participation, are important aspects of being engaged in learning and being counted as present.
- Please ensure that your students are in class on time and are engaging in Literacy, Math, and other content areas to be counted present for the day.
- Students that fail to return for classes will be documented as "skipping". This will result in a referral to our student support team.
- Parents should provide written documentation for early check-out for medical appointments in both face to face and remote settings. (documents can be emailed to the front office at hallsr@fultonschools.org )
Introducing-- the COVID NINE-TEEN Project! An international Project to support students (not an FCS activity)
WHAT IS THE COVID NINETEEN PROJECT?
Teens mentor elementary school students to keep them motivated and active during quarantine, as well as taking stress off parents by providing daily activity sessions and one-on-one tutoring. (This is not a Fulton County Schools Project... teens are from all over the world)
ACTIVITY HOURS
Monday - Friday: 2:00 - 5:00 PM PST
Saturday - Sunday: 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM PST
TUTORING HOURS
Monday - Friday: 2:00 - 3:00 PM PST & 5:00 - 6:00 PM PST

ACTIVITIES
- Explore the 50+ student-led sessions we are providing this week.
- Sign up for the activities by clicking the button below.
- Don't forget that our Late Sign Up Policy, where you must sign up for your session(s) by 9 PM PST the night before the session for your submission to be recorded, is in motion!
An email with the Zoom link will be sent 2 hours prior to the start of the session.
All supplies needed for the activity will be added onto our website prior to the session.
TUTORING
- You may now only sign your child up for ONE HOUR per day.
- Signing up for one hour does not guarantee your child a full hour due to high demand and time constraints.
- Our Late Sign Up Policy still applies (you must sign up by 9:00 PM PST the night before the session for it to be recorded).
- You will be sent 2 Zoom links.
- You can choose either, but if you have a tutor preference, be sure to check the daily schedule attached to the email to see who will be in each session. However, we cannot guarantee that you will be matched with the specific tutor of your choice.
- Additionally, if the Zoom session your child is in becomes full, you may be asked to use the second link you were provided and switch to the other session.
For each day of this week, we have listed one featured activity. This is only a handful of the hundreds of other incredible activities we have to offer!
