Q. Can my child ride home on the bus with a friend?
A. No, students are not permitted to ride on a friend's bus. Please make carpool arrangements.
Q. What is the procedure for picking my student up early?
A. If a student needs to be picked up early, a note should be sent with the student to the front office in the morning, stating the time the parent would like him/her at the front office. The student will get it stamped by the office and this is the pass to come up front to be checked out. We do this so as not to interrupt the class and instructional time. Please do not call the front office requesting your child be sent to the front office. Once you are in the building, we can call them up.
Q. What if my student forgets something and I need to bring it to school?
A. While we hope that students come prepared each day, we have 3 light blue carts in the front office labeled by grade level. We have a small shelf next to the carts stocked with tape, markers and paper for labeling items dropped off. Place the item on the cart of your students' grade level. Unfortunately, we do not call students for forgotten items. The student may pick up items between classes or at lunch time from the cart.
Q. What if my student forgets his/her device?
A. Parents can drop the device at the front desk where we keep them until the students come to get them. It is the students' responsibility to pick them up between classes or at lunch time. Unfortunately, we are unable to call into classrooms for forgotten items.
Q. What if my child gets sick at school?
A. If your student feels sick during the school day, he/she should always go to the clinic. The clinic needs to keep a record of students who are ill. Students SHOULD NOT call or text on their cell phones or smart watches for parents to pick them up.
Q. Is my child allowed to use their cell phone to call home?
A. Cell phones are not allowed to be used during school time. There is a phone in the front office if the student needs to call home. We encourage students to come prepared to school each day, thus the phone is for emergencies only.
Q. Where do I turn in student attendance notes?
A. If your student is out of school, there needs to be a parent or doctors note sent into the front office or emailed within 5 days of being absent.
You may email Jackie Dejo at Dejo@fultonschools.org.
Q. How do I get my students absence to be excused?
A. To have your students absent reflect (excused) in Infinite Campus, you will need to submit a note to the front desk or email Jackie Dejo at Dejo@fultonschools.org
Q. Do I need my ID when checking out my student?
A. Please be prepared to show your ID when checking out your student. This is for the safety of our students, faculty and staff.
Q. What if my student needs medication at school?

This includes prescription and over the counter medications of any kind. You may also fill out an SHS - 1 form to keep medication, prescription or over the counter, in the clinic. Our clinic assistant will dispense per orders from form.

Q. Are students allowed to leave the building without checking out?
