Each picture will be displayed on our Wall of Honor, allowing us all to reflect on the courage and dedication of those who have served.

Dear Parent/Guardian,
At Fulton County Schools, we truly value the feedback from our parents about their experiences with the district. That is why I encourage all parents to take the Annual Parent Perception Survey. This survey allows parents the opportunity to tell us what they think about their student’s schools and the district. While we always make it a priority to listen to our parents, this survey affords us another opportunity to receive your thoughts and opinions.
The survey is anonymous and confidential. Please complete one survey per school where you have one or more students enrolled. The survey will remain open from Wednesday, October 16 through Friday, November 22.
It’s not only parents we want to hear from. Our students’ opinions are important too! Students in grades 3-12 will be provided with the opportunity to take the Annual Student Perception Survey between October 17 and November 22 during the school day. In our ongoing efforts to remain transparent with parents, please take a moment to review the 3-5 student survey and/or the 6-12 Student Survey.
The Annual Perception Survey is currently available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, and Punjabi. If you or your family would like to take it in a language that is not listed, please email your child’s principal.
The parent FAQ is now available in:
To access the parent survey, click https://www.fultonschools.org/AnnualParentSurvey . Thank you in advance for making your voice heard!

Welcome to November!
We have finished the first quarter of the school year, and it has been full of good things from our Counseling PLC team! We left October in the "wind"!! Here are a few of our big-ticket items. We completed our bullying presentations with our 6th and 7th graders, our Red Ribbon Week was a success - check-out door decorations- we appreciate all the participants, and a cookie party is happening for our winners! We continued with our small groups- Growing Friends (7th), New Student (6-8th), Transition to Middle School Group (6th grade). Ms. Green has added another hat to her many roles and now she is assisting the SST/RTI process. We had our Parent Presentation on Attendance Awareness with ( Ms. Adams and Ms. Sheridan) and we ended the month with our 8th grade College and Career Fair. We look forward to our month of gratitude starting in November!
