Technology is used throughout the instructional day in all classrooms. All 3rd-5th grade students have been issued a FCS's student device. These devices will be used by students both at school and at home. Families must sign the user agreement in Infinite Campus under documents within the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus for the issued devices. CLICK HERE for the steps for signing the user agreement within the Parent Portal. Printed copies of the user agreements have also been distributed to parents that did not sign the agreement in the Parent Portal in Infinite Campus. A signed user agreement if required by FCS for all students. Our PK-2nd grade classes have also been provided with technology. However, these devices will remain at school.
Lastly, please remember that we DO NOT receive students until 7:00 am. Pleas refrain from dropping students off prior to 7:00 am. Leaving students at the school unattended is a major safety concern.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out at any time cantya@fultonschools.org. Let's make it a great week!
Kind Regards,
Principal Canty
