Fall 2024 Climate & Culture Surveys
As part of our District's Strategic Plan, we will again be surveying students (grades 6-12), parents/guardians, and staff to gather information to assess the climate and culture of Fulton Public Schools. These anonymous surveys will be emailed to the respective groups Monday, November 11th and the findings will be used to support continuous improvement planning. We encourage you to take this opportunity to provide your feedback on our schools.
Please look for these surveys in your email Monday, November 11th. Also, please note that the surveys will close Friday, November 22nd.
If you do not receive a survey invitation and believe you should have, please reach out to our Communications Office at communications@fulton58.org or 573.590.8000.

"I Love U Guys" Foundation's Standard Response Protocol
Fulton Public Schools has adopted the "I Love U Guys" Foundation's Standard Response Protocol (SRP) as part of our district wide emergency operations plan.
The SRP is based on an all-hazards approach as opposed to individual scenarios. SRP utilizes clear common language while allowing for flexibility in protocol.
The premise is simple - there are five specific actions that can be performed during an incident. Execution of the action is performed by active participants, including students, staff, teachers and first responders. The SRP is based on the following actions: Hold, Secure, Lockdown, Evacuate, and Shelter.
