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!
Relationships Matter!

October is Bullying Prevention Month (Click Images for info)
6th and 7th Grade Families
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our school cares about the safety and well-being of our students, and we want to make sure
Taylor Road Middle School is a good place for students to learn. We are going to be presenting a Bullying Prevention Presentation to our students. Our goal is to reduce and prevent bullying
problems. This presentation is for all students, not just those who are being bullied or who are
bullying others. Parents and guardians play a key role in this presentation. Student will be asked share with an adult at school and at home if he or she is bullied or sees bullying happening at school. It is very important that we all take any bullying seriously and inform our school staff. Bullying should not be seen as “kids being kids” or something that students just need to deal with. Having a safe school experience is something all students should be able to enjoy.
If you have any questions about the presentation, please reach out to your child’s grade
level counselor.
Sincerely,
TRMS Counseling Department
