Bringing Food/Candy to School
As we approach the upcoming holidays, it important to remind parents and families that candy, desserts, baked goods (store bought/homemade), or any other edible items are not to be sold or distributed at school or on the bus unless approved in advance by school administration. Per our Student Code of Conduct, students who do not adhere to this expectation are subject to disciplinary action for violation 7A: Failure to Follow Rules and all candy or food items will be confiscated. Please discuss this expectation and possible consequences with your student(s) as this will be taken very seriously. This is due to recent national and state reports about students sharing edible items and synthetic medications with other students that contain very harmful substances.
Please know that taking this measure will help us maintain a safe environment for all students. You can help us protect your student(s) by requesting that they not eat anything given to them by another person, anything that they have not brought from your home or anything not in its original sealed package.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping all of our students safe at school!
REPORT, don't REPOST!
“Report, Don’t Repost” aims to help students and families to understand the importance of reporting threats seen on social media, rather than reposting them. In today's digital age, harmful content can spread quickly, creating panic and confusion. By encouraging our community to report threats directly to local authorities or use our anonymous tip line, simultaneously helping to prevent the spread of misinformation. Students also need to understand passing along threats online slows down police investigations and could result in charges to them.
- If you see or hear a threat on social media, report it to local authorities immediately.
- You can also Report a Safety Concern anonymously at www.fultonschools.org/tipline.
- Do not post on social media where it can cause confusion and put you at risk.
FCS Digital Citizenship Learning Journey
The world often refers to our students as "digital natives," but we know from our own experience that new technology arrives and evolves at a rapid pace. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the new kid on the block in terms of recent news coverage, and our Hawks are certainly living in a time where they will likely begin to explore this tool.
It is important for educators and families to stay in the know as well so that we can work together to help our students navigate the current digital frontier in responsible, ethical, creative, and beneficial ways. Check out this article from Common Sense Media to review or get familiar with all things artificial intelligence: "Parents' Ultimate Guide to Generative AI."
