Georgia Early Literacy Legislation π
Recently, the state of Georgia has introduced new early literacy legislation aimed at improving reading skills among our young learners. We want to make sure you are fully informed about what this means for your child. Please review the letter linked below for details.
FCS Code of Conduct π
Just 2 weeks left to sign this required document! All students and families in all Fulton County Schools are required to review the Code of Conduct which outlines the behavior expectations of our scholars. Please click the button below and take a moment to review this important document. Within it you will also locate information about FERPA/student privacy (pages 69-70) and student device agreements (pages 74-75). Upon completion, all families must document that they've reviewed the Code of Conduct. Please see attachment for directions to verify you've completed this important step by August 31.
Birthday Treats π§
Are you looking for a way to celebrate your child's birthday at school? While treats and goodie bags are not permitted, parents are welcome to purchase dessert treats from the cafeteria for your childβs class during their scheduled lunch time. If you're interested, check out the flyer and order form! This information can also be found on our school website. You may return your order form to your child's teacher.
