This is just a reminder that all FCS schools will be closed for the holiday break from Monday, November 23rd to Friday, November 27th. We look forward to seeing our scholars Monday, November 30th.

To ensure children have access to healthy and safe foods that promote optimal development, Fulton County Schools with a Free & Reduced eligibility of 50% or greater will begin distributing Weekend Meals at no cost to families.

Mid-November, qualifying schools will begin sending free weekend food bags home with students. Inside the weekend meal bag, there will be two breakfast meals and two lunch meals, to make sure children eat regularly while away from school over the weekend.

For students not attending school face-to-face, Curbside Meal Kits will also include weekend meals. Free Meal Kit Distribution will continue every Wednesday at Curbside Pick-Up locations throughout the district!

• Elementary School locations are open on Wednesdays from 8:30-9:30.
• Middle School and High School locations are open on Wednesdays from 9:30-10:30.

Meal kits will include a variety of ready-made and reheat-ready choices. Meal safety, reheating instructions, and a menu will be provided in meal kits. Grab & go meal kits will continue to be FREE for all children 18 & under.

For any School Nutrition questions, please contact Alyssia Wright or your Area Supervisor.

Bringing your lunch from home? Let the cafeteria help you - at no cost! Simply pack your favorite main entree and select the Pack Pal at lunch to enhance your lunchbox. This option is available Monday - Friday at all schools in Fulton County.

Breakfasts and lunches are now being served FREE to ALL students! Be sure to take advantage of this opportunity to save time and money.

Wildcat Parents of 7th Grade Scholars,

To help maintain a safe healthy environment for students and to screen students for possible health problems which could affect learning, Georgia law (Georgia Coe 10-1-770 and 20-2-771) requires all students to have a Georgia Certificate of Immunization. Immunization information must be on the proper Georgia Department of Human Resources form (Form 3231); these are available through the Fulton County Department of Health and Wellness or local physicians.

If you have up-to-date immunization records from another state, you need only to have those records transferred to a Georgia 3231 form. Please see your personal doctor or community health center doctor to get an immunization certificate completed. After doing so, bring the completed forms to the office to be entered into your child’s record. We must have an up-to-date immunization record by November 13, 2020. If parents do not return the requested items by Friday, November 13, the student will be withdrawn and not allowed to attend class remotely or in-person.

Please see the flyer below for locations to receive screenings.

Parents, please read regarding the 2020-2021 Screening and Referral Process for Gifted Students.

Wildcat Families,

The Fulton County Board of Health and Fulton County Schools have developed an on-line portal for FCS parents/guardians to report student COVID-19 related cases. Please make a report to the FCBOH when your student is COVID-19 positive, has a pending COVID-19 test result, or has been in direct contact with a COVID-19 positive person. Also, please use this resource for official reporting rather than alerting the school and/or teacher. If you must engage the school/teacher, please do so after you have made an official report to the FCBOH. Lastly, to ensure the protection of our school community, please do not allow your child to attend school or school-sponsored events when he/she is ill and/or has any of the above COVID-19 concerns. Please reference the attached flyer and consider posting it in a visible location for easy access.

Also, Dr. Looney stated the district will continue to monitor community coronavirus data, but decisions about potential closures of schools due to new COVID-19 cases will now be made using the FCS Closing Matrix. The process will allow for localized closures based on each case, giving the district the option to close and/or quarantine within a limited, impacted area, such as an individual classroom or school.

Parents, please click here to view the November 6th Fulton County Department of Health Epidemiology Report. Although the district survey has closed to elect to have your student enrolled in Face to Face learning, if you would like to change your scholar to remote learning, please click the link below. Again, this link is only for students who are currently in the face to face learning (come on campus daily) and would like to switch to remote virtual learning. The selection will remain in place until the last day of 1st semester, December 18th. Please keep in mind that your scholar's schedule may need to change to accommodate the remote election.

Thank you and please stay safe.

Parents, please assist us by ensuring your scholar wears a mask daily and understands the importance of keeping the mask on and wearing it appropriately throughout the day. We will have designated times where students may remove their masks. For example, while eating during lunch or during physical workouts in P.E. We appreciate your assistance with ensuring our scholars remain safe while on campus.

Masks are required by students during face-to-face instruction and while on the school bus.

Additionally,

• The masks must be consistent with CDC recommendations (gaiters and masks with valves are not recommended)
• Masks are required by students during face-to-face instruction and while on the school bus. Additionally,
• Schools should have reusable student masks available to students as needed
• Students should not share masks
• Masks should be worn during CTAE, performing arts, and indoor classes
• Masks are not required when students are participating in aerobic activities
• Students are required to provide a doctor’s note if requesting an exemption to wear a mask

• An employee/student may wear a face shield in conjunction with a mask but not instead of wearing a mask
• Those refusing to wear a mask will not be allowed to enter into the facility or interact with others.

Please see the reminders and flyers below for events that are happening throughout our community! If you have an event that you like to be included in the community corner, please email Diantha Parker at parkerd3@fultonschools.org
