The FAST Flyer

We are so excited that so many of our students are returning to FAST next year! If your plans have changed and you will not be returning to FAST, please be sure to email admissions@fastk8.org so that we may offer your student's seat to a child on the waitlist.

Report cards for second semester are now available in Infinite Campus. You may find your student's report card by logging in to your parent portal, and clicking Documents in the list menu.

We recently sent an email to all of our rising 7th & 8th grade families with a form to request their class preferences for music, art, and coding. If you have not already responded to this survey, please do so asap.

The PTO will be holding a gently used uniform sale on July 24 from 10:30-12:30pm. This will be held in conjunction with the annual Popsicles with the Principal event which will take place from 11am-12pm at FAST.

Used uniform donations may be placed in the gray box beside the front entrance of Innovation Hall.

Per our charter, all students who attend FAST must reside within the Fulton County School district (FCS). Residency is verified at various points of enrollment. If your student will be in 6th grade in the 2024-25 school year, we will require verification that you still reside within the FCS district. You may find a list of acceptable documents on the FCS website: https://www.fultonschools.org/Page/660

Documents should be emailed to alexandra.hernandez@fastk8.org. If you are not able to provide the necessary documents, please contact Ms. Hernandez as soon as possible.

Georgia Certificate of Immunization Form 3231 is required for all students registered for school. In order to ensure that these are up to date, parents/guardians of 7th grade students must provide a current 3231 form for their student. We will require this information by no later than September 30. Please email completed forms to: alexandra.hernandez@fastk8.org.

If you would like to have your student(s) name(s) added to the bus lottery, please complete this form by no later than June 30. https://forms.gle/xoH38jzzsi9VLj519

Assuming we have more students who want transportation than there are seats on the bus, we will have a lottery the following week and inform those who got a spot. If you did not get a seat on the bus, you will be placed on the waitlist. We ask that if you do get a seat on the bus, you intend to use it consistently both mornings and afternoons. If you do not use the bus regularly, we may forfeit your seat for another student on the waitlist.

Each year we create an optional database for parents to connect with one another for the purposes of carpool. We do not carry over information from prior years so if you are looking for a family with whom you can share the drive, please add your information here:

https://forms.gle/vi9BED8snWxPN1NJ8

Only families who have added their information to this list will be granted access to the list of other families. While this is optional, we encourage all of our families to carpool if possible. Not only is it good for the environment, it helps reduce the number of cars in the carpool line which makes carpool faster for everyone.
