For seniors who applied to a college through Common App required a mid-year transcript with semester 1 grades included, counselors will upload their updated transcripts to Common App starting January 15, 2025. No action is required on your part as Common App will flag colleges that need this information.

Seniors who need a transcript for a non-Common App college will need to request the transcript starting January 15, 2025, the Scriborder. Simply select "Current Student" and complete the form. Transcripts will be sent electronically to the college.

We will have Choice B2 through Friday of this week. If you have make-up work that needs to be done with a teacher, arrange to have it done this week during B2.

Next week (January 13 through 17), we will be on a regular B2 schedule to complete various required activities. On Thursday (January 16), Juniors will report to the theater for a Vape Seminar sponsored by our PTSA.

Cambridge is offering the ACT exam for free at the school on March 6, 2024, at 8:30 am. All juniors will sit for the test. In addition, this is one last free opportunity for seniors who do not yet have a Zell Miller qualifying score on a nationally normed exam (ACT or SAT). Seniors who qualify and want to test should complete the form below to sign up for the March 6 administration. Only seniors who sign up on the form below will be ordered an exam and be allowed to take the ACT in March. Please sign up by Wednesday, January 15, 2025, at 3:30 pm. There will be no extensions.

Senior ACT Sign-Up (only for those seniors who qualify)

We are excited to extend our Off-Campus Lunch Privilege to our Juniors starting in February. This is an EARNED privilege! The requirements are:

• All grades must be 70 or above and on track for graduation.
• No unexcused absences.
• Three or fewer tardies (cumulative).
• No behavior write-ups that resulted in a consequence. We will look at this data from January 7 through February 7. Stickers will be given out the week of February 10. We will review the information again at the end of the 9 weeks.

The off-campus Lunch Privilege is reviewed every nine weeks, so if a student does not earn it in the first nine weeks, they can earn it for the second nine weeks. Students who earn the privilege must sign or have their parent/guardian sign a waiver of liability and receive a sticker on their Student ID before they are allowed to exercise lunch privileges. Students must wear their badge and display their stickers at all times, even when entering and exiting the building.

This is a reminder to seniors and juniors who may earn the privilege—this privilege is for lunch only. It does NOT apply to B² or any other time of the day and can be revoked at any time a rule is broken. Seniors or juniors caught off campus during B² and/or skipping classes will lose off-campus lunch privilege as part of the discipline consequences for those actions.

Please note that the deadline to order graduation packages, including caps and gowns, has passed. If you have not ordered your seniors package, a rush charge has been added to the fee to ensure it arrives in time. If unsure if you have ordered, send your senior's name to Carol Bybee at bybeec@fultonschools.org for verification. For more information and to order, visit the Senior Activity and Graduation Package.
