This year (2021), Georgia will recognize the week of February 1 - 5 as Severe Weather Preparedness Week. Severe weather is no stranger to the state. Last year brought a number of severe weather events, including the major Easter Tornado Outbreak. You can read about a couple of these more notable events below:
As we approach what is typically the most active part of the year for severe weather, Severe Weather Preparedness Week provides an excellent opportunity to learn more about the dangers of severe weather, as well as knowing how and when to take proper actions when severe weather is expected and hits. Please take the time now to review your home, school, or businesses preparedness plans. Each day is dedicated to a different topic that addresses severe weather preparedness. Throughout the week, the topics to be covered include:
- Monday - Family Preparedness (NWR + Wireless Emergency Alerts)
- Tuesday - Thunderstorm Safety (Hail & Damaging Wind Threats/Impacts)
- Wednesday - Tornado Safety **NWR TEST Warning Message - 9 AM**
- Thursday - Lightning Safety
- Friday - Flash Flooding/Flood Safety
An important aspect of severe weather warnings includes the information received from the public and spotters. Not only do timely and accurate storm reports help the National Weather Service to verify warnings, but they also help meteorologists better relate radar data with corresponding observed weather. If you observe hail (quarter sized or larger), strong/damaging winds, or a funnel cloud/tornado anywhere across north and central Georgia, please report it to the National Weather Service (Peachtree City/Atlanta Office) at 1-866-763-4466 or by using our online storm report form. To learn more about our local Skywarn spotter program, visit the Storm Spotter Information page.

WHY IS MY CHILD BEING COUNTED ABSENT?? WHY IS MY CHILD'S GRADE LOW?
What Parents Need to Know about how students are graded and counted present for instruction!
Be online, Be engaged, Complete Assignments... Be Counted! Pay attention to reminders below:

- Please ensure that your students are in class on time and are engaging in Literacy, Math, and other content areas to be counted present for the day.
- Students that fail to return for classes will be documented as "skipping". This will result in a referral to our student support team.

Introducing-- the COVID NINE-TEEN Project! An international Project to support students (not an FCS activity)
WHAT IS THE COVID NINETEEN PROJECT?

TUTORING
