Good morning Fulton Families,

We hope that you had a wonderful weekend and that our students were able to share with you about their adventures to the pumpkin patch. At this point, all of our grade levels were able to visit. A HUGE shout-out to our PTA for hosting this, it is always a fun time for our students.

Warmly,

Dr. Burks, Mrs. Liwosz, & Mrs. Sillers

We are excited to announce the upcoming Digital Citizenship Week 2023 (October 16-20). This initiative aims at promoting responsible and safe online behavior among our students. In today's digital age, our students must develop the skills and awareness necessary to navigate the online world confidently. One critical improvement point is balancing screen time and offline activities. Encourage your children to set limits on their screen time, engage in physical activities, and enjoy face-to-face interactions with friends and family. Use conversation starters like, "What's your favorite non-screen activity?" or "Tell me about a positive online experience you had recently." Additionally, explore resources such as Common Sense Media's Family Media Agreement and ConnectSafely.org for valuable tips and guidelines to help create a healthy digital environment at home.

Last week our kindergartners visited our PTA's pumpkin patch and decorated their pumpkins before bringing them home. Check out some of our youngest designers!
