It's time to start reading.....

From January 1st to January 31st, Autrey Mill will participate in Beanstack’s Fifth Annual Winter Reading Challenge, “Read for a Better World,” sponsored by Lerner Publishing Group. We challenge our school to read at least 150,000 minutes during the month and keep track of their reading on our Beanstack site. Students can access Beanstack by going to Classlink, clicking eLibrary, then clicking Beanstack. Thousands of other libraries and schools across the nation are joining in too, for a chance at winning prizes including book collections, signed books, and virtual author visits. Our school is currently ranked #1 in logged minutes in Fulton County, but other schools are catching up quickly!


Happy reading, Lions!

FCS COVID 19 Reporting Procedures

FCS COVID 19 Reporting

Due to the ever-changing nature of this pandemic, the district will continue to monitor COVID data and recommendations, consult with public health officials, and make additional adjustments as necessary. If your child is sick, please keep them home. Families are still required to report a confirmed positive case of COVID-19, a pending COVID-19 test result (regardless of the reason for testing), and a direct contact with a person who is COVID-19 positive. FCS student/parents must use the Parent Reporting Portal to make the COVID-19 report.
