Q. What is the procedure for picking my student up early?

A. If a student needs to be picked up early, a note should be sent with the student to the front office in the morning, stating the time the parent would like him/her at the front office. The student will get it stamped by the office and this is the pass to come up front to be checked out. We do this so as not to interrupt the class and instructional time. Please do not call the front office requesting your child be sent to the front office. Once you are in the building, we call them up.

Q. What if my student forgets something and I need to bring it to school?

A. While we hope that students come prepared each day, we have 3 light blue carts in front of the front office windows labeled by grade level. We have a table next to the carts stocked with tape, markers and paper for labeling items dropped off. Place the item on the cart of your students’ grade level. Unfortunately, we do not call students for forgotten items. The student may pick up items between classes or at lunch time from the cart.

Q. What if my student forgets his/her device?

A. Parents can drop the device at the front desk where we keep them until the student comes to get them. It is the students' responsibility to pick them up between classes or at lunch time. Unfortunately, we are unable to call into classrooms for forgotten items.

Q. What if my child gets sick at school?

A. If your student feels sick during the school day, he/she should always go to the clinic. The clinic needs to keep a record of students who are ill. Students SHOULD NOT call or text on their cell phones or smart watches for parents to pick them up.

Q. Is my child allowed to use their cell phone to call home?

A. Cell phones are not allowed to be used during school time. There is a phone in the front office if the student needs to call home. We encourage students to come prepared to school each day, thus the phone is for emergencies only.

Q. Where do I turn in student attendance notes?

A. If your student is out of school, there needs to be a parent or doctors note sent into the front office within 5 days of being absent.

You may email Jackie Dejo at Dejo@fultonschools.org.

Q. What time are students allowed into the school in the morning?

A. The school opens at 8:00 a.m.

Q. Do I need to call the front office if my student is sick for the day?

A. You DO NOT need to call the front office if a student is out sick. Upon returning to school, send a note to the front office and the attendance will be adjusted.

Q. What if my child comes to school late?

A. Parents DO NOT need to bring children in if they are late. Students DO have to report to the office to get a pass to their classroom.

Q. Are students allowed to leave the building without checking out?

A. A parent MUST always come to the front office to check students out of school. This is for the safety of the student.

Note: 1. If someone else is checking your student out they must be on the Infinite Campus Parent Portal Contact list and have their ID.

2. You may also send a note in with your student with the first and last name of the person picking your child up.

Remember to always send a note with your student to the front desk the morning of the check-out. Please be prepared to show your ID.

Students are not allowed to ride on other students buses or get off at different stops.

This is to ensure the safety of your student.

If you completed the Volunteer Registration before June 2022, you are REQUIRED to complete an application again using the link below. The good news is that this will cover multiple schools, so you only have to fill out the form once and make sure you cover all of the schools you have children attending.

This may be an inconvenience, but it's necessary to ensure the safety of all our students and is required by Safety & Security for Fulton County Schools. It is MANDATORY before you are permitted to volunteer in the building or in a capacity where students will be present.

Luckily the process takes less than 5 minutes! And will be active for two (2) years.

Please click the link below to complete the process immediately.

Regulación emocional y relaciones saludables Información proporcionada por Saprea, https://saprea.org

La decepción, la pérdida, la anticipación, la emoción o la ira son difíciles de manejar para las mentes maduras, por lo que puede imaginar (y tal vez incluso recordar) lo abrumadoras que pueden ser estas emociones para un niño o adolescente. Ser capaz de hacer frente a las emociones fuertes, a veces conocidas como regulación emocional, es una parte importante de su hijo que establece y mantiene relaciones saludables y útiles.

No es sorprendente que los niños que sienten que pueden manejar sus emociones también sean más propensos a sentirse seguros y contentos. Lo que puede ser sorprendente, sin embargo, es que la regulación emocional puede desempeñar un papel en el abuso sexual infantil. La soledad, los sentimientos de desconexión o vergüenza pueden contribuir a que un niño sea vulnerable al abuso sexual, por lo que ayudar a un niño a superar esos sentimientos abrumadores es importante para su seguridad y bienestar. (¡Y también hace que criarlos sea mucho más fácil!). Visite nuestra página de Recursos para hacer frente a las emociones para obtener sugerencias y actividades.
