We will have a Virtual Parent meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 1st at 6:30 pm. Please plan to attend so that we can update you with important information related to the end of Trimester I and the beginning of Trimester II. Here is the link to join the meeting.

Fulton Connect Provides Hands-On Training at FCCA
Fulton College and Career Academy (FCCA), in collaboration with the Georgia Restaurant Association and the Fulton Education Foundation, is currently hosting, "Fulton Connect". This three-session, bootcamp style program is designed to bridge the shortage of food service workers by growing the workforce in the food service industry. It brings together program directors, educators, academic administrators, industry specialists, parents, and students in a joint effort to target community growth and empowerment by implementing effective and sustainable programing with measurable results.
The Fulton Connect program is a great opportunity for students to get hands on training from experienced chefs. Through sessions led by experienced and renowned food service industry leaders, students are trained in Servsafe, knife skills, cooking methods, and baking and pastry. Students learn many skills and techniques and are often quite shocked and extremely proud of the dishes they create during their Fulton Connect experience. In addition to being a huge confidence builder, students also receive their Servsafe Certification which certainly helps with gaining employment in the food service industry.
FCCA is very appreciative of the opportunity to work with this initiative and can see first-hand the benefits it has on students.

Friendly Reminders
Student Expectations:
Dress Code expectations are that our students come to CCA prepared for opportunity to knock. That means our students are ready to collaborate with industry professionals on any given day. Please ensure your students are dressed appropriately. We expect all Academy students to model the tenants of PCCLI (Professionalism, Character, Collaboration, Leadership, Innovation) in their behavior and dress code.
Early Dismissal/Late Arrival:
- Students who arrive on campus after the start of the class must check in through the front office where they will be given a late pass to class.
- Any student who will be picked up from CCA prior to the end of the class must be checked out through the front office. A parent/guardian listed in Infinite Campus must come into the CCA and check their student out before the student will be released.
- Students should not request any type of rideshare (Uber/Lyft, etc.) to leave campus.
Transportation to and from CCA:
- To keep all students safe, it is imperative that our students enter the building as soon as they are dropped off.
- Students are not allowed to leave campus for any reason without being checked out in the front office by a parent/guardian. Any student who wishes to drive to the Academy must apply for a parking pass. Once approved, the student will be issued a parking pass that should be visible from the windshield of their car.
- If you and your student have not completed the parking pass application and you wish to have them drive to our campus, please download the parking pass form, complete it, and have your student return it to us. Students are NOT allowed to ride with other students.
- AM Wave start time is 9:00.
- PM Wave start time is 12:30.
- Students should be in class prior to the start time.
As an Academy, we communicate in many ways to ensure we reach as wide an audience as possible. You can connect and follow us at:
- Website: https://www.fultonschools.org/collegecareeracademy
- Twitter: FSCCA (@fscc_academy)
- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Fulton-Schools-College-Career-Academy-110874877959779/
We also utilize the FCS School App to send out communications, as well as what the district sends out. This app allows you to have a one-stop place for all FCS messages, links to important FCS information, such as Here Comes the Bus, school closures, as well as ones from individual schools. This app is available for both iOS and Android.
Thank you for partnering with us and we are looking forward to another great week at CCA.
