The new year is arriving with COVID-19 continuing to be a challenge in our community. According to the December 30, 2021, Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) Epidemiology Report, there has been a dramatic increase in positive cases in Fulton County, with some municipalities reaching historic highs. Therefore, in consultation with the FCBOH, Fulton County Schools (FCS) will implement the following changes for the start of second semester.

• The district will begin with remote learning for all students on Tuesday, January 4, 2022, through Friday, January 7, 2022.

• Face-to-face instruction will return on Monday, January 10, 2022. Utilizing the Closing Matrix, schools with positive COVID-19 cases equal to or greater than one percent of the student/staff population will continue with remote learning until the number of cases decrease.
• Masks will be required in all FCS facilities January 10 through January 21, 2022.

Please remember COVID-19 is an ever-changing situation, one we cannot predict. We will continue to communicate changes as they occur. We implore our community do all they can to be safe. We strongly encourage people to get vaccinated. Please follow public health guidelines and report any positive COVID-19 cases to the Parent or Employee portals.

Title I is a federally funded program designed to ensure that all children have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high-quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic standards and state academic assessments. The Title I program focuses on the academic needs of the most disadvantaged students.

How to Help Students Transition Back to School from Winter Break

Playing Minecraft on a tablet. Soaking up cartoons on TV. Living in pajamas surrounded by a tsunami of new presents from Santa and grandma. Vegging out on the couch with holiday food in tow. These are just a few of the ways that kids let go during winter break. Unfortunately, this can make it difficult for them to return to the reality of the classroom and get back into the habit of doing homework after school.

Help Students Learn How to Learn

It is easy to assume that our students already know how to learn, because they have been in school for so long. But attending school does not necessarily translate into being effective, self-directed learners.
