End of the Year in the Media Center
Can you believe it's already time to start planning for the end of the school year? It seems like the excitement of the first day of school was just yesterday. All student library books are due back by Friday, May 11th. Notices will be sent home with students in Wednesday folders of books still checked out. So...please help your child to search for any missing library books. Any lost library books must be found and returned or paid to replace by the end of the year.
Read ebooks at Home
Do you know that your child can read library e-books from his/her computer at home (or from any mobile device)?
In your browser, navigate to https://fulton.mackinvia.com/ Then your child can log on with his/her username (lunch number) and birthday (mm/dd/yyyy). On the left-hand side of the screen, click on ebooks. Our school has almost 1,400 ebooks to choose from. Try some out today!!

End of the School Year Cafeteria Charge Policy
In an attempt to recover charges and keep the cost of student meals to a minimum, beginning Tuesday, May 1st, your child(ren) will not be allowed to charge meals against their account if they do not have sufficient funds available. If your child(ren) has charges, please make plans to pay these as soon as possible.
Students who have a negative balance on their accounts will need to bring money to pay these charges before a regular meal can be purchased. If these charges are not paid, a courtesy meal will be provided to the student(s).
I want to take this opportunity to thank you for allowing your child(ren) to participate in our School Breakfast and Lunch Programs. It has been a pleasure serving them.
