Important Information
1. Pumpkin Projects!
Addition to the 3 AR reflections, this month your child should pick a FICTION chapter book for a pumpkin book report project. This project will be due on Friday, October 30th.Students will read a chapter book, write a book review persuading others to read their book, and complete a main character description page. Then they are to..... DECORATE A PUMPKIN to represent the main character (NO CARVING ALLOWED). Please help your child to find a good chapter book that would make a good pumpkin character. For more details, please refer to the pumpkin packet sent home. I have scanned an extra copy of the project assignment in the READING section on FSAconnect.

Home Visits
At FSAPS we do home visits. It is a wonderful opportunity for teachers and families to get to know one another. I enjoy home visits because it helps bridge the gap between home and school for your child. These are not mandatory, but if you are interested in having some of your child's teachers visit your home please continue to read...
How can you schedule a home visit?
Very simple. Please send an e-mail to our home visit coordinator, Mrs. Unal atjunal@fultonscienceacademy.org and give us three available dates for your child's home visit program. We will get back to you and confirm a date. Depending on our teacher’s availability, at least two teachers will be together to visit our students and parents at their homes.
For any questions you have about this program, send an e-mail tojunal@fultonscienceacademy.org. The best times to schedule a home visit are weekdays after 5:00 pm, and anytime during the weekends except Sunday mornings.
Tutoring
Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week®, the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. This year’s theme is
Respect Yourself. Be Drug Free.® We will be having activities during this week to remind, educate, and ecourage our students that being healthy and drug free will help them reach their goals. There will be contests and special clothing days for the kids to enjoy. We will also have the school decked out to show our support and commitment to the Red Ribbon Campaign. We will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week on October 26-30. More information is coming in October.
