This annual event was created within FCS to celebrate the progress schools have made toward providing a quality education for our increasingly diverse student population.

Inclusive Schools Week provides an opportunity for educators, students, and parents to discuss and initiate practices to further ensure schools continue to improve their goal of successfully educating ALL children. This is a wonderful opportunity to involve ALL your teachers and students to REBUILD OUR INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY TOGETHER!

The Interact Club is sponsoring a toy drive this holiday season for North Fulton Charities.

Where: Front Rotunda

When: Monday, November 28th to Friday, December 9th

Time: 8:00 a.m. to 8:45 a.m.

Please donate new unwrapped toys or gift cards in denominations of $25 and put a smile on a child’s face this holiday season! North Fulton Charity will donate all new toys and gift cards to families from our community in need this holiday season.

Each student who donates will get to add their name to our Donators Poster, receive a candy cane, and be entered into our daily drawing to win 4 PBIS points and a small bag of candy. Happy Holidays to all!!!

If you have any questions please contact Sharon Flicker at flicker@fultonschools.org

Congratulations!

A big congratulations to our Spelling Bee Champion, Satyajeeth (Jeetu) S. as well as our first runner up, Charvi C.

They spelled for *16* rounds before “antigen” knocked Charvi out and gave Jeetu the chance to spell “Jamaica” to win it all!

Satyajeeth (Jeetu) S. will be moving on to district level.

His Autrey Mill Family wishes him good luck.

Dear Parents and Guardians,

As a reminder, No LUNCHES, desserts, baked goods (store bought/homemade), or any other edible items are not to be sold or distributed at school or on the bus unless approved in advance by school administration. Per our Student Code of Conduct, students who do not adhere to this expectation are subject to disciplinary action for violation 7A: Failure to Follow Rules and all candy or food items will be confiscated. Please discuss this expectation and possible consequences with your student(s) as this will be taken very seriously. This is due to recent national and state reports about students sharing edible items and synthetic medications with other students that contain very harmful substances.

Please know that taking this measure will help us maintain a safe environment for all students. You can help us protect your student(s) by requestion that they not eat anything given to them by another person, anything that they have not brought from your home or anything not in its original sealed package.

· No Sharing of lunches or bringing lunches for other students.

Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping all our students safe at school!

Parent's Responsibility When a Child is Absent

Parents should notify the school before or after the absence(s)
Notes should be directed to attendance owner at the school
Handwritten note or email
Notification from parents should happen no later than 5 days after absence

Middle and High School

Middle/High School messages begin going out around 4:30 p.m. on the day of the absence.
If your student is absent or misses one or more periods of the school day, they will be marked with an "A" (for absent) in our attendance system, and you will receive an automated phone call and email message to the designated contact info you provided in Infinite Campus. This includes excused absences that are approved in advance.
Errors can occur and if you feel you received a phone call by mistake, contact your school front office to verify that your student’s attendance record is accurate.
If your student's absence was unexpected, please remember to contact your child's school by sending in a note or email so the absence can be marked "excused" in the system.
