Happy Labor Day

Absence excuses
Thank you!
Clinic medications
Please send in any necessary medications your student might need this school year. If your student needs an Inhaler, Epi-pen or Benadryl for Asthma, food allergies or insect bites, we especially want those in the clinic or carried by the student. All medications must have a Fulton County Schools Medication form filled out by a parent and signed by a doctor if it is for a prescription med. Also please remember to keep students home if they are not feeling well.

Morning Intramurals begin Sept 7
Morning Intramurals begin Tuesday, September 7. The Intramural Registration Form on the following link is all that is needed to participate https://school.fultonschools.org/ms/crabapple/Pages/Athletics.aspx. Please turn the form into Coach Thomas or Mr. Casey. A student cannot participate unless a signed form is on file.
Intramurals are each week Monday-Thursday in the gym. A variety of activities are offered each week. Students may arrive at 7:45 am. An intramural leader will let students in the building at that time. A student may attend as many days as they wish as long as they have turned in the Intramural Registration Form.
If you have any questions please contact Coach Thomas (ThomasJ4@fultonschools.org), or Mr. Casey (caseye@fultonschools.org).
CMS Media center volunteer sign up
The CMS Media Center really needs your help! Our wonderful new parapro, Jennifer Newman, is only part time and Mrs. Kowalske desperately needs a break for lunch every day! The greatest need for volunteers is during lunch, 12:00-12:45 and Monday and Friday are the preferred days. The 11-2 time slot listed is preferred, but if you can only come for part of the time, please make a note of it in the comments section. We would rather have you come for part of the time than not at all! Notes: the Covid check-in procedure adds a couple minutes to signing in, so please arrive accordingly. Also, if you have not registered as a volunteer, please visit the Fulton County Website and look for the Register as a Volunteer link under the Community tab. Thank you!
