Submitting Activities for Points
Your Fulton ID NAME is what comes before @fultonschools.org in your e-mail address. This is how the points get automatically tabulated. Many of the issues submitted to us that need to be corrected are because the ID was listed as your number, or you didn't spell your name correctly.
Please help us out by taking a second to double check that part of your submission.

Microsoft Teams BADGE
Microsoft Teams is an entirely new experience that brings together people, conversations and content—along with the tools that teams need—so they can easily collaborate to achieve more. Throughout the school year, we will be using Microsoft Teams to communicate, share resources, answer questions, brainstorm, and distribute information to fellow Vanguardians. We strongly encourage you to get familiar with Teams and earn a badge!
