A Closer View
In 7th grade science, students have been collaborating in animal and plant cell labs to collect observational data including characteristics, illustrations, and descriptions of the data. They’re also learning to better use high-powered microscopes!
Leading the Discussion
In 8th grade ELA, some of our students have practiced their initial socratic seminar of the year. In a socratic seminar, students use text evidence and a higher-order thinking question to discuss themes and central ideas from a text – they lead the discussion!

School-Family Compact & Parent/Family Engagement Plan
As a school-wide Title I program, it is our responsibility to jointly develop and share our School-Family Compact and our Parent & Family Engagement Plans. Parents, school staff, and students partnered together to jointly develop the School-Family Compact and school Parent and Family Engagement Plan (PFEP) through input collected from feedback forms, surveys, and input meetings held annually in the spring; however, feedback is taken through the school year. For more information, you may contact the school at 470-254-8589. These documents can be viewed below or in English and Spanish on our Title I page.
- School-Family Compact: Offers ways that we can work together to help students succeed. Compacts are being distributed now from homeroom teachers. We ask that each parent reads, signs, and returns the compact signature page. Click here for our compact.
- Parent & Family Engagement Plan: Outlines how we will provide opportunities to improve family engagement to support student learning. Click here for our engagement plan.
- FCS Parent & Family Engagement Plan: Outlines how the district will provide opportunities to improve family engagement. Click here for the FCS engagement plan.
These documents will be distributed in hard copy in the next few weeks. Please sign, date, and return the compact signature page by Oct. 31. Find our compact, engagement plan, translated documents and all Title I documents by visiting our Title I page.
