Dear Asa G. Hilliard Elementary Families!
Hello February!
Honors, Salutations, & Legacies to Black History Month!
We have kicked off the month giving honor and respect to the history and namesake of our very own school, Dr. Asa G. Hilliard, III! Dr. Hilliard's wife and family has emboldened our students with the history, legacy, and honors of Dr. Hilliard's vision of promise for past, present, and future generations to come.
It has been with great pride and adoration to have a wonderful tribute to Dr. Hilliard in the front atrium of our school! Spending time with his family throughout the week has made our staff, students, visitors, and myself, filled with joy, as we have learned even more insights to his rich life and legacy.
Thank you for helping us embrace the history, lives, and legacies of Dr. Hilliard and many famous African-Americans of the past, present, and ensure better pathways for our students to aspire and achieve in the future.
Be well and stay safe, I will continue to keep you informed of any new developments for our school happenings and we look forward to a continuation of enthusiastic learning for all of our students.
Best,
Maureen Lilly

F2F 'or' Remote Learning Instruction News to Know
In effort to keep our students and staff healthy and safe, we want to share a few reminders:
Face 2 Face (F2F) Instruction or Remote Learning Instruction continues for our students. Please refer to our school and/or Fulton County Schools website for up-to-date information.
The Fulton County Board of Health and Fulton County Schools have developed an on-line portal for FCS parents/guardians to report student COVID-19 related cases. The portal has been updated for Spanish, Korean, and Chinese. FCS parent/guardians will find a dropdown at the top right for translations. www.fultonschools.org/ReportCOVID Please make a report to the FCBOH when your student is COVID-19 positive, has a pending COVID-19 test result, or has been in direct contact with a COVID-19 positive person. Also, please use this resource for official reporting rather than alerting the school and/or teacher. If you must engage the school/teacher, please do so after you have made an official report to the FCBOH. Lastly, to ensure the protection of our school community, please do not allow your child to attend school or school-sponsored events when he/she is ill and/or has any of the above COVID-19 concerns.
Bus Transportation
Please visit the FCS Transportation webpage often for updated Bus Stop Information pick-up and drop-off times.
