Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we approach the upcoming holidays, it important to remind parents and families that candy, 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 requesting 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.

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

The School Governance Council (SGC) is a governing body that is represented by parent representatives, community members, teachers, and school staff. The Council is responsible for making decisions regarding the strategic direction of the school.

This year, the SGC is responsible for allocating $46,390 in flexible spending to support the strategic plan for AMMS. During our September meeting, we approved the renewal of two technology subscriptions (Generation Genius and Flocabulary), an in-house science field trip for all 7th grade students, and funds for the PBIS program. The total of these purchases were $11,055.

As a component of Fulton’s commitment to safety within our schools, the Board and Dr. Looney have designated funding for school-specific security purchases. Each school has been allocated $25 per a student with schools earning a minimum of $15,000. SGCs must vote to approve all spending recommendations. Autrey Mill Middle School recently underwent a safety assessment and are awaiting their recommendations for improvements to the campus. Stay tuned for more updates!

FCS COVID 19 Reporting

Due to the ever-changing nature of this pandemic, the district will continue to monitor COVID data and recommendations, consult with public health officials, and make additional adjustments as necessary. If your child is sick, please keep them home. Families are still required to report a confirmed positive case of COVID-19, a pending COVID-19 test result (regardless of the reason for testing), and a direct contact with a person who is COVID-19 positive. FCS student/parents must use the Parent Reporting Portal to make the COVID-19 report.
