Elementary Career Day
Read Across America Day - Book Donation
Read Across America Day is Friday, March 2nd. To help prepare for this day, we would love to build our elementary classroom libraries with gently used books donated by our FSA families. If you have any books that are no longer needed in your home, please consider donating. We will take the books collected and distribute to all of the elementary classrooms. We are excited to get some new books in the hands of our students on Read Across America Day.
Donations will be accepted until February 23 rd and may be dropped off in Ms. Ivarie’s office, room 1202. Thank you!
Classroom Supplies Needed
6 Flags Read to Succeed
We are excited to share that the elementary students will participate in the Six Flags Read to Succeed Program again this school year!
If you are not familiar with this program, students need to read a minimum of 6 hours, log their time and get parent and teacher approval. Teachers then log student's time in their accounts and students are awarded a one day pass to Six Flags. Teachers that have at least 8 students participate, also get a ticket.
Students brought their reading logs home before the break!
The due date back to teachers is Feb. 23rd.
Help Us Stay Healthy!
It is that time of year again...
Help our class stay healthy by please keeping your child home to rest up and get healthy if they are sick! Please remember we have a 24 hour fever free school policy. Make sure your child has been without a fever (without medication) for 24 hours before they return to school. We will continue to wash our hands and clean our classroom to stay healthy!

Home Visit Program
Home visits are a casual way for your child to spend time with his/her teacher in the comfort of their home. Teachers enjoy having a chance to see children in this comfortable environment, doing whatever makes them most happy and spend time with children and their parents outside of a regular school day.
Simply email junal@fultonscienceacademy.org with some suggested dates/times, as well as your students' name(s) and homeroom assignments. Ms. Unal will be in touch to confirm final details.
Please note: the best times to schedule a home visit are weekdays after 5:00pm.
