Dear Asa G. Hilliard Elementary Families!
Welcome back to the second-half of the school year!
I sincerely wish you a healthy, happy new year!
We are living in a precarious time in history and it is incumbent of us to make the best possible supportive atmosphere for our school community, students, staff, and optimal learning environments.
The poem below, entitled Unity, speaks to the important role we each have in creating a better tomorrow. I am grateful for our all of you. I know together we are shaping the future by pouring into our most precious resource- our children.
I want to encourage you to focus on continued compassion, safety, and unity for your children, family, friends, and community.
Next week all students will remain in remote learning for all students and teachers. I will 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
~"We are One Team. One Goal. No Limits!"
Unity
I dreamt I stood in a studio,
And watched two sculptors there.
The clay they used was a young child’s mind,
And they fashioned it with care.
One was a teacher—the tools she used,
Were books, music, and art.
The other, a parent—working with a guiding hand,
And a gentle loving heart.
Day after day, the teacher toiled
With a touch that was deft and sure.
While the parent labored by her side,
And polished and smoothed it o’er.
And when at last, their task was done,
They were proud of what they had wrought.
For the things they had molded into the child,
Could neither be sold nor bought.
And each agreed they would have failed
If each had worked alone,
For behind the teacher stood the school,
And behind the parent, the home.

Remote Learning Instruction: Week of January 11-15, 2021
In effort to keep our students and staff healthy and safe, we want to share a few reminders:
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. 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. Please reference the attached flyer and consider posting it in a visible location for easy access.
Bus Transportation
Please visit the FCS Transportation webpage often for updated Bus Stop Information pick-up and drop-off times.
Our Character Word of the Month: ENTHUSIASM
A positive attitude and a strong feeling of excitement towards student activities, school, and community.
Let’s encourage our students to find something they are enthusiastic about with school, and hone in on their strengths and creativity, and soar in 2021!
