Dear Asa G. Hilliard Elementary Families!
Thank you for your support and celebration of our leaders of the past, present, and future!
We look forward to continuing to exude excellence with our students, staff, and school community!
One of the many ways you can continue to offer your support is to get involved with the School Governance Council Meetings, Title I Parent and Community Workshops, Black History Month Celebration events, as well as offer your time, talent, and treasure, in our school's Stakeholders' Input Meeting!
Please preview the upcoming calendar of events for these virtual opportunities to share in the dedicated work of our students, staff, and community.
We look forward to growing in excellence at Asa G. Hilliard Elementary School!
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
~"We are One Team. One Goal. No Limits!"
Celebrate! by Kathleen M. Hollenbeck
Celebrate the heroes
who stood before a crowd
and spoke of peace and freedom-
equality, out loud.
Celebrate the valiant
who found the strength within
to stay where they weren't welcome
and force change to begin.
Celebrate the leaders,
who tired but never quit
and risked their lives for freedom,
for they believed in it.
Honor all the people,
together and alone,
who stood with dignity to claim
what was their right to own.
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.
