Fitnessgram Testing
The Fitnessgram Testing window is now open. Fitnessgram is a state mandated physical fitness assessment that includes push-ups, curl-ups, flexibility, Pacer (jogging) for grades 4-5 and height/weight for grades 1-5. These activities have NO impact on PE grades. If you have any questions or wish to opt-out there is a form you can request. Please email Dr. G at whelchelg@fultonschools.org.
Lost and Found-Items to be donated February 17
As the weather has gone from hot to cold and back again, a number of coats, jackets and hoodies are lost, found, and unclaimed. Please place names in your child’s clothing so that we may promptly return lost articles to him/her. A Lost and Found rack is in the atrium by the cafeteria.
Our custodial staff picks up items left on the playground and around school. We hang them up on our lost and found racks and students can come by to look at the items to see if they can find anything they have misplaced. Any items that remain after 2/17/2023 will be donated.
Lost & Found Rack: Coats, Sweaters, Hats, Water Bottles, Books
Lost & Found in the Office: Glasses, jewelry, wallets, purses, small personal items
