What happens when a gummy soaks in different types of liquids?
Lunch Thermos
If your child needs their lunch heated, I suggest buying a thermos to keep their lunch warm! Many parents send their child with lunches that need to be heated, and microwaves are limited. We only have lunch for 30 minutes and only 1 microwave for all 52 third graders. A thermos that keeps their food warm will ensure that your child has enough time to eat their lunch. Here is a link to get you started!
How Can You Schedule a Home Visit?
This process is very simple. Please send an e-mail to our home visit coordinator, Mrs. Unal, at junal@fultonscienceacademy.org. In that email, please provide three available dates for your child's home visit. We will get back to you to confirm a date. At least two teachers will be together for home visits; specific names/subjects will be dependent upon teacher availability.
For any questions you have about this program, please send an e-mail to junal@fultonscienceacademy.org.
Please note: the best times to schedule a home visit are weekdays after 5:00pm
