Summer School Letters
Today staff sent the first notification of enrollment to parents who should enroll their student for summer school based on grades. Homeroom teachers notified impacted parents via e-mail, and impacted students have a hard-copy letter with registration information as well as students' final 4.5-week progress report grades.

We're eager to celebrate our 8th graders and their victorious middle school journey. Upcoming celebrations include:

End of Grade Milestones Assessments Continue Monday
Georgia Milestones testing for Middle School continues May 2nd - 6th. It is crucial that your child is in class to take exams. The district expects all students in grades 3-8 and those in a high school end-of-year (EOC) course to participate. Thank you for partnering with the district to ensure a high rate of student participation.
iReady End-of-Year Diagnostics May 11 and 12
The two end-of-year iReady assessments are an opportunity for us to measure student growth for the year. We use iReady data for course placements, summer school considerations for students performing 2 years below grade level, and for our school's academic goals. For students whose end-of-year tests show expected growth, we're treating them to Kona Ice on May 16th. Thanks for helping us to support students in doing their best!
We Take Gently Used Uniforms!
If you're doing spring closet cleaning, our front office will gladly take your gently used RCMS logo t-shirts or plain polos as well as khaki pants and shorts. We need youth and adult sizes. We use these uniforms to help students who spill, rip their clothes, or don't have a uniform.
If Your Student Is Not Feeling Well
Always keep your student home if symptoms may be related to COVID-19 such as: Fever - Sore Throat - Congestion - Runny Nose - Chills - Cough. Parents must report to our Parent(Student) Reporting Portal and students must stay home until further notice if your student has tested positive for COVID-19.
Always send a hand-written or e-mailed attendance note when your child returns to school to our front office - pricem@fultonschools.org.
