Dear Students, Faculty, and Parents,
With just over 4 weeks left of school, we have a lot happening here at FSA!
Last week was a busy one for our Middle School Tennis Teams as they won the State Championship in the GICAA Middle School Tennis Tournament in Rome, GA! After winning the golf championship, and a championship in track last week, this is our third state championship in athletics this year! Way to go to our amazing athletes and our amazing coaches and Athletic Director!
Spring MAP Testing began today and will continue through the rest of this week and into next week. You can see the full testing schedule below! Make sure your student gets plenty of rest the night before their exam and come to school having had a substantial breakfast!
Our 5th through 7th grade students will be heading to Washington DC this Friday for another awesome end of year trip! Students will have the chance to visit many iconic places like the Washington Monument, Smithsonian Museum, National Harbor, United States Capitol, and the White House just to name a few! Make sure to read further below about our most recent trip to San Francisco.

Counseling Corner
Elementary Counseling Corner
middle & High School counseling corner
This past weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to visit UC Berkeley and Stanford University in California. One of the greatest things about visiting those sites was realizing how amazing the campuses are. I hear the names of those colleges over and over again, but now I have a new respect for those institutions. Honestly, it makes me wish I tried harder in high school! These nicer universities open up a world of opportunity with their resources. Think about it: the best of the best are here- students, teachers, programs, etc. It makes it all that more competitive, but also exciting. Here’s one way to think about it- imagine trying to build a house. If you don’t have all the tools, the process is harder and you might have to compromise of how grand the house is. If you have all the tools, it makes the building process easier and your final product will be even more refined. Going to a highly ranked school is important for reasons beyond just the name and reputation. WHY is it so prestigious? What do they offer? Visiting different colleges may give you something to strive for. When I was younger, I didn’t understand the point of visiting colleges. Aren’t they all pretty similar? NOPE. In the Professionalism Workshop, I talked about things to consider with the college exploration process. To summarize, here’s the items I covered: Type of institution (public, private, vocational), School Size, Location & Housing options, Majors, Learning Environment, Extracurriculars, Academic Credit (AP, IB), Tuition and Scholarship options, Support options, Diversity, Career Planning (internships, co-ops, career fairs), Ranking- one of the biggest factors, and School Climate. There’s so many things to consider when picking a college. This decision should be made with a lot of care and consideration. Afterall, college is just the next step, not the final step. Assuming you’re not planning to transfer, the college you pick is the next 4 years of your life. Start planning NOW.

FSA Academic Bowl Team Advances to Nationals
On April 20, 2019 seventh grade students Weston B., Noah D., Richard K., Sanjana K., and Peter S. competed in the 2019 Georgia Academic Bee and Bowl against 36 teams at RIver Trail Middle School in Johns Creek. None of these students had ever entered an Academic Bowl nor practiced together as a team; They entered this competition with a major disadvantage, but exited victorious!
This win qualifies the team to compete at the 2019 US Academic Bowl and US History Bowl this summer in Chicago. Weston B. also competed individually in the Academic Bee and will advance to compete at Nationals in this event as well.
Richard K. commented about the anticipated national competition, "Am I ready now? NO! Shall I be ready in June? Yes!"
Sanjana K. stated, "It was a fantastic experience and I would love to do it again."
These students would like to thank their teachers and coaches from various teams such as Science Olympiad, Math, Robotics and History. Their success was a culmination of the background knowledge learned not only in the classroom at FSA, but also from the various after school academic opportunities which equipped these students with the skills to win.

Elementary School MATH LEAGUE CONTEST – sign up required using link (Last Day to Sign Up is April 23)
Dear parents of 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students,
Please fill out this form if you would like your child to participate in 2019 Math League Contest for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students that will be held at FSA Campus on Friday May 3rd at 4:30 pm. It will last around an hour.
These are some of the first math contests many students will compete in--and the most fun with math they've ever had! All of the questions cover basic 4th and 5th grade topics, including: properties of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, time and calendar questions, shapes, perimeter, money, basic ratio and percent, rounding numbers, remainders, integers, and more. These contests challenge students to show their understanding of basic principles through numerical and word problems that encourage an open, flexible approach to problem solving. These contests are provided for intraschool competition, and come with certificates of merit for your school's high scoring students.
CONTEST FORMAT: Each contest consists of 30 multiple-choice questions that you can do in 30 minutes. On each 3-page contest, the questions on the 1st page are generally straightforward, those on the 2nd page are moderate in difficulty, and those on the 3rd page are more difficult. The 4th and 5th grade contests are for use in each school or district. Since results are not used for interschool comparisons, they do not enclose a score report form.
***Please note that some exceptional 3rd grade students may register and they will be taking 4th grade contest.

IMMUNIZATIONS REQUIREMENTS FOR INCOMMING 7TH GRADERS & KINDERGARTEN:
A Message From Nurse Amy
This is to remind you of the importance of getting your son or daughter vaccinated before they go back to school this fall. Vaccines are the best way you can protect your child from a number of serious diseases, including meningococcal disease, and cancers caused by HPV, and whooping cough.
As you are making your back-to-school checklist for your preteen, I encourage you to make sure your sons and daughters get all the vaccines that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends for them at ages 11 and 12. Schedule an appointment today for your child to receive all of the vaccines they need for the best protection. CDC, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), and the National Association for School Nurses all agree that your preteen needs the following vaccines:
Meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY) protects against some of the bacteria that cause meningococcal disease and meningitis. While not very common, these are very serious illnesses and death can occur in as little as 48 hours. Your child will need a booster shot at age 16 to continue providing protection into the late teens/early 20’s.
HPV vaccine protects against the infections that can cause HPV cancer. HPV infection is very common and causes more than 31,000 cases of cancer each year in the Unites States; that’s one case of cancer diagnosed every 17 minutes. Both boys and girls should complete the HPV vaccine series before age 13. Preteens need two doses of HPV vaccine, given six to twelve months apart. If you wait, your child may need three doses over six months.
One dose of Tdap vaccine as a booster is for continued protection against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (whooping cough). This vaccine keeps preteens healthy and prevents spread of pertussis to babies who are too young to be protected by vaccination.
Preteens and teens should also get the flu vaccine every year, ideally by the end of October if possible.
The State of Georgia requires the Meningococcal (MCV4), and a Tdap (booster) vaccines be done for school entry; to learn more about state immunization requirements, go to: www.immunize.org/laws.
To learn more about adolescent vaccines, please visit CDC’s website for parents about vaccines for children at www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents, or you can visit www.middleschoolhealth.org for the Middle School Health Starts Here website.
FSA sports banquet coming soon

This event is open to all FSA athletes and family members. An invitation with details on the cost, dress code and other aspects of the event will be coming soon. But mark your calendars for May18th from 5 to 8 pm. LAst year in its debut close to 40 athletes were honored. This year there will be close to 100. Including some champions in our midst.
FSA High School Students are collecting Donations for "Hunger has no Religion"
With April being national month for volunteering two FSA students Ashi Jain and Serene Haque have embarked on a service project to assist where they can. There is a large amount of people who are affected by homelessness. As this number rises daily there is a scarcity of resources.
Following a presentation to high school in the professional speaker series, two 9th graders decided to lend a hand. They have started a hygiene product drive here at FSA for Hunger Has No Religion, an organization dedicated to fight homelessness in Atlanta. The main purpose of the organisation is to provide homeless people with hygiene care packages to them. Donny Edwards, the founder if Hunger Has No Religion, visited our school recently and enlightened us about the gravity of homelessness and why we should all come together to help. We need your help to collect items such as soap, toilet paper, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and deodorant. Each item collected goes a long way to provide essential and basic hygiene to one who does not have access to this vital necessity. Please donate to this worthy cause as there is no greater satisfaction or overwhelming feeling as the feeling of pleasure and earnest gratitude that is expressed by the people that need us.

Home Visits; A Great Activity for Your Student, No Matter Their Grade Level!
Here is some feedback from our parents:
- “Early in the school year, a group of teachers took the time to come to our home to meet us and discuss the school program with us. That event brought us back to the time in which schooling was a true partnership between parent and teacher and reaffirmed in our minds that FSA truly cares about the development of our children”
- “We even had two teachers visit us at our home. They were a pleasure to meet and we could clearly see how much they enjoy teaching students.”
- “Thank you very much for your visit and the chocolates yesterday. We enjoyed having you over very much. I also want to thank you for turning math from the most complicated and somewhat scary subject into one of our most favorites.”
- “We all enjoyed your visit last night to our home. It was such a pleasure to informally get to know both of you. My son thought it was really cool that two teachers came to his house. He talked about it the whole way to school this morning in carpool. Personally, I admire the dedication you both have for your jobs. It makes a big difference in a student’s attitude toward school. Your visit left no doubt in my mind that FSA was the right decision for my son.”
- “I just wanted to write on behalf of my husband and I and thank you for visiting our child. He loved having you both come and visit. We appreciate the level of caring and attention that you have consistently shown our family. It is rare to see such a dedication from teachers for their jobs. We can tell that you love teaching and you care for our children. Thank you for visiting our child when he was not feeling well.”
How can I schedule a home visit?
Very simple.
To schedule an elementary school home visit: Simply email junal@fultonscienceacademy.org with some suggested dates/times, as well as your students' name(s) and homeroom assignments. Ms. Unal will be in touch to confirm final details.

The school must receive an ‘Authorization to Administer Medication Form’ signed by the student’s physician and/or parent/guardian.
The following information must be printed clearly on the medication container:
-
Student’s Name
-
Name of the medication
-
Dosage
-
Time the medication must be taken.
Bring in only the amount of medication that is needed for a school day. In the case of prolonged need, send in the amount for a clearly specified period. Written authorization to dispense medications shall be limited to two weeks unless otherwise prescribed by a physician. Medication shall only be dispensed out of its original container, which must be labeled with the child’s name. Extra medication will not be sent home with a student. All medication will be kept in a secure location in the clinic and/or front office.
Parents, please remind your students that if they are feeling unwell that they need to first visit the clinic and be assessed by our school nurse, who will then call you in the event that the student should go home. Students should not use their phones during the school day to contact parents.
FAQ:
- Does the school provide medications?
No. The school does not provide medication. The student's parent or guardian must bring the student's medicine to the front office or school clinic, along with an "Authorization to Give Medication" Form.
- May the parent/guardian bring and give medications to their student?
Yes, a parent/guardian may come to school and give their child medication. Parents should still follow the visitor sign in procedures.
- Where can I find Authorization Forms?
Authorization forms can be found at the front desk or school clinic.
- Why do I need a doctor's health care provider's note for adult strength over-the-counter medication when my health care provider has told me it is appropriate for my student's weight (or condition)?
The school nurse wants to protect your child and must follow guidelines for dosage recommended by the manufacturer.
- How do students get their medications during after school hours?
The principal, along with administration and the school nurse will determine by whom and how medication will be secured and administered during after school hours.
- Why do medications have to be in the original container?
The original container provides information from the manufacturer about over-the-counter medications, including the name of the medication, the proper dose, how the medication should be given, how often the medication should be given, possible side effects, and when the medication is no longer effective (an expiration date.)
The original prescription container includes the name of the medication, the patient's name, the prescribing licensed health care provider, the proper dose, how and when it should be given, when the medication expires, and the pharmacy where the medication was purchased. All of this information is necessary for the school nurse to administer medication in a safe manner.
- What if my child's medication or dosage changes?
Parents/Guardians must inform the school nurse of any medication changes. New medication or different doses will not be given unless the parent completes a new medication form. The information on the prescription bottle label must match the new consent form.
- Can my child take herbal medication at school?
No. Over-the-counter diet pills, vitamins, dietary supplements, including minerals or herbs will not be given.
- May my child carry cough drops at school?
No. Cough-drops must be left in the clinic along with a completed "Authorization to Give Medication at School" Form.
- May my child carry over the counter medication at school?
No. It must be left in the clinic along with and "Authorization to Give Medication at School" Form.
- Can my child carry his/her Epipen, Insulin, or Asthma Inhaler at school?
Yes, students may carry inhalers and Epipens or insulin with a completed "Authorization to Carry Prescription Medication" Form. You can get this form from the school nurse.
- Why is there a place for the health care provider to sign the authorization form for my child to carry their inhaler/epipen at school?
The health care provider's signature indicates that your child has been instructed on the proper use of their inhaler/Epipen and that your child is responsible for administering it to himself/herself without supervision.
- Why do I have to have a prescription label on the inhaler/Epipen?
The prescription on the inhaler/epipen includes the child's name, how often it is to be used, and what dose is appropriate for your child. It is difficult to keep the label directly on the inhaler/epipen.
- If I give my child Tylenol for a fever, can I still send them to school?
If the fever is more than 100.9 degrees F before you give them Tylenol, then your child cannot come to school. Your child may return to school when his/her temperature is below 101 degrees F without Tylenol or any other fever reducing medication for 24 hours, if s/he feels well and is not showing signs of illness.
- If I give my child Tylenol for aches and pains can I still send them to school?
You child is welcome at school while taking Tylenol or any other over-the-counter medication for an injury, dental work, etc. However, if the medication is for a sore throat, earache or flu like symptoms, please keep them at home.
- Why can't I put medicine in my child's lunch box if he/she has to take medicine at lunch?
Medication in a lunch box could be lost or taken by another child. If a staff member found the medication it could be considered an illegal drug with consequences according to the Code of Conduct. Medications must be brought to the front office or school clinic by parents/guardians in the original and properly labeled container.
- If I treat my child for lice can I send them back to school the same day?
- Why do I have to bring in a box top to verify lice treatment?
- How much time do I have to get to the school if the nurse calls me to pick up my child because he/she is sick?
- How long will my child's over-the-counter medication be given at school?
- What happens to my child's medication at the end of the school year?
- May my child share over-the-counter medication with another student?
- Why should my child take the first dose of new medication at home?
aftercare hours reminder
Parents, please be reminded that After - School Care is provided every day from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm for a fee of $15.00 per day or $200.00 for the month. We ask that parents pick up any remaining students by 6:00 pm, and no later, as the school closes at 6:00pm. Sometimes our Academic Teams will stay later, but these students are not considered to be in After-Care. There are also sometimes outside organizations that use our facility for sports events, so it may look like there are still plenty of people here, but these more often than not, do not include aftercare students. Thank you for your understanding.
