FCCA Weekly Updates
Fulton College and Career Academy
Principal's Notes
Hello Parents and Students,
We hope you have had a wonderful long weekend and are ready for another exciting week at CCA. Although the students will not return until Thursday, we want to make sure you are aware of a few important dates.
1. End of the first trimester is Nov. 2, 2022. – What this means is the first course of your child’s pathway ends on Nov. 2. Because we are in an accelerated program, any student not in good standing on Nov. 2nd runs the risk of having to return to their home school in Dec. In order to complete the pathway and sit for the End of Pathway Assessment in April, student must pass each course.
a. Please check your child’s grade in Infinite Campus and discuss with them the importance of submitting assignments in a timely manner.
b. Reach out to your child’s teacher to discuss their progress in class. Their email addresses can be found here Staff Directory.
2. College and Career Days at CCA – Thursday and Friday, 10/13 & 10/14. We will have over 15 colleges, companies, and military personnel in the building. Please ensure your child comes to CCA dressed appropriately. Many of the companies will be hiring on the spot and the students will have an opportunity to speak directly with college and military recruiters. This is their opportunity to make a great first impression.
3. Upcoming Field Trips/Events – Please ensure that you have signed and returned your child’s permission slip and submitted payment via OSP if needed. OSP Link to Submit Online Payments
a. Fulton Connect Culinary Bootcamp – 26 of our Culinary Arts students were selected to participate in this exclusive Bootcamp. The sessions will be held on three consecutive Saturdays in October. (10/15, 10/22, and 10/28)

c. 10/20 Klondike GA Power field trip (Construction)

Please plan accordingly and ensure your student arrives at CCA on time for each of these events.
As always, THANK YOU for partnering with us! Your support is appreciated.
This Week's Happenings at FCCA
Woodland Middle School Sixth Graders Visit FCCA!
This was a phenomenal opportunity for the sixth graders and they were simply awed by the opportunities available at FCCA. During this experience, each pathway presented students with information about the pathway, careers in the industry, as well as a peek at some of the project-based learning that takes place in each pathway course.
It was a wonderful experience and FCCA looks forward to hosting other middle and high schools students.
Digital Media Students Visit SCAD Atlanta
Learning through experience is invaluable. FCCA students had the amazing opportunity to participate in a SCAD Atlanta field trip. During the trip, students were exposed to life at a number one art school. They gained an overview of the programs offered, as well as an orientation session with the admissions representative. They also learned of opportunities available to high school students.
Students toured the school and were exposed to a studio style education in which they absorbed the beautiful ascetics of student and faculty artwork that lined the workspace walls. They were free to explore the interior design lab and enjoyed perusing the catalogs and exploring drawers filled with fabric samples.
After the tour, students further engaged in the experience of being a SCAD student as they lunched in “The Hub”, the student cafeteria. They filled their plates and enjoyed discussing all that they learned during the tours. It was a great day for FCCA students!

Reminders.......
Student Expectations:
Dress Code expectations are that our students come to CCA prepared for opportunity to knock. That means our students are ready to collaborate with industry professionals on any given day. Please ensure your students are dressed appropriately. We expect all Academy students to model the tenants of PCCLI (Professionalism, Character, Collaboration, Leadership, Innovation) in their behavior and dress code.
Early Dismissal/Late Arrival:
- Students who arrive on campus after the start of the class must check in through the front office where they will be given a late pass to class.
- Any student who will be picked up from CCA prior to the end of the class must be checked out through the front office. A parent/guardian listed in Infinite Campus must come into the CCA and check their student out before the student will be released.
- Students should not request any type of rideshare (Uber/Lyft, etc.) to leave campus.
Transportation to and from CCA:
- To keep all students safe, it is imperative that our students enter the building as soon as they are dropped off.
- Students are not allowed to leave campus for any reason without being checked out in the front office by a parent/guardian. Any student who wishes to drive to the Academy must apply for a parking pass. Once approved, the student will be issued a parking pass that should be visible from the windshield of their car.
- If you and your student have not completed the parking pass application and you wish to have them drive to our campus, please download the parking pass form, complete it, and have your student return it to us. Students are NOT allowed to ride with other students.
- AM Wave start time is 9:00.
- PM Wave start time is 12:30.
- Students should be in class prior to the start time.
