Dear Parents,
Please find below a few resources to help keep your child academically engaged over the summer months. Upon scrolling down this webpage, you will find A Parent’s Guide to Student Success for the grade your child is entering, a resource provided by the county, as well as a list of instructional and educational resources you can access for free or through our school accounts this summer.
The Tech Support Hotline will be available Monday- Friday from 7:30 to 3:30pm throughout the summer. The number to reach them is 470-254-2300. They will be able to answer all your technology questions for all county programs that run through Classlink.
I hope these resources are helpful in providing educational support to your child during the summer months. Most importantly I hope you have a wonderful, safe, and healthy summer! I look forward to seeing you all back in August!
Sincerely,
Michaela Ferretti

A Note From our counselor, Ms. Aronowitz
The last few years have been unusually difficult, and some students may have experienced social/emotional setbacks as a result of the pandemic. Please find below some social/emotional learning resources that families will have access to over the summer. In addition, Fulton County Schools and Rethink Ed have partnered to provide our families access to our online Student Success Skills (SSS) program. FCS’s SSS program provides videos and activities for both adults and children to support students social and emotional wellbeing. Families will have access to strategies and tools that will help parents/caregivers and students recognize and manage emotions, build stronger relationships, and develop skills to lead happier and healthier lives. Instructions for how to access Rethink Ed are attached.
In addition, below are a couple of additional resources that you may find helpful.
