Arrival/Dismissal Notes
1. Please remember that this is a tobacco-free campus, and smoking (even in vehicles) is
prohibited.
2. Please remember that due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are asking that you either remain in your vehicle to drop off/pick up, or wait in the grassy area for us to radio for your student.
3. Please remember that only adults on the "Ok to pick up" list that you registered with are allowed to come pick up your student. Please make sure to update with the office if you need to add names. And, please do not take offense if our staff does not recognize someone, and checks with the office to ensure students are going home with the correct adult.
4. If you need to make changes to your child's after-school plans, please make sure and notify the Bush office at 573-590-8400.
Thank you for your help in these areas.
Whether We Like It or Not, Winter Weather is on the Way!
School Closing Information
Winter weather will be here before we know it, and the Fulton Public Schools are preparing for the inevitable snow day. Officials consider many things when making decisions on inclement weather days; however, the final decision is always determined by what is best for the students. Student safety is the top priority of our school district.
Cancellation of School
As soon as the decision is made to cancel school, the district will launch the School Messenger phone messaging system to call the home or cell number you have provided the school upon enrollment of your child (if during the school day, an email and text message will be sent--not a phone call.) Please make sure this information is correct in our system. The district will also notify TV stations KOMU - channel 8, KRCG - channel 13, and KMIZ - channel 17. THE SCHOOL DISTRICT ASKS PARENTS OR GUARDIANS NOT TO CALL SCHOOLS OR TELEVISION STATIONS ABOUT THE CANCELLATION OF SCHOOL. The website address – www.fulton58.org - will be updated with early dismissal and cancellation notices as well as Facebook--Fulton Public Schools and Twitter-- @FPSHornets.
Early Dismissal
Occasionally, school will be dismissed early due to bad weather. If an early dismissal is required, an announcement will be made that school will be dismissed a specific number of hours early from the building’s normal dismissal time. School buses will run beginning at the dismissal time announced on those days school is canceled in midday.
Buses Running on Snow Routes
Snow routes will be updated in the next couple of weeks. Information will be sent home with all bus riders.
