If you have not already done so, you must submit your 11th-grade student's Vaccine Verifications (Immunization form 3231), stating your student has received one meningococcal conjugate vaccine booster, as required by the Georgia Department of Human Resources, by Friday, October 6. If you have questions, please email CAMHSimmunization@fultonschools.org.

If we do not receive this form, your child will be at risk of withdrawal from Cambridge High School. You may get this vaccine through your pediatrician, family physician, local urgent care center, or the North Fulton Department of Health. In addition, many local pharmacies and grocery store pharmacies offer this vaccine. The required documentation (Immunization Form 3231) may be emailed to CAMHSImmunization@fultonschools.org

The PSAT is completely digital this year. In order to take the test, students must have a Fulton County Schools-issued device. Students are not allowed to take the PSAT on a personal device. Please have your student check one out from the Media Center immediately if they need this device.

Cambridge will administer the PSAT 8/9 to all 9th and 10th-grade students and the PSAT/NMSQT to 11th-grade students on Thursday, October 12, 2023. 12th-grade students will not report to school on Thursday, October 12, and will participate in the asynchronous day.

• Students who do not request a temporary ID risk getting a detention for not having an ID while in the building.
• IDs should be worn on a lanyard around the student's neck to be visible at all times.

• For more information on the importance of students wearing IDs, please view the video at this link.

At Fulton County Schools, we prioritize student safety. Emergencies happen, and when they do, preparedness is the key to handling them well. We ask that all parents or guardians check their contact information in the Parent Portal and ensure that:

• At least one emergency contact (not a parent/guardian) is listed for each student in the Parent Portal.
• Ensure that we have a current phone number listed for the parents or guardians of their student(s) in the Parent Portal.

If an emergency were to happen, we need to be able to reach the parent/guardian effectively. In the event the parent/guardians are not accessible, the school must have an approved person to contact regarding your student.

Thank you for reviewing and updating your contact information and emergency contacts at your earliest convenience. For more information on how to perform these tasks:

How to update student information (emergency contact) in Parent Portal

How to update family information (phone number) in Parent Portal

For more information on the exploration of this waiver and to provide feedback.

All parents and students (over 10 years old) must sign this form found within your Infinite Campus Parent/Student Portal accounts.

We are always looking for ways to build culture at CHS, and this year, we want to more frequently recognize students and staff who epitomize Be the B.R.I.D.G.E. We would like to reward these students and staff for their continuous hard work through donated gift cards. So, we are asking if your family is able and willing to pitch in a small gift card between 5-20 dollars; we could really make a few students’ and teachers’ day. Have your student bring gift cards of small denominations to the Bridge East Front Office.

Starbucks, Target, Amazon, Publix, Dunkin Donuts, and local restaurants are all surefire ways to make someone’s day but feel free to clean out that kitchen catch-all drawer.

Thank you for raising great young adults, and thank you for supporting great teachers!
