WELCOME BACK!
We hope everyone had a relaxing SPRING BREAK and that you are coming back Monday morning refreshed and ready to go! As we hit the home stretch towards EOC's, AP Exams, Final Exams, Graduation and the end of the school year, we want to remind ALL students to finish this year on strong note! This means we continue to do our best in the classroom and in our extra-curricular activities. Welcome back EAGLES!
 MICROSOFT SURFACE UPDATE surface
In an effort to prepare for the spring testing season, we are asking that students update their school issued Surface tablets with needed software/security applications. Below are some simple instructions on how to accomplish this:
  1. Please restart the tablet while on a Wi-Fi network (Click the Windows icon, Click the "Power/Battery" icon, and tap "Restart")
  2. After restarting and logging back in with the students' Fulton County credentials, please click to start any needed updates. 
(Click the Windows icon, click the "Settings" option, click "Updates and Security" and click "Check for Updates" and/or "Start Downloads" of any needed/available updates)

DRC Insight is the testing app that is used to administer the End Of Course Assessments in a secure online environment. We will be administering EOC tests to students this spring via the Microsoft Surface, so it is vital that students have this app installed using the directions above.
If you need any assistance with this process, please see Mr. James (in 1240) or the Tech Eagle helpers at the Media Hub help desk.
STUDENTS - PLEASE CHECK YOUR FULTON SCHOOLS EMAIL ACCOUNT FOR REMINDERS.
(Students must access their FCS email account through Microsoft Outlook on their issued tablet.)

Attendance will be taken, and disciplinary actions will continue through the end of the school year. If students acquire unexcused absences, they may be referred to administration who will administer consequences. Consequences may include ISS, which will result in the loss of a student's exemption privilege. Any student absences need to be supported with documentation (either complete the  Parent Permission Google Form below, or students need to bring in a parent/doctor note.) 
AP TESTS & FINAL EXAMS
AP testing starts May 6, and we understand students MAY NOT be in class because they will be taking an AP exam. AP exam attendance will be taken daily and entered by the attendance clerk.  
If there is a conflict between an AP exam and a final exam, STUDENTS MUST REPORT TO THEIR SCHEDULED AP EXAM, and reschedule their final exam with their teacher.  
Make-up exams for seniors will be available 5/14, 5/15, 5/16, 5/17. We will have people available in the Media Hub for students to take make-up final exams.  Seniors will be notified, by their teacher, on  Friday, May 3  if they are able to exempt their final.  Senior exams will be taken during their normal class period - 55 minutes.
