Message from Dr. Spurka
I wanted to take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and peaceful spring break.  Our students have worked hard in the classroom and have shown great resilience this semester, through the stress of school and just being a teenager.  Things will be busy when we return with testing and gearing up for graduation, so it is important for all our students to get some rest over the break and get their minds off of school.  Coach Bennett shared this video with me, and I want you to watch it with your children. It has a great message about dealing with stress.  Stay safe, and we'll see you after the break!

Tech Tips for Students
Technology check
Effective immediately, all students will need to restart their Surface each day  as we begin to prepare for the April End of Course (EOC) tests.  The technology department will be sending required updates to all Fulton County devices daily, and failure to receive the updates may interfere with the optimal operation of your Surface.  

If you are currently experiencing problems with your device, you will need to report the issues to the Help Desk, located in the Student Center. 










Fulton County student email
It is critical for all students to check their Fulton County email every day. Daily ann ou ncements, called Cambridge Headlines, are pushed to students through their email accounts that provide  information on activities, resources, and deadlines. Also, the Cambridge Administration sends important information to all students; including information on security and safety.

To access Student Fulton County email from any device:
1. Open a web browser and go to  portal.office.com
2. Log into Office 365 using: 
                              Username: [email protected] 
                              Password: birthdate (mmddyyyy) or their unique password
3. Once logged into Office 365, select the Mail app to view important email from Cambridge Headlines, teachers and staff. 
4. The first time you access Office 365 Mail, you will need to select your time zone and save it.

Students should come to the Student Center to see Mrs. Morgan, Mrs. Macleod, or the Help Desk if you are having problems with your Surface or you cannot access your email account.
