At Fulton County Schools, we truly value the feedback from our parents about their experiences with the district. That is why I encourage all parents to take the Annual Parent Perception Survey. This survey allows parents the opportunity to tell us what they think about their student’s schools and the district. While we always make it a priority to listen to our parents, this survey affords us another opportunity to receive your thoughts and opinions.

The survey is anonymous and confidential. Please complete one survey per school where you have one or more students enrolled. The survey will remain open from Monday, February 12 through Friday, March 15.

It’s not only parents we want to hear from. Our students’ opinions are important too! Students in grades 3-12 will be provided with the opportunity to take the Annual Student Perception Survey between February 12 and March 15 during the school day. In our ongoing efforts to remain transparent with parents, please take a moment to review the 6-12 Student Survey.

The Annual Perception Survey is currently available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, and Punjabi. If you or your family would like to take it in a language that is not listed, please email me at jonesbc@fultonschools.org.

The parent FAQ is now available in:

o  English FAQ

o  Spanish FAQ

o  Chinese (Simplified) FAQ

o  Korean FAQ

o  Hindi FAQ

o  Punjabi FAQ

On Wednesday, March 13, we will be offering the ACT to JUNIORS who previously registered to take the exam in December and January. 

Students who are not taking the ACT will have an asynchronous day of learning from home. Students should complete the assignments provided by their teachers on the day from home. 

Previously registered Juniors who are taking the ACT should report to Milton High School by 8:00 AM on March 13 and proceed to their assigned testing locations. More information regarding testing locations and additional instructions will be sent to the student’s FCSTU (school) email prior to the testing date. On Monday, February 5th, a confirmation email that includes pre-assessment activities was sent to both the parent and the student emails provided during the registration process. Please check your email for this information.

The anticipated testing time for the ACT on March 13 will be from 8:20 AM until 12:30 PM. Students approved for extended time through ACT will likely complete testing around 2:30 PM. Students are allowed to bring a snack. The snack can only be eaten during the scheduled break times during testing.

Fulton County transportation will run on a normal schedule on March 13 for those JUNIORS who need to use it. Students without personal transportation will go to the cafeteria after the conclusion of testing and can work on their schoolwork until 3:30 PM when they will be released to the busses. 

We welcome VOLUNTEERS to help with Senior Snacks. Please let us know if you can join us! Volunteer Here.
