October is National Energy Month, an appropriate time to congratulate 16 Fulton schools that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy.

 

Milton High School was the only high school in Georgia to receive the prestigious No Child Left Behind -- Blue Ribbon Schools distinction for 2008, the U.S. Department of Education announced in September.

 

Each month, Fulton County Schools' Office of Grant Development publishes a list of local and national grants that are available to educators.

 

To access a list of available grants as well as application procedures, click on the "Grants Alerts" or "Forms" link located at the bottom of the web page.
 

On Oct. 24 at the Cobb Galleria Centre, more than 1,000 employees, business partners and special guests will pay tribute to each school's Teacher of the Year and School Professional of the Year, as well as the system's Support Professionals of the Year.

 

The school system's annual Open Enrollment for benefits is Oct. 10 through Nov. 10. This is the time of year to make changes to your existing benefits plan or to enroll if you are not currently receiving FCSS coverage. Of particular interest this year are the changes to insurance providers and tiers of coverage.

Changes in personal contact information to be reported

  

Board policy GAK (revised in August 2008) mandates that all employees must notify the Human Resources Division in writing whenever they have a change in personal contact information. This includes mailing address, primary telephone number(s) and emergency contacts that are included in the employee's personnel record.
