Please Plan to Join Us!
Fulton County Schools is considering the option of introducing K-8 STEAM Academies in some areas of the school system.
For those not as familiar, a K-8 school provides a nurturing learning environment for younger learners while challenging middle schoolers to develop
as leaders and role models .Our school is one of four school communities where this model is being considered. A final decision has not been made, and multiple options for these school facilities are under consideration.School district leaders are hosting several meetings this week and next week to provide information about the K-8 STEAM Academy model and to answer questions. They will also collect parent and community feedback to share with the Fulton County School Board.When: Wednesday , May 25th at 6:00 pm.
Where: Palmetto Elementary School
