The Fulton County Schools (FCS) Communications Department’s mission is to provide services and support that deliver clear, transparent communication to all stakeholders.

The department strives to provide FCS families with accurate and timely information so they can help their children achieve academic success and graduate ready for further success in their chosen path. In addition, Communications works to provide internal business partners and teams with the information they need to focus on our strategic plan and district vision.

For press inquiries, please contact the Communications Department and review our Working Protocols Between FCS and the Media.

Freedom of Information Act/Open Records Requests should be sent to the district's Open Records Office. Please note that the Communications Department is not the original point of contact for Open Records Requests, but may become involved as news media seek comment or clarification about information they have received through the ORR process.

The Communications Department oversees district-wide internal and external communications, including district-level and school-level crisis communication; media relations; district newsletters for our staff and community; our public website - fultonschools.org - and employee portal; cable programming on FCS-TV; and all FCS social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram). The department also produces annual publications, assists with coordinating FCS events, and provides creative services to support schools, divisions or departments, such as graphic design, brand oversight, and video production.

If your school has an event, program, or initiative that parents and the community should know about, please contact communications@fultonschools.org.

When parents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, civic groups, or the faith community partners with the school system, a school or a classroom, your contributions of time, talent or financial support help FCS reach a goal that everyone in our community shares: Preparing students to succeed on their chosen paths. Please let us know if you’d like to partner or volunteer with FCS.
