Partner with FCS
You Can Make a Difference
Thank you for your interest in making a difference for the students and schools in Fulton County through community partnerships!
When you partner with a school or the school district, 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. We seek parents, businesses, nonprofit organizations, civic groups, and faith community partners to enrich our students' lives.
Partners & Volunteers
Fulton County Schools values and promotes active engagement of the community in all of our schools. Thousands of individuals serve as volunteers in our schools each year. Volunteer opportunities may include:
- Serving as tutors, mentors, or guest speakers
- Providing assistance in classrooms, cafeteria, media center, or main office
- Organizing student enrichment and recognition activities
- Supporting special events, athletics, and school governance councils
Partnerships are created through mutual beneficial agreements with the school directly or district department and the community organization or business entity. The Annual Partnership Agreement is a starting point for partnership activities to document all school partners.

ThoughtExchange: Engaging in Two-Way Conversation
In today’s world, school districts have many ways to communicate with families, but one of the most valuable communication tools is engaging with and receiving feedback from those our schools serve.
Fulton County Schools has partnered with ThoughtExchange to gather feedback from students, families, staff, and community members. ThoughtExchange is a special and unique two-way process to bring people together on important topics, which replaces the methods used in traditional surveys with a naturally collaborative platform. It can turn everyday challenges into opportunities for engagement and growth. ThoughtExchange will allow participants to share their thoughts and ideas about specific programs and initiatives, and/or gather other feedback about our schools and district. ThoughtExchange is a discussion management platform used and trusted by some of the world's most advanced organizations (including other K-12 school districts, higher education, and corporations).
With ThoughtExchange, participants share thoughts confidentially and anonymously, ensuring that all voices are heard and all divergent views can come to light around a shared topic of interest or concern. ThoughtExchange encourages engagement as people respond anonymously with other participants.
