Spring has Sprung!

The week of March 13-17 was School Board Appreciation Week in Georgia to acknowledge the dedicated work of local school board members. Fulton County Schools celebrated in a big way! We appreciate all your hard work! We recognized School Board Appreciation Day on March 14 at the Board Work session.

Bridge To Success Program Survey

The district is asking all employees to support the administration of the FCS Bridge to Success Plan Six-Month Review Survey. The survey window opens Monday, March 14 and will close on Friday, March 31 for all stakeholders including parents, staff, and students. This survey is designed to get comprehensive feedback on our Bridge to Success plan to support our students and staff with the federal funds received through the CARES Act and the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.

The purpose of these federal funds is to help sustain the safe and effective operations of our schools and address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our students and staff. Your input is essential to the district’s process of addressing learning loss through evidence-based interventions and maintaining a safe learning environment for our students and staff. Thank you in advance for your valuable input on the Bridge to Success plan and budget for the CARES Act and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Act funds.

Substitute Spotlight: Celeste Davidson  

Celeste Davidson has been a substitute teacher for Fulton County since 2015 and is currently working at Taylor Road Middle School. She is always willing to support the school and fills in wherever she is needed.

She spends extra time meeting with teachers to evaluate the students’ needs so that she can provide a valuable learning experience. The staff at Taylor Road MS cannot imagine what they would do without her.

Ms. Davidson loves to travel and cook for her family and friends. She also spends time volunteering in her community. Her dream is to someday live in Spain to be near her family and to become fluent in Spanish.
