Parents of Seniors – Yearbook Needs Your Student’s Baby Picture

Please fill out this form for a chance for your senior's baby picture to be featured in the yearbook. The deadline is January 19th at 11:59 PM. Responses received after that time will not be considered. Also, please realize that we have allocated a specific amount of space in the book for the pictures which means we may not be able to include all the pictures based on how many we receive.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Beginning January 3, 2024, Fulton County Schools will be utilizing the CheckMate Sign-In system to welcome visitors and volunteers into our schools. This has replaced the Raptor system. Despite feedback from office staff, the Volunteer Registration system did not roll over into the new system. Unfortunately, all school volunteers will need to re-register to assist with team meals, senior treats, Wellness Wednesday, senior carnival, chaperones, etc. Any task that will allow you to interact with students will require you to re-register. We apologize for the inconvenience, but it is out of our hands. Please follow the link to access the FCS Volunteer Registration page.

Finally, all visitors must remember to bring in their driver's license each time they sign in. The license will be scanned each time. Thank you for being patient as we implement this new safety procedure.
