September Senior Treat

Our September Senior treat will take place on Friday, Sept 23rd at all three lunch periods and we will have the Kona Ice truck on campus. Don't miss it!

 


All Volunteers must read this!

EVEN IF YOU'VE BEEN VOLUNTEERING ON CAMPUS FOR YEARS!

 

If you completed the Volunteer Registration before June 2022, you are REQUIRED to complete an application again using the link below.

 

This may be an inconvenience, but it's necessary to ensure the safety of all our students and is required by Safety & Security for Fulton County Schools. 

 

It is MANDATORY before you are permitted to volunteer in the building or in a capacity where students will be present. This includes team meals, senior activities, set building, costume distribution, honor roll recognition, office volunteers, etc

 

So this means that the majority of us have to re-register.

 

Luckily the process takes less than 5 minutes! And will be active for two (2) years. 

Please click the link below to complete the process immediately.

Lastly, when signing into the Raptor system at school, volunteers must click the VOLUNTEER option, only. NOT visitor. 

 

Thank you for your understanding. 


Please make sure your senior has signed up and paid for the Senior Activities fee so they can take part in all the fun this year!  They will receive monthly treats, merch, etc!!
