Project Based Learning at AES
All of our students have successfully
participated in their first Project Based Learning (PBL) unit at AES. Students investigated and responded to a
real life problem or challenge. Each
grade level created a different unit based on content standards with a focus on
math. Students shared their knowledge in
multiple ways, ranging from designing a blueprint for the perfect outdoor
classroom space to gathering evidence for a debate, such as, nature vs.
nurture. Click on the link below to
watch an overview of PBL.

To keep in compliance with State Law and best practices, for the 2016-2017 school year, we will require that all persons interested in volunteering in the Fulton County School District to re-register/register (even if a person has completed an application in the past) by completing the new online volunteer registration/application process. The registration process can be found on the FCS District Website under Community/Partners & Volunteers or Click Here. Applicants should be prepared to spend about 10-15 minutes for the training and application process. In accordance with State Law, all volunteers must be current with the Child Abuse Reporting Protocol Training before being allowed to volunteer in our schools. It is very important that volunteers enter their full legal name as it appears on their government issued ID (please do not use nicknames or “goes by” names on the application). All applicants must wait 24 hours after applying for application processing and approval.
