NEW PROSPECT STUDENTS ARE
REACHING FOR THE STARS
All students at New Prospect ES will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in a 20-minute video conference with astronauts aboard the International Space Station on Monday, October 23rd. Twenty of our students will be selected to ask their questions directly to the crew on the International Space Station.
We want every student at NPES to consider submitting a question. [NASA will have the final say on which questions are selected.] Students need to come up with some good questions to submit. (A good question is one that cannot be "Googled".) Parents, you can help by reading with your children about "our" crew and then ask your children what questions they have for a particular astronaut. Ms. Searcy has created a special website for students to learn about the ISS and crew in order to generate good questions. https://talktotheiss.weebly.com Students can submit their questions on this site as well.

Fulton County Schools Enrollment Online
Online Enrollment Parent Guide
Online Student Enrollment
Fulton County Schools is making it easier for parents of new students to complete their child's registration for enrollment into a Fulton County School. Parents can access the easy-to-complete, online form here. This option allows parents to control the data supplied for their student's enrollment and provide for more timely processing of the enrollment request. Parents can upload copies of the required supporting documents in .pdf, jpeg, and .tif formats. A list of required documents can be found here. While this registration process will make it easier, parents will still need to bring their original to the school prior to the start of school. School personnel, must verify the authenticity of the documentation prior to enrollment being completed. View Flyer here
