Georgia Milestones Results for Grade 3 - 5
We anticipate receiving individual student results for the GA Milestones assessment in late July. We will get them ready to send home with the students in August upon our return. Once we have them ready for distribution, we will post a notification on our website. Those of you that would like to pick them up prior to the start of the school year may do so during our normal summer hours (7:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.). The parents of the students who may not have met state benchmarks have already been notified.

Shakerag Volunteer Registration
To keep in compliance with State Law and best practices, for the 2017-2018 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.
