to see them. Help us get as many photos as possible to create a terrific

book everyone will want to have. Here is how to submit photos online:

• Log on to: replayit.com

• Follow the instructions after entering your personal information

• Once you have your log in information, you can click “Add a

mer sports, vacation, camps, and just having some summer fun at home

Lost and Found

All items in the lost and found will be donated to charity on Thursday,

please have them check the lost and found by the clinic for their item.

Thank You!

providing pencils for the 8th grade ITBS testing last week.

Jr. Beta Induction

Congratulations to all new Jr. Beta members who were inducted at a

ceremony on November 1st.

Planning to travel? Check this first: If you are planning to travel during the school year, please review your

child‟s attendance record first. Fulton County Schools‟ attendance policy

can be found online and in your child‟s agenda. Fulton County School‟s

attendance policy clearly outlines the accepted excuses for absences and

what a parent may do if he/she anticipates an absence that is not

listed. Please note that in order to have any planned absence excused, a

letter from the parent must be submitted to the principal PRIOR to the

planned absence. The principal may or may not approve the absence. As

well, if your child has missed 10 or more total days of school this year,

you may be asked to provide medical notes for additional absences to be

considered excused (in accordance with Fulton County‟s attendance pol-

icy). Please reconsider scheduling your family travel/vacation time to

coincide with school breaks and avoid missed class time whenever possi-

ble. Thank you for your assistance in keeping your student in class for

instruction.

who is interested in participating in the history bee, please email Ms. Hart-
