The FAST Flyer

End of year exams are scheduled to begin April 24.

It is extremely important for students to be at school on time each day during exams to limit disruptions in the building. We ask that you avoid scheduling appointments during this window to the extent possible. Students who arrive after exams begin will be required to wait in the front office until the test session is concluded. Once testing has begun, students may not be released until the test session is concluded.

Parents can find answers to frequently asked questions in THIS DOCUMENT. A full schedule of exams can be found HERE

Thank you to all of the parents and guests who came to visit and volunteer for the 2nd Annual Innovation Showcase! The weather was perfect and the students had a great time. We sincerely hope that you enjoyed the day and were impressed by all of the things our students demonstrated as a result of their work throughout the year.

A big shout out to the innovation team for organizing the events of the day! Here are just a few photos, but you can check out our Facebook page for many more.

The Governing Board of Fulton Academy of Science & Technology is seeking new members. If you are interested in having a voice in the future of FAST, this could be for you. The Governing Board is comprised of parents, professionals, and community members who collectively work to support the mission of the school. For more information about this opportunity, please contact Scott Boze at scott.boze@fastk8.org

FAST will be offering summer school again this year for students who may benefit from a few more weeks of instruction. Classes will be 8am-12pm on 6/12-6/15, 6/20-6/22, and 6/26-6/29. More information will be available in the coming weeks.

We are busy planning for our end of year activities and celebrations. One of the biggest events for our students is their 8th grade graduation. For our 8th grade parents, we ask that you please let us know asap how many tickets you are requesting for graduation by completing the form we sent to you on Wednesday, 4/12.

Please encourage your students to check the lost and found for any items they are missing. Our racks are full of jackets, hoodies, and sweaters. Items not claimed will be donated.

Most of our families have already responded to this survey, but if you have not yet we ask you to let us know ASAP whether or not you plan to return to FAST next year. As we offer seats to students on the waitlist, we want to be sure that we keep enough room for all of our returning students. We would love for all of our families to return, but understand that there are myriad of reasons why you may not. If you have any specific concerns that you would like to discuss, please reach out to us.

In an effort to streamline communications and ensure attendance records are being updated timely, we have created a new email for all attendance related correspondence. Going forward, please use attendance@fastk8.org for attendance related emails. If your student is going to be absent, you may email their homeroom teacher as well.

The PTO Board wants to take some time to THANK all of the parents who have helped this year! We are also looking forward to getting to know those who have stepped up to serve on the PTO Board for next year. Please join us for a casual coffee chat and learn more about how important the PTO is for our school!
