Valentine’s day message As we approach Valentine’s Day, it is important to ensure that all homemade candy, desserts, baked goods, or other edible items are not to be sold or distributed during school hours, and that appropriate store bought items are delivered to the administration. Please know that taking this measure will help us maintain a safe environment for all students with allergies, etc. You can help us protect your student(s) by requesting that they not eat anything given to them by another person, anything that they have not brought from your home or anything not in its original sealed package. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping all of our students safe at school! SHOW SOME LOVE!

Covid Mitigation
Masks are optional in all FCS buildings. Students must still wear a mask while riding the bus (per
federal mandate).
Parents should report only positive cases to the Parent portal. FCS Health Services and FCBOH
will continue to case investigate and provide guidance to all positive student cases and any FCS
sibling(s) related to the case. Do not submit a report if you are waiting for a pending test result or
for an exposure/direct contact. Click here for more information on reporting guidelines.
When and why will parents receive a direct contact notification from the school?
If your child is in the same class or rides the same bus as another student/staff who has tested
positive, you will receive a direct contact notification.
If you receive more than one direct contact notification, this means that your child has had more
than one direct contact while at school. We send these notifications as soon as we are provided
the details by our DPH partners.
Rising 9th grade families
Holcomb Bridge 8th graders will be visiting Centennial High School on Thursday, February 17th. We
will depart school at 10:00 AM and return by 12:00 PM. Transportation will be provided by Fulton
County Schools Transportation. This trip kicks off the transition process and serves as a preview to
the electives and pathways students will choose for their high school schedules. We encourage all
students to attend. If your student is not planning on attending Centennial, they should still attend
as most high schools have similar programs and formats.
All 8th grade students will attend the transition trip. If you prefer for your student to not attend,
please contact Mrs. Kapella at Kapellak@fultonschools.org or 470-254-5280.
Laptop Care
Student devices (laptops) are school property and should be handled responsibly while in the care of
students. We have provided direct instruction for students about how to use their laptops responsibly
and are asking parents to reiterate our message of "handle with care". Students/parents must pay for
damage when it occurs to a school-issued device. This information is on our website and is being
shared here, along with the device agreement letter from FCS.
Laptop Care and Safety
Parents/students:
Students need to bring their laptops to school every day with their charger.
Laptop loaners (from the Learning Commons) will only be given for school-wide testing
days. (Not just a test in one of your classes).
Damaged/lost device replacements will not be given until fines are paid.
1. Damaged/cracked screen - $100
2. Lost device- $250
3. Lost charging cord - $30. This includes lost iPad chargers. All fines have been added to
Destiny.
Laptop Care Reminders - no food or drink near laptop, keep closed when not in use, keep
name on laptop and charger. If name sticker comes off, you can come to the media center
and we will replace. Laptop protective covers are a great way to prevent damage.
