Let’s Sing!

It's time to sign up for Chorus at Fulton Elementary! All fourth and fifth graders have the opportunity to learn and sing great songs and choral repertoire in an ensemble setting. The Fourth Grade Chorus rehearses during recess every Thursday with Mrs. Ormond and the Fifth Grade Chorus rehearses during recess every Thursday with Miss Kershner. Registration forms will be sent home with all fourth and fifth graders in their Friday folders this week. Rehearsals start on Thursday, September 28. We hope to see many of your fourth and fifth grade singers there!

Celebrating Who We Are Through Cultural Show & Tell

Building relationships, authentically knowing our students and where they are from or know what is important to them, helps us to better reach them. The Cultural Show & Tell is a way to ensure that our students feel connected to the school. One of the most wonderful aspects about Fulton Elementary School is our rich diversity. It is essential that every student feels that they belong at Fulton Elementary School and understands that their culture is valued. We want to celebrate each student in our school community!

Flu Vaccinations

Influenza, also known as the flu, is a serious illness that affects people of all ages. One of the best ways to prevent the flu is through vaccinations. We are pleased to again join with the Maryland Partnership for Prevention (MPP) to offer flu vaccinations at our school.

Volunteer Training

All volunteers must complete the HCPSS volunteer training before they may go on field trips or volunteer in the classrooms. There are 2 PowerPoint that must be viewed: Confidentiality and Child Abuse & Neglect. After viewing the training information, you must complete and sign the certificates. Printed copies should be sent to school. The link for the training is: www.hcpss.org/parents/volunteer-information/

Family File

Update Your Family File Information Before School Begins! HCPSS uses Family File for parents/guardians to complete emergency information. Parents/guardians must verify and/or update information for each child, and can do so by logging in to HCPSS Connect and selecting the Family File tab and then clicking on Family File.
