Dear Fulton Middle and High School Families,

January was a month of growth and achievement, with students continuing to excel academically and personally. Our focus on improving math scores is yielding positive results as teachers implement our new curriculums. Additionally, we’ve seen great progress in our efforts to foster a positive school culture through our character education initiatives and enhanced behavioral supports. We are so proud of our students for demonstrating responsibility, kindness, and respect in their daily interactions.

This month, we’re also celebrating community and school traditions that make Fulton such a special place. Our winter sports teams have been performing well, with their dedication and teamwork inspiring us all. Upcoming events include the high school Winterfest dance, parent-teacher conferences, and home basketball games to support and cheer on our students. Thank you for your continued involvement in making these events successful and meaningful for our school community.

As we embrace the quieter winter evenings, consider taking time to connect with your teen through simple activities. Cooking a favorite meal together, playing board games, or watching a movie as a family can create opportunities for meaningful conversations. If you’re looking for fresh ideas, try going for a winter hike or volunteering together. These moments not only strengthen your bond but also show your teen that you value spending time with them.

Your presence and engagement are invaluable in supporting their growth and well-being.

Warm regards,
Mrs. Koves
Principal, Fulton Middle and High School
