Fulton Focus

As the school year ends, we celebrate the many accomplishments of all of our students culminating with graduation next week. It will be another busy summer with construction beginning on the Kindergarten Center and the last phase of the high school parking lot. The high school addition is complete and we invite everyone to the open house tomorrow. I want to thank the staff for their dedication, the parents for their patience, and the students for their resilience. Congratulations to our graduates and may you experience success in your next chapter. Thank you for sharing your students with us and as always, It’s a Great Day to be a Hornet!

Ty Crain, Superintendent

State Attendance Target: 90% of students attending 90% of the time.

We invite you to attend our FHS Ribbon Cutting Ceremony & Open House Event on May 20th!

The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will begin promptly at 10:00 am outside the new front entrance followed by an Open House until Noon.

We hope you take this opportunity to stop by and see the addition in person!

"Honoring Our Hornets" is a way for you to express your gratitude to any Fulton Public Schools employee who goes above and beyond what is expected. Anyone can submit an "Honoring Our Hornets" for any Fulton Public Schools employee.

Supervisors, including our Superintendent, will see your submission.

The employee will receive a token of appreciation that lets everyone know he or she was the recipient of an "Honoring Our Hornets!"

"Honoring Our Hornets" recipients are posted to our district social media pages to let our community know the names of the district's exceptional employees!

You may have noticed a new School Violence Tip Line link on our Fulton58 website under the For Parents and Community tab. This is an anonymous tip line linked to the Missouri Highway Patrol's Courage2Report Missouri. To prevent school violence, they offer three ways to anonymously report a concern. When a tip is submitted it immediately goes to law enforcement and notifies the school administrators. Please take the time to watch the video below, and to read the Student and Parent Frequently Asked Questions.
