Fulton Middle and High Schools

Volleyball open gyms are starting tomorrow at Fulton High School from 6-8 p.m. If you are a current Fulton student/parent, then please check your student email. We would also love to see some of our alumni players join us and bring a little competition. Please tag others who may not be tagged. Here are some important details. 1. We are only allowed in the gym and locker rooms. Please enter through the high school gym door. Please arrive around 5:45, so we can get the net(s) up and begin on time. 2. The water may be turned off due to construction, so please bring plenty of water to hydrate yourself. 3. Because the water may be turned off, restrooms may not be available. Please use the restroom right before you leave to come to open gym. For emergencies, there are porta potties in the parking lot. 4. This is meant to be a fun time for you to dust off your volleyball skills, so bring your athletic shoes, knee pads (if needed), and a great, positive attitude! Here are the dates for open gyms this summer (all are from 6-8 p.m.): Wednesday, June 8 Monday, June 13 Wednesday, June 15 Monday, June 20 (I will be absent, so I need another coach to cover this if possible...stay tuned!)

Good Morning Fulton Families As we continue to learn more about the tragic events that occurred in Uvalde, Texas, please join me in praying for the victims, their families, the students, staff and community. Whenever, events such as these occur we are all struck with disbelief and questions about what could have been done to prevent this from happening. Please know that we are committed to making our campus and facilities as safe as possible. Schools should be a safe place for all students and staff. We have policies in place to keep our building secure, we teach students what to do when events like these happen and we practice emergency drills. However, it is important for all of us to actively take school safety seriously. Often after events like this we learn that almost always someone was aware of the danger. We all must be vigilant and take action when we see/hear threatening behaviors either directly or in social media posts. We are all called to action. We must be proactive to report suspicious activity to school administration or law enforcement. Reports can also me made on the Ok2Say website. If you have further questions or concerns please don't hesitate to contact your building administrator or the superintendent. We wish you all a safe and exciting summer.

This week we sent our seniors off with one last assembly. They narrowly beat the freshman in the spirit call. Then we waved them out and 11th-8th graders took their new spots in the gym.

Our graduating seniors has a lovely baccalaureate service this evening. 🎓

Congratulations Class of 2022! Senior Walk on their last day of school and Graduation on Sunday. Proud of you all.

Good Morning 7th & 9th Grade Students, Parents & Fulton Staff, Just wanted to let you know that on Thursday May 12th, the Mid-Michigan Health Department will be at the school doing vision screening on the 7th & 9th grade students. This is a free service that the Health Department provides. Please call the office with any questions 👀 Vision Screening Vision screening of pre-school children is conducted by Local Health Department staff at least once between the ages of 3 and 5 years, and school-age children are screened in grades 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9, or in conjunction with driver training classes. Many children enter school with vision problems. Children usually do not know that they see differently. Early identification of an eye problem is important. Conditions like amblyopia, or lazy eye, can be prevented if detected and treated during pre-school years. FREE Vision Screenings at Your Local Health Department All county or district health departments have a Vision Screening Program which includes initial screening, retesting, and referral of children. Vision screening of pre-school and school-age children includes tests using screening and testing procedures approved by the Michigan Department of Community Health (MDCH): Clearness of vision Eye muscle balance Nearsightedness Farsightedness These tests are used to screen pre-school and school-age children aid in identifying children who may have vision problems that require additional evaluation and follow-up. A referral is made to an eye care professional after a child has failed one or more of the battery of vision screening tests or has an observable symptom. Follow-up for all referrals is conducted helping to assure that care is received. Completed follow-up is reported to MDCH. At least ten percent of the children screened in Michigan are referred annually to an eye care professional. Of all children screened in Michigan annually, the Michigan Vision Screening Test Battery routinely identifies 10-15% of those screened as needing eye care. Only a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist can diagnose visual conditions. Screenings are intended for all children in Michigan without cost and are conducted in all schools and at your Local Health Department by appointment.
