We are thrilled to welcome our new K-12 art teacher! Tamara was born and raised in Michigan and is an accomplished marketing professional and graphic designer who has lived and worked in California for the past 20 years. Tamara has a BFA from Kendall College of Art & Design. She has forever been “young at art” and has recently moved home and is continuing to pursue her love and passion for Art by fostering the same in students as a Fulton Schools Art Teacher. Her classes are created to enhance traditional and technological learning and individual growth and achievement, while having fun! She hopes her projects will allow her students to develop their art skills while instilling an appreciation for and a personal, life-long value on Art.

Here is a bit of what’s going on this summer! Making steady progress!

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.

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.
