However, the addition of the information below has been made. 

    *As with any commercially manufactured foods, some may be produced on equipment used to produce other allergen containing products such as milk, soy, wheat, and nuts.  These items are not identified on the serving line.  If a parent wishes, they may come to the central office food service department and look at the ingredient label notebook.

    Promotion/Retention

    This spring, all 3rd through 8th grade students will be assessed with the Georgia Milestones End-of-Grade assessment mandated by the state.  According to Georgia law, the student will be retained in their current grade level based on the following:

    · If a 3rd grade student scores below level in the reading domain of the ELA test; or

    · If a 5th or 8th grade student scores below level in the reading domain of the ELA test and/or at the beginning learner level on the math test.

    Per FCS Board policy, in grades where state-adopted assessments are administered, schools must consider the state assessment as part of the totality of evidence when considering placement or retention of students. The school principal, or designee, and a committee consisting of teacher(s) and parents, will meet to review all assessment data and other relevant information, to make a final decision whether to place the student in the next grade level or to retain the student. This decision will be based on the totality of evidence.
