October 2025

At Fulton County Schools, we believe learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door; it starts at home and grows through strong family connections. That is why we created Family Matters, a fun and meaningful event that brings families together to explore learning, creativity, and community.

From hands-on activities to student showcases, Family Matters is all about celebrating what makes our schools—and your family—so special. It is a chance to connect, support your child’s growth, and enjoy a day filled with joy, learning, and togetherness.

We are proud to be a district that puts families first. This year’s event will take place at two locations:

• October 25, 2025, at Tri-Cities High School from 10 AM to 2 PM
• November 15, 2025, at Roswell High School from 10 AM to 2 PM

Join us for a day of fun, games, and prizes! Plus, free lunch. Connect as a family, support student learning, and celebrate the vibrant talents across our schools.
