Welcome to the Fulton Public Schools Family

Summer 2017

Dear New FPS Faculty,

The 2017-18 school year will be here before we know it! I hope your summer provides you with some time for rest and relaxation. We are pleased to welcome you as a member of the Fulton 58 School District Team and are excited you have chosen to join our Hornet family. Orientation days for teachers new to Fulton Public Schools will be the week of August 7, 2017.

To kick-off the week, the Callaway County Chamber of Commerce will sponsor a breakfast on Monday, August 7, beginning at 8:00 a.m. Members of the Chamber and the business community are expected to attend. Tuesday, August 8 – Thursday, August 10 will include trainings on technology used in the District, PBIS, PLC, and Everyday Math as well as time in your respective buildings. Dress expectations for Monday – Thursday are business casual. The week will end much like it started with an All-Staff Breakfast and welcome to begin at 7:15 a.m. on Friday, August 11. Monday, August 14 and Tuesday, August 15 will be focused at the building level. The first student attendance day is Wednesday, August 16. A more detailed schedule for the week is attached and can also be found on the FPS website under the Staff tab.

A personnel file is maintained on each employee in the central office. Before the opening of school, the following items will need to be on file:

  • Official Transcript of Credits (This should include all hours toward your degree and/or certification.)
  • Missouri Teacher’s Certificate
  • Teacher Application for Certificated Position (original, not a fax)

If you need direction or assistance in obtaining a certificate, please contact the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education at 573-751-0051.

Feel free to contact me if you have questions. I look forward to working with you!
