Kent said in the email that most FCS Innovation Academy services were restored Monday and students can access their FCS account, including Canvas and Teams.

The school said until further notice, students will need to use their FCS-provided laptop for network access.

Innovation Academy is a high school of roughly 1,600 students that sits on the former site of Milton High School in downtown Alpharetta.
