THE PATRIOT PARENT CONNECTION
2023-2024 Week of March 4, 2024
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our Liberty PTSO is the best! They work so hard behind the scenes to plan such wonderful events for our students. Thank you to all of the parents who volunteered or donated items for our Ice Cream Fundraiser. It was wildly successful, and our Patriots thoroughly enjoyed the ice cream and fun toppings. Check out our socials to see many more pictures from this amazing day!
Love,
LMS Admin

NURSE INFORMATION
RISING 7th GRADE IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENT
Before starting the 2024-2025 school year; Per Georgia law, all public-school students born on or after January 1, 2002, and entering, advancing, or transferring into 7th grade in Georgia need proof of an adolescent pertussis (whooping cough) booster vaccination (Tdap) given on or after their 7th birthday and an adolescent meningococcal vaccination (MCV4) given on or after their 10th birthday. Proof of both vaccinations must be documented on the Georgia Immunization Certificate (Form 3231) by the first day of school for all 7th graders.
Where can a student get vaccinated?
Children should visit their health care provider or local health department to get their Tdap or meningococcal vaccination.
Once I confirm my student has received these immunizations, how do I let the school know?
The school nurse has access to the Georgia Registry of Immunizations and will be able to see when your student’s vaccinations are updated in the system. You are also welcome to email or call the school nurse at soberkrom@forsyth.k12.ga.us 770-781-4889 ext. 290120.
