We are excited to travel with our 7th graders tomorrow to the Ga Aquarium and Truist park. Please see the details below about departure time, supplies for packing, and arrival time back at LMS. Please know that we are on a strict time schedule, so we must adhere to departure times.

• Students report directly to your chaperone’s classroom at 8:50 (students will be notified on Monday of who their chaperone is).
• Bring the following:
• Drawstring bag

• Charging supplies
• Snacks/water bottle- these CANNOT go into the venues so pack them in a lunch box to leave on the bus.

It is important that students are ON TIME to school. We cannot hold the buses for late students.

We are excited about tomorrow's events and look forward to a great day of making memories with our students!

We will not be selling Chick Fil A biscuits on Thursday 3/14. This is due to early release and other activities going on that day. Sales will resume the following week.

The famous DUCK will be on our school campus tomorrow, March 11th! Come see us in the car rider line. Help FOCO reach our goal of 10,000 ducks getting adopted! For just $10, you could win $10,000. All money raised supports school grants. When you adopt a duck, you can also enter a name for the duck! The winning name will be announced at the drawing on March 29th! The goal for our community is 181 adopted ducks! We've got this, LIBERTY!

Our 3Q STAR Card Reward Day is coming up on Monday, March 18th! Eligible students will report to PT first thing that morning to pick up bracelets. Students will be able to choose from a variety of ice cream choices. Help me celebrate our students who continue to exhibit strong STAR values! Go Patriots!

During March we are having a friendly March Money Madness competition between our 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students. All proceeds will go to The Place of Forsyth. Every penny equals one point. The grade level that donates the most pennies wins the most points. However, any silver coins dropped into any jar subtract points from that grade's total amount. We will total the points each week during March, and the winning grade level gets to create a selection of music to be played during lunch!

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.
