Camp Creek Middle School partners with Cartwheel to connect students and families to mental health support when they need it. This year, Cartwheel offers individual therapy for students, parent and caregiver guidance, and new expanded Care Programs for specific challenges including school avoidance, screens and social media use, and intense emotions and behavior challenges.

Appointments are virtual and flexible, including evenings and weekends. Care is free with Medicaid, and most private insurances are accepted. Care is available in multiple languages, including Spanish.

Think your child or family could benefit from support? Complete this simple interest form to get started.

2. How many phones does your child have? One of the most surprising findings in the ACE-1 program was the number of students who have multiple phones. They may have one you know about and monitor, and another “secret” phone.

3. Pay attention to the law.

In Georgia, it is illegal for anyone under 21 to buy, possess, or use nicotine or alternative nicotine/vape products. Recreational marijuana and THC oil vapes are completely illegal for minors and adults alike, and possessing THC oil—even in a small vape pen—can result in serious felony drug charges under the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Nicotine and Vaping Age Restrictions (Tobacco 21)

5.Potency – Are you comparing it to when you were a student? SouthLight’s Prevention Educators note they often hear things from parents like, “I used marijuana when I was younger, and it didn’t hurt me.” But today, THC Vapes and joints are significantly more potent (30% THC compared to 4-6% in the 90s, with some concentrates boasting 90% to 95% THC—in the form of waxes, edibles, and more). Source: https://www.apa.org/monitor/2025/06/marijuana-potency-policy-risk

6. Life changes and developmental differences: A common thread the SouthLight team sees in its program are students who are experiencing some kind of tumult in their lives or have been uprooted in some way (moved to a new town, changed schools, etc.). Ninth graders in particular fall under this category as they’re trying to fit in at high school. Another is students who may be on the neurodivergent spectrum, such as those with ADHD.

Substance use trends are ever evolving, but one thing remains constant: parents play a critical role in prevention.

Fulton County Schools is excited to introduce SchoolCash Online — a convenient, secure way for families and students to pay online for school fees. Introduced during the 2026-2027 school year, this new platform reduces cash and check handling in schools, and it offers families and students a convenient, secure way to pay online.

PLEASE NOTE: For school lunch/breakfast purchases, please visit MySchoolBucks

What is SchoolCash Online?

SchoolCash Online is a trusted, user-friendly platform used by school districts across the country. It gives families and students the ability to:

• Pay for items online 24/7 using a credit card, digital wallet or debit card
• Receive email notifications for upcoming events and new items
• View and print receipts

All transactions are processed securely and are specific to your student.

What types of items/fees will be paid through SchoolCash Online?

SchoolCash Online will be used to collect payments for activities and school fees that previously required cash or checks, including but not limited to:

• Field trips
• Classroom activities
• Parking permits
• Yearbooks

How do families get started?

In July 2026, Fulton County Schools families received an email invitation from SchoolCash Online with a unique link to register. Once registered, families will be able to access their students’ items, manage payments and track history all in one place. Even if families don’t plan to make purchases right away, all families are encouraged to create an account to stay informed.
