Cafeteria Funds
Did you know that you can place a reminder on your student's MyPaymentsPlus account (cafeteria funds) when your student's lunch account is low? It will alert you when you have a balance below $10. This will ensure that your student's lunch account is never without funds.
Out of District (OOD)
Out-of-district requests for the 2024-2025 school year will be available to be submitted beginning October 18, 2023 - November 30, 2023. The November 30th deadline does not apply to employees of Forsyth County Schools or families moving into or within Forsyth County.

Need Volunteers for Duty Free Lunch for Teachers!
Volunteers needed each month so our amazing teachers can eat lunch outside of the lunchroom one day a month!
CHICK-FIL-A BISCUITS ARE BACK!
We will be selling Chick-fil-a biscuits every Thursday morning in our carline. The cost is $5.00 - while supplies last and cash only.
Cops and Kids
Each year, the Sgt. D.P. Land Memorial FOP Lodge #82 hosts the Cops and Kids shopping event. This event, which has been held for over 10 years, is one of our most popular because it brings smiles to so many in the community--officers, volunteers, and children alike!
The Lodge raises funds from community donations to support this event throughout the year. Every year, families who are struggling financially are chosen and meet with local law enforcement officers to shop for gifts with their family. With the community's help, the Lodge has made sure hundreds of under-privileged children (3-14 yrs old) receive Christmas gifts.
Please complete the form and return to the School Resource Officer or email attachment to: Copsnkids82@gmail.com before Friday, December 1, 2023. No late forms can be accepted. Event is scheduled to take place December 12, 2023 at 7pm.
