quote of the week
Character Ed Trait of the Month: February (Compassion) and Counseling Corner
The month of February is a good time to think about ways you can show compassion and help others who need a word of encouragement or show of friendship.
Kindergarten through second graders are working on showing compassion by using kind words and lending a helping hand. Third-fifth graders explain what compassion means in their own words; discuss ways to show compassion in different situations, respond to “how would you feel” questions, and act out different scenarios where you could use compassion.

Monday, February 25: Elementary School - Level Spelling Bee (3rd - 5th Grade)
Monday, February 25: Texas A&M Visit with HS Study Hall Students

High School Science Olympiad Team Places 2nd at Regionals and Qualifies for State Tournament
The FSA High School Science Olympiad Team made school history as it won the 2nd place team trophy at the Georgia Tech Regional on Saturday and earned a spot at the State Tournament at Emory University on March 23, 2019.
FSA earned medals in 11 events and scored in the top ten in 21 of 23 events. Forsyth South High School won the tournament, but FSA bested some of the biggest public and private high schools in the state, including Collins Hill, North Gwinnett, South Cobb, and Woodward Academy. “Today demonstrated the importance of entering every event even if you think you are not prepared and that consistency across all events wins tournaments even if you don't win any individual medals,” head coach Pam Walsh told the team following the tournament.
“Our building events placed surprisingly well,” said events coach Yasin Parlak. “Typically, it is the building events that bring down a team’s score, but we medaled in nearly all of them.” Twin brothers Enes and Mehmet played a big role in the team’s success taking first place in Boomilever and Mousetrap Vehicle and second in Mission Possible. Charlie F., Brad, Nick and Aubrey anchored the team’s academic events. Team Captain Nick had an event in each of the five time slots and placed in the top 7 for each.
Medals were earned in the following events:
Boomilever
- 1st Place – Enes and Mehmet

say something week
February 25th – March 1st is “Say Something Week”. According to the Sandy Hook Promise website, those who are at-risk of hurting themselves or others often show signs and signals before an act of violence takes place. Say Something Week encourages adults and students to learn the signs of someone who may be heading down the path towards violence. By knowing the signs, you have the power to intervene and get help for that person. Your actions could save lives.
KNOW THE SIGNS
People who are at-risk of hurting themselves or others often show signs and signals before an act of violence takes place. When you don’t know what to look for, it can be easy to miss signs, or dismiss them as unimportant, sometimes with tragic consequences.
It’s important to know that one warning sign on its own does not mean a person is planning an act of violence. But when many connected or cumulative signs are observed over a period of time, it could mean that the person is heading down a pathway towards violence or self-harm. By knowing the signs, you have the power to intervene and get help for that person. Your actions can save lives.
PI DAY IS MARCH 14TH! GET READY TO HAVE SOME PIZZA!
Please celebrate Pi Day with us on March 14th. We will have pizza slices from Flippin' Pizza available for students to purchase for $2.00 per large cut slice. Your choice of gluten free pizza option is available.
Please use the link below to pay via PayPal on the Mustang Support Organization's website. You will receive a receipt via email for the slices purchased. Please indicate your child's name, grade, homeroom teacher's name, number of slices and gluten free choice on the link below.
To purchase via Paypal please click here: https://fsamso.org/product/pi-day-pizza

Written authorization to dispense medications shall be limited to two weeks unless otherwise prescribed by a physician. Medication shall only be dispensed out of its original container, which must be labeled with the child’s name. Extra medication will not be sent home with a student. All medication will be kept in a secure location in the clinic and/or front office.
Parents, please remind your students that if they are feeling unwell that they need to first visit the clinic and be assessed by our school nurse, who will then call you in the event that the student should go home. Students should not use their phones during the school day to contact parents.
FAQ:
- Does the school provide medications?
No. The school does not provide medication. The student's parent or guardian must bring the student's medicine to the front office or school clinic, along with an "Authorization to Give Medication" Form.
- May the parent/guardian bring and give medications to their student?
Yes, a parent/guardian may come to school and give their child medication. Parents should still follow the visitor sign in procedures.
- Where can I find Authorization Forms?
Authorization forms can be found at the front desk or school clinic.
- Why do I need a doctor's health care provider's note for adult strength over-the-counter medication when my health care provider has told me it is appropriate for my student's weight (or condition)?
The school nurse wants to protect your child and must follow guidelines for dosage recommended by the manufacturer.
- How do students get their medications during after school hours?
The principal, along with administration and the school nurse will determine by whom and how medication will be secured and administered during after school hours.
- Why do medications have to be in the original container?
The original container provides information from the manufacturer about over-the-counter medications, including the name of the medication, the proper dose, how the medication should be given, how often the medication should be given, possible side effects, and when the medication is no longer effective (an expiration date.)
The original prescription container includes the name of the medication, the patient's name, the prescribing licensed health care provider, the proper dose, how and when it should be given, when the medication expires, and the pharmacy where the medication was purchased. All of this information is necessary for the school nurse to administer medication in a safe manner.
- What if my child's medication or dosage changes?
Parents/Guardians must inform the school nurse of any medication changes. New medication or different doses will not be given unless the parent completes a new medication form. The information on the prescription bottle label must match the new consent form.
- Can my child take herbal medication at school?
No. Over-the-counter diet pills, vitamins, dietary supplements, including minerals or herbs will not be given.
- May my child carry cough drops at school?
No. Cough-drops must be left in the clinic along with a completed "Authorization to Give Medication at School" Form.
- May my child carry over the counter medication at school?
No. It must be left in the clinic along with and "Authorization to Give Medication at School" Form.
- Can my child carry his/her Epipen, Insulin, or Asthma Inhaler at school?
Yes, students may carry inhalers and Epipens or insulin with a completed "Authorization to Carry Prescription Medication" Form. You can get this form from the school nurse.
- Why is there a place for the health care provider to sign the authorization form for my child to carry their inhaler/epipen at school?
The health care provider's signature indicates that your child has been instructed on the proper use of their inhaler/Epipen and that your child is responsible for administering it to himself/herself without supervision.
- Why do I have to have a prescription label on the inhaler/Epipen?
The prescription on the inhaler/epipen includes the child's name, how often it is to be used, and what dose is appropriate for your child. It is difficult to keep the label directly on the inhaler/epipen.
- If I give my child Tylenol for a fever, can I still send them to school?
If the fever is more than 100.9 degrees F before you give them Tylenol, then your child cannot come to school. Your child may return to school when his/her temperature is below 101 degrees F without Tylenol or any other fever reducing medication for 24 hours, if s/he feels well and is not showing signs of illness.
- If I give my child Tylenol for aches and pains can I still send them to school?
You child is welcome at school while taking Tylenol or any other over-the-counter medication for an injury, dental work, etc. However, if the medication is for a sore throat, earache or flu like symptoms, please keep them at home.
- Why can't I put medicine in my child's lunch box if he/she has to take medicine at lunch?
Medication in a lunch box could be lost or taken by another child. If a staff member found the medication it could be considered an illegal drug with consequences according to the Code of Conduct. Medications must be brought to the front office or school clinic by parents/guardians in the original and properly labeled container.
- If I treat my child for lice can I send them back to school the same day?
- Why do I have to bring in a box top to verify lice treatment?

- How long will my child's over-the-counter medication be given at school?
- What happens to my child's medication at the end of the school year?
- May my child share over-the-counter medication with another student?
- Why should my child take the first dose of new medication at home?
aftercare hours reminder
Parents, please be reminded that After - School Care is provided every day from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm for a fee of $15.00 per day or $200.00 for the month. We ask that parents pick up any remaining students by 6:00 pm, and no later, as the school closes at 6:00pm. Sometimes our Academic Teams will stay later, but these students are not considered to be in After-Care. There are also sometimes outside organizations that use our facility for sports events, so it may look like there are still plenty of people here, but these more often than not, do not include aftercare students. Thank you for your understanding.
