- As long as your student is logging into ItsLearning regularly and completing work in a timely manner, they will be marked present.
- If you receive a notification over the weekend that your student has been marked absent for one or more days, it means they did not submit all of the assignments for the week.
- If your student is too ill to log into itsLearning to complete work, please notify their teacher and Danielle Worley (dworley@forsyth.k12.ga.us) to make them aware of the absence.

FOOTBALL
Our next football game is Saturday against North Forsyth Middle at North Forsyth High School (9:00 A.M. kickoff). We are excited for our athletes to have an opportunity to play, and we want these opportunities to continue! Thus, please help us by:
- Social distancing in the stands (sit by households six feet apart from other households)
- When not social distancing, wear a mask
- Supervise children in your care and monitor their application of safety precautions
- Bring hand sanitizer and use throughout the game
- Try to bring exact change for gate tickets to cut-down on the exchange of bills ($4/student; $6/adults; $3/seniors 65+, FCS retirees, & veterans)
a note from the Patriot Clinic
To the parents of 2020-2021 NEWLY ENROLLED students to Forsyth County:
Form GA-3300 –Vision/Hearing/Dental/Nutrition Form Provisional certificate expires on November 1st. At registration, if the V/H/D/N form is not complete, the parents have 90 days to provide the school with the certificate. Fall break is a good time to get these forms completed. Please contact your physician or the Forsyth County Health Department at 428 Canton Highway in Cumming at 770-781-6900 for an appointment for the health screenings. You can submit these forms to the front office.

PTSO
Thank You to all that have joined!!
A heartfelt thank you to all our parents and staff members who joined PTSO before school even started! We are stronger together and appreciate all our PTSO does to support Liberty students!
It's NOT too late to join!! Just go to My Payments Plus!
General Health Precautions
- Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the building, but we encourage students to bring their own, as well.
- Our custodians will be sanitizing classrooms every afternoon. If you want to send cleaning wipes with your student to wipe down surfaces before use, please just make sure they are not bleach-based products.
- It is the expectation of staff and students to wear masks, if they are able. We want to be able to maintain face-to-face instruction all year. In order to do so, we MUST work to keep each other safe; mask-wearing is a significant part of this.
