- Families may pick-up curbside each day school is in session. Pick-up time is 11AM-Noon.

Free & Reduced Meal Benefits
Even though all students currently are receiving meals free of charge, families who qualify for meal benefits should still complete free and reduced-price meal applications to avoid a lapse in meal benefits once the waiver has ended. Meal applications are not required to receive free meals during the time the waiver is active. If you have questions about free and reduced-price meal applications please contact Sandra McKinzie at smckinzie@forsyth.k12.ga.us

A Note from Nurse G
It's hard enough in good times to make an early morning decision on whether or not your child should come to school. Add in a pandemic and the upcoming cold and flu season, and it will be even harder. Here's a great guide from Children’s Hospital of Atlanta to help you decide!
