Covid-19 Reporting Information
Just as we experienced last year, our COVID-19 processes may potentially change as we continuously reevaluate our community.
Please check our Forsyth County Schools website here, our social media, and Wildcat Chat regularly for any updates to this information.
- If your child is showing ANY symptoms, please do not send them to school.
- Symptoms of COVID-19 include: fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or a new loss of taste or smell
- If your child has a positive test for COVID-19, contact Nurse G at gsampson@forsyth.k12.ga.us
- If a child tests positive, any students or staff members who were in the same classroom (or bus) will be notified via Campus Messenger using the primary email that is listed in Parent Portal. It is important that all parents check the email that is listed in Parent Portal daily to stay informed.
- Families may choose to self-quarantine their child once notified of possible exposure. Please contact Nurse G at gsampson@forsyth.k12.ga.us of your decision to self-quarantine.
- If a student’s household member (someone who lives in the home with the student) tests positive, please keep your student home and contact Nurse G at gsampson@forsyth.k12.ga.us.

Lost & Found
Around Our Community
Welcome to Purposity!
Everywhere around us we see people in need. We also see people who want to help others but don’t know how. We connect those dots through the power of technology.
School systems and non-profits in local communities let us know needs in your area. We spread the word to individuals near them who are willing to help. They click a link, see the need, and make a difference for someone near them. It may be the family next door who lost their home in a fire or the child down the street you didn’t know needed school supplies.
It’s easy. It’s simple, and it takes just a few clicks to make a difference in someone’s life. It’s the fastest way to impact your community, one need at a time. Download the app to start making a difference today!
Partners in Education
At Big Creek Elementary, we are always looking for businesses for our Partners in Education program. These community members generously give their time and resources to invest in our students’ well-being and successes. Please contact kturner@forsyth.k12.ga.us or khays44@forsyth.k12.ga.us for more information.
