THE PATRIOT PARENT CONNECTION
2021-2022: Fifteenth Edition - Week of November 15
Among the many things I am grateful for, on Thanksgiving Day and every day, is the opportunity to serve the Liberty community as its principal leader.
To care for our amazing kids.
To partner with our supportive families.
And to lead our incredibly dedicated staff.
I wish all of our families a safe, healthy, and joyful holiday week!
With thanksgiving for you,
Amanda Thrower
Principal

A NOTE FROM THE PATRIOT CLINIC
Please be aware of the FCS policy for medications at school (see below):
- A Request for Administration of Medication Form must be completed by the parent or guardian for ANY medications to be given: Medication Administration Form!
- All medications, both prescription and over the counter, must be brought in by a parent or guardian. NO students are allowed to bring medication to school. Students may not have medication in their possession except with a physician's order for emergency situations only. There is zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol in Forsyth County Schools.
- Medications must be in their original container. Medications brought in a zip lock bag or unmarked container will not be accepted/given. Prescription medication must be in a pharmacy container labeled with child's name, name of medication, name of prescribing physician, time medication is to be given and name of the pharmacy filling the prescription. You can ask pharmacist to give you two labeled prescription bottles so you have one for home and one for school.
- The clinic does not stock medications. All over the counter medications must be brought in by a parent or guardian.
- Do not bring medications to school which need to be given once daily or two/three times a day unless the physician specifically states a time during the school day which it is to be given.
- End of the Year Medication Pick Up: If the medication is not picked up from the clinic, by a parent/guardian, before or on the last day of school, it is considered abandoned. Abandoned medication will be destroyed in accordance with local, state, and federal laws/rules & guidelines by the school nurse and an administrator. We do not store medication over the summer to use for the next year.
- Please contact our Nurse, Sommer Oberkrom, with any questions or concerns regarding your student: f39018@forsyth.k12.ga.us.
