Birthday Ice Cream Information
Celebrate your child's birthday at New Hope by purchasing ice cream for the class. Ice cream may not be purchased using money on your child's lunch account but should be purchased through School Pay. Purchases must be made at least one school day before you would like the ice cream served. Same day purchases will be celebrated the next available school day. Your child's teacher may need to delay the celebration if other events are the same day. If you can't remember if you've purchased birthday ice cream, please check your payment history on School Pay.
To purchase for grades K-5, visit this link.
To purchase for SI and PreK classes, visit this link.

Curriculum Night
Notes from Nurse G
Health Conditions: Forms and Medications
Dear Parents/Guardian(s):
I am so excited for another wonderful year at New Hope Elementary!
If your child has a health condition or medication that may require additional support while he/she is at school, please make sure all necessary healthcare action plans have been completed and brought to the school. You will find all forms needed on the school nurse page of the New Hope website or by clicking here. Please have these filled out completely and returned to me as soon as possible so that we may make sure your child receives the continuity of care that he/she deserves.
If your student requires medication to be kept at school, a Request for Administration of Medication form (1 for each medication) must also be completed. If your child has a condition that does not fall into a specific form please use the Individual Health Care Plan form. In addition, please note most forms require both a physician’s and the parent/guardian’s signature.
Please be aware that any medication should be brought to the school by the parent/guardian. No student is permitted to carry medication to or from school. Tylenol, Motrin, cough drops, lozenges, and sunscreen are all considered medications.
If a previous condition no longer applies to your child or does not require any medical intervention at school, please provide documentation from the physician stating such. Documentation must be received before any condition(s) may be removed from our system.
I know these form(s) can feel overwhelming. I appreciate you taking your time to help me provide great care to your child. I look forward to seeing your student thrive this year. Please feel free to call me, at 678-965-5101 x562106, or email me, at gsampson@forsyth.k12.ga.us, if you have any questions or concerns.
