We want you to get the most out of your evening at Parent University/Curriculum Night. A link to session sign-ups will be sent via Campus Messenger. Take a few minutes and RSVP for your session attendance. Space is limited for each session so please make sure you only reserve the spaces you need! Each adult attending the session will need a reservation and we are asking for children/students to not attend the sessions in an effort to ensure all parents/guardians are able to attend the sessions they need!

Forsyth County Schools conducts scoliosis screenings for 6th and 8th graders per Georgia state requirement. Parents have the option to refuse screenings using this form.

2023 Career Exploration & Pathway Discovery Fair will be open for middle school families to attend on October 10th from 4:30 - 6:00 PM at the Lanier Tech Forsyth Conference Center.

At RMS, students show their PRIDE everyday. The letters in the PRIDE acronym each represent the positive traits we strive for. This week, in the PRIDE Periodical, we are featuring E. The staff of RMS encourage and recognize students for meeting these expectations.

September 1st is an Early Release Day for Forsyth County Schools!! Please see the modified bell schedule here!

As a reminder, all school visitors must follow proper check-in protocol through the front office. Only visitors who have appointments will be admitted into the building. We also do not have space to accommodate visitors during lunch periods in the cafeteria. We appreciate your understanding and compliance for these important safety measures!

Please remember to email Ms. Hayworth at f41677@forsyth.k12.ga.us if your student is absent for any reason! Absence letters/emails must be received within 5 days of your student's absence.

• No check outs will be processed after 3:30 PM.
• Students will only be released to a parent or adult listed in Infinite Campus. No student will be released to anyone under the age of 18.

For safety reasons, we will not accept any drop-off items for students (instruments, backpacks, etc.). Acceptable drop-off items include medication for the clinic, eye glasses, and anything dealing with dietary concerns. We thank you for your understanding in helping make our school secure!

Middle schoolers spill… a lot. Please make sure water bottles sent to school are non-glass and spill-proof to avoid messes.

Check out our updated Exam Policy!

If your student needs medication during the school day, please see the page for Nurse Brenda!

Student Medication

Students are assigned one bus stop, morning and afternoon. FCS Transportation does not authorize bus stop changes where students can go home with friends or relatives or get off the bus at a bus stop other than their designated bus stop assigned to them and their home address. The only exception is in court-ordered joint custody scenarios where an additional address has been updated and verified in their IC profile.

Resource Guides for Parent Portal

To be best prepared for the first day of school, it would be beneficial for you and your student to review some navigation tips for our new learning management system, Canvas! Click here to be taken to the Forsyth County School's Canvas How-To Guides!

We do ask for grace as we are all learning Canvas together. With it being new for everyone this year, there may be times where bugs exist. If that's the case, please show patience as we work through the issues!
