ECF Chromebook Request - If you are a family that needs a device for your child to complete work at home, please complete the form as soon as possible to see if you are eligible to receive one of our Emergency Connectivity Funds (ECF) Chromebooks. We only have a limited number of devices remaining to be checked out to students. Families who are undergoing financial hardships will be prioritized.
Transportation changes - Can be submitted using either the transportation change request form and sending this form to school or by emailing SES-SHARONATTENDANCE@FORSYTH.K12.GA.US and your classroom teacher. All transportation change requests must be made before 1:30pm. Please be reminded that last check-outs are at 1:45.
Headphone Request - To maximize the instructional benefit of the technology we have at Sharon it would be helpful for all students to have their own set of headphones or earbuds. We are able to provide these to the students. However, we recognize that some students may prefer a more unique set that could be provided from home. If you choose to send in headphones or earbuds for your student, please be sure the connection cable has an auxiliary jack (pictured below). Please send these in by Thursday, August 8th. If you would prefer that Sharon provide this, please complete the form linked here.
Whether you are from Europe, Asia, Africa, New England, the Mid West, the West Coast, or the South. We would love to share your culture with our students and staff! Please fill out this form to give us some info about your culture to share on our live morning news during the "Touring Tuesday " segment
