• Parents, we get many drop offs throughout the day. Unfortunately, we do not have the staff capacity to hand deliver all of these items and it is disrupting to the learning of our students by having them come to retrieve items. As a reminder, we allow jackets and food (i.e. snacks and lunches) to be dropped off. Upon delivery, we are asking that you email your child’s teacher informing them of the item being dropped off and label the item with a sticky note. It will then be the responsibility of your child to come get the item once they are informed by their teacher. In addition, Kerrie Williams will always facilitate the delivery of medication to Nurse Kelly Spangler and eye glasses to students as these are immediate needs for students to have a successful day of learning. WE do not allow folders, homework, book bags, books, or water bottles to be dropped off. Your child will still be able have a safe day of learning without these items, so they can wait to be brought in the following day. Additionally, we do not allowing any DoorDash food deliveries to be made for our students. Thank you so much for helping us make these new procedures a success and for your flexibility and understanding!

In September, we embrace the mindset "We are Connected," which emphasizes fostering positive relationships among students and with the broader community. Our goal this month is to collect 960 cereal boxes, strengthening the link between Sharon Elementary and our community. Donations will be made to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta through the sale of Team Sharon t-shirts and to The Place of Forsyth through our cereal box drive, demonstrating our dedication to the Team Sharon spirit.

Please be reminded that no outside food is permitted for birthday celebrations.

Forsyth County Schools is partnering with Neptune Navigate to provide lessons focusing on digital citizenship. Each month will dig into a different topic. Our goal is to teach students to be Safe, Responsible, and Respectful when using technology and engaging online.

Would you like to continue the conversation at home? Here are some questions you may ask your elementary aged child:

• Why is it important for you to be smart and safe online
• Can you think of some things the internet is good for? How about what it’s bad for?
• How can you tell if someone is a stranger? How can you tell if someone is a stranger online?
• What does it mean to be responsible in the online world?

• Please join us for a fun night celebrating our Sharon Family at Cultural Night on October 8th from 6-8 pm. Sample world cuisines, see artifacts from other countries, and watch some amazing music and dance performances. This come-and-go event is FREE, including a bounce house, carnival games, and a passport to stamp as you "visit" the many countries and cultures that represent Team Sharon!

  
  

  You're also invited to host a table representing your family's country, culture, or family tradition. In addition to tables, we're looking for music and dance performers. Sign up here:

The Lambert & South Vertical Teams encourage our students and their families to UNPLUG and set technology aside so that you can intentionally spend time together as a family once a month. We hope you find some dedicated time together on these nights to connect in a meaningful was as a family.
