THE PATRIOT PARENT CONNECTION

Dear Patriot Parents/Guardians,

As we gear up for the fourth nine weeks, the finish line is in sight! With spring break just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to keep our focus as we approach the final stretch of the school year. We encourage you to balance your busy schedules with all the spring events and activities coming up, while helping your child stay on track. Let’s finish strong together!

On another note, here's a BIG shoutout to all the incredible women who inspire, lead, and make a difference every day at LMS! In honor of National Women's History Month, we celebrate your strength, resilience, and the lasting impact you have on our world. Here's to all the amazing women in our Patriot community past, present, and future!

Thank you so much for your contributions!

Our Spring Georgia Milestones Assessment testing window takes place after Spring Break. The Georgia Milestones Assessment is a comprehensive assessment system spanning grades 3 through high school.

Georgia Milestones is an online assessment designed to measure and provide information about how well students are mastering the state adopted content standards in the four core content areas. Importantly, Georgia Milestones is designed to provide students with critical information about their own achievement and readiness for their next level of learning.

The EOG/EOC tests will be administered based on the following schedule.

For questions or concerns regarding test administration, please contact Ashley Starr at 770-781-4889.

Rising 7th Grade Immunization Requirement for 2025-2026

Before starting the 2025-2026 school year; Per Georgia law, all public-school students born on or after January 1, 2002, and entering, advancing, or transferring into 7th grade in Georgia need proof of an adolescent pertussis (whooping cough) booster vaccination (Tdap) given on or after their 7th birthday and an adolescent meningococcal vaccination (MCV4) given on or after their 10th birthday. Proof of both vaccinations must be documented on the Georgia Immunization Certificate (Form 3231) by the first day of school for all 7th graders.

Where can a student get vaccinated?

Children should visit their health care provider or local health department to get their Tdap or meningococcal vaccination.

Once I confirm my student has received these immunizations, how do I let the school know?

The school nurse has access to the Georgia Registry of Immunizations and will be able to see when your student’s vaccinations are updated in the system. You are also welcome to email or call the school nurse at soberkrom@forsyth.k12.ga.us 770-781-4889 ext. 290120.
