Where to get Forsyth County school calendar PDFs and live district events
The official Open Forsyth County Schools Calendar page is the first place to check for student calendars, district calendar events, deadlines, school-year downloads, and future-year planning. The page includes student calendar links such as 2025-26, 2026-27, and 2027-28 when available.

If your issue involves attendance notes, teacher communication, student pickup, classroom concerns, a school event, a counselor, or a school-specific form, the school office is often the faster first contact.

District routing, Board meeting information, central department direction, public records routing, and district-level questions.

Attendance, pickup, teachers, counselors, classwork, local events, school-specific forms, and campus announcements.

Current Forsyth County Board members and what the BOE handles
The official Board of Education page lists five board districts. The current official listing includes Wes McCall as Vice Chairman for District 1, Trisha Hoyes for District 2, Dorian Usherwood for District 3, Chris Grimes for District 4, and Mike Valdes as Chairman for District 5.
Board names, roles, and district pages can change after elections, reorganization meetings, appointments, resignations, or official updates. Before naming a board member in a letter, public comment, article, or civic request, open the official Board of Education page and confirm the current list.
The Board is the official local governing body for district-level policy, meetings, agendas, public participation, school calendars, budget-related actions, and other district governance matters. The Board is not the same as a school principal, teacher, transportation dispatcher, registrar, counselor, or classroom support office.
👤 Chairman

👥 Vice Chairman
Wes McCall is listed as Vice Chairman for District 1.

How to check Forsyth County BOE meetings, agendas, videos and participation rules
The official Open Board Meeting Schedule page says meetings are held at the Board of Education/Professional Development Center at 1120 Dahlonega Highway, Cumming, in the 112-seat meeting room on the first floor unless otherwise noted.
The same page says meeting videos can be viewed live on Forsyth County Schools’ YouTube channel. It also points users to Board Meeting Agendas and a Public Participation Request Form. For questions about Board of Education meetings, the page says to contact Suzy Mayo.
For 2026 regular meetings, the page notes executive session at 5:00 p.m. and the public portion beginning at 6:00 p.m. It lists monthly regular meeting dates and work session dates. Because schedules can change, use the official schedule before attending or submitting a public participation request.
Open the official meeting schedule
Do not rely only on a search result, social post, or copied calendar item.
Confirm meeting type and time
Check whether it is a regular meeting, work session, called meeting, executive session, or public portion.
Use the agenda and participation links
Open the official agenda and public participation request links before preparing comments.
Verify the location
Most meetings are listed at 1120 Dahlonega Highway unless otherwise noted, but always verify before traveling.
Public meeting reminder: Board meeting rules, time limits, public participation process, and agenda items can change. Use the official Board meeting and public participation pages before speaking or attending.
New student registration, kindergarten registration and office-hour help
The official Open New Student Registration page is the correct starting point for new student enrollment. The page gives registration updates by school year, including notes about which grade levels are open for registration.
The registration page lists registration@forsyth.k12.ga.us and 678-947-0863 ext. 0 for other questions or concerns. It also lists office hours as Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., with the office closed from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. daily.
Do not assume registration is open for every grade or every school year just because a form is online. The district may open kindergarten registration separately from grades 1-12, and registration windows can change during school-year rollover.
Open the New Student Registration page
Start from the official page so you see the current school-year registration status.
Check grade-level timing
Kindergarten, grades 1-12, and future-year registration can open on different dates.
Prepare required documents
Use the official registration requirements page before submitting forms or attending an appointment.
Use official registration contact details
Email registration@forsyth.k12.ga.us or call 678-947-0863 ext. 0 when the official page directs you to do so.
Required registration documents parents should prepare before enrollment
The official Open Registration Requirements page says Forsyth County Schools must have all required documents upon registration for students to be enrolled and receive a schedule for the upcoming school year.
If documents are missing by the time of the registration appointment, the district says families should attend the appointment and a registrar will review what they have. Families may be able to return missing documents later without an appointment. This is helpful, but missing records can still delay complete enrollment, schedule access, transportation, or school assignment steps.
Because registration is an official school-record process, use the current district checklist before the appointment. Residency documents, custody or guardianship details, immunization records, birth records, previous school records, and address changes can require specific documentation.
🪪 Parent or guardian ID
Use the official checklist for identity and guardian documentation expectations.
🎂 Student identity
Prepare student identity and age records according to the district’s current requirements.
🏠 Proof of residence
Use official residency instructions, especially if you recently moved or live with another family.
🏥 Health records
Check the official requirements for immunization and related health documentation.
⚖️ Custody documents
Custody, guardianship, or address issues can need extra documentation.
📚 Previous school records
Transferring students may need prior school records, withdrawal documentation, or grade information.
School zoning map, address lookup and assigned school questions
The official Open School Zoning Map page is the safest starting point for school assignment questions. Families should not rely only on city names, subdivision names, realtor listings, online map guesses, or what a nearby neighbor says.
Forsyth County has fast-growing areas, and school zones can be more specific than a simple Cumming, Suwanee, Alpharetta, or county address label. The official zone lookup should be used before moving, leasing, buying, registering, requesting transportation, or assuming a child can attend a particular campus.
🧭 Use official zoning
Check the district’s school zoning map before relying on third-party school assignment websites.
🏠 Address matters
School assignment is tied to the official address and district zoning information.
📌 Recheck before moving
Recheck with official tools before signing a lease, buying a home, or planning registration.
⚠️ Zone changes happen
Growth, new campuses, attendance balancing, and board action can affect zones.
Forsyth County bus help, transportation contacts and route questions
The official transportation pages explain that nearly two-thirds of Forsyth County Schools’ children start and end every school day on an FCS school bus. Transportation pages provide help by school, district supervisor, transportation supervisor, special needs supervisor, phone numbers, extensions, and related contact paths.
Transportation is not a generic map question. Bus stop details, eligibility, school assignment, special education transportation, and transportation contact paths depend on the student’s school and address. Use the district’s official transportation pages and “Who Should I Call?” information before asking a driver to create or change a stop.
🚌 Bus questions
Use official transportation contacts by school and supervisor instead of guessing from a route map.
📍 Address-based routing
Bus stop and route questions are tied to official student address and school assignment.
♿ Special needs transportation
Use official district special needs transportation contacts for individual student transportation needs.
⚠️ Driver caution
Do not ask bus drivers to change stops without district transportation approval.
School start times, end times, early release and 2-hour delay planning
The official Open School Start & End Times page lists school/program start and end times. Elementary I is listed from 7:40 a.m. to 2:20 p.m., Elementary II from 8:20 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Middle from 9:00 a.m. to 4:15 p.m., and High from 8:25 a.m. to 3:40 p.m..
The same page lists early release times: 11:50 a.m. for Elementary I, 12:30 p.m. for Elementary II, 1:30 p.m. for Middle, and a listed High early release time on the official page. It also says that if a 2-hour delay is announced, families should add two hours to the start times listed.
🍎 Elementary I
7:40 a.m. to 2:20 p.m.; early release listed as 11:50 a.m.
🍏 Elementary II

🎓 High schools

Parent Portal, ClassLink, student access and family communication tools
The official Forsyth County Schools site links families to Parent Portal, ClassLink, school pages, student records, registration, calendars, food and nutrition, student support, and other parent resources. These links are safer than searching for login pages directly because old or unofficial login screens can confuse users.
Use Parent Portal for school information tied to the student account when available. Use ClassLink through official district links for student applications and learning resources. Use individual school sites for campus announcements, school calendars, teacher information, counseling links, and school-specific resources.
📱 Parent Portal
Use the official Parent Portal link from the district site for student-connected information.
💻 ClassLink
Use official ClassLink access instead of searching for random login pages.
🏫 School websites
Use school pages for campus news, events, staff links, and school-specific forms.
⚠️ Login caution
Do not enter parent or student credentials on pages not linked from the official district or school site.
Food and nutrition links, school meals and payment reminders
Forsyth County Schools links to Food & Nutrition resources from its official site. Families should use district-linked resources for menus, nutrition updates, meal payment tools, meal benefit information, and food service communication.
Meal information can change due to school-year updates, supply changes, federal program rules, school schedules, and menu substitutions. Families with allergy, medical, or special meal needs should use official district food and nutrition channels and contact the school or food service office for current guidance.
🍽️ Menus
Use official district food and nutrition links for current menu information.
💳 Payments
Use payment tools only when linked from official district pages.
⚕️ Medical needs
Contact official school or food service staff for allergy or medical meal needs.
🔁 Recheck updates
Menus and meal procedures can change during the school year.
Student records, inactive records, transcripts and base-school requests
The official Open Student Records Page says the FCS Information Systems Department maintains student record procedures for Forsyth County Schools. It says active students may have student records requests completed at the base school, while inactive students may request records through the listed options.
The district also explains that historical student records are maintained at the Technology Innovation and Training Building and that records are archived for FCS high school graduates and students who have withdrawn from the school system. Current students should usually start with their base school, while former students should follow the official inactive records process.
📄 Active students
Records requests may be completed at the base school.
🎓 Inactive students
Use the official inactive student records options listed by the district.
🏢 Archived records

🔐 Privacy warning

Open records requests and public documents through Forsyth County Schools
The official Open Records Request Page says the Communications Department is designated by the Superintendent to handle Open Records requests. Due to legal time constraints under Open Records Law, requests are forwarded to the Open Records Officer.
The page lists Michele Dugan, Open Records Officer, at 1120 Dahlonega Highway, Cumming, GA 30040. It also says requests may be made in writing or submitted via email to openrecords@forsyth.k12.ga.us.
Records disclaimer: Open Records requests can involve legal timelines, privacy rules, exemptions, redactions, and possible fees. This article is not legal advice. Use the official district Open Records page before submitting a request.

Because school websites, phone numbers, principals, programs, bell details, events, counseling links, and announcements can change, use the official school directory and school pages for campus-specific details. The district site separates elementary, middle, high, academies, directions, school administrators, and school/program start and end times.
