Health Services

The Health Services program for Forsyth County Schools advances the well-being, academic success, and life-long achievement of students. To that end, school nurses facilitate positive student responses to normal development; promote health and safety; intervene with actual and potential health problems; provide case management services; and actively collaborate with others to build student and family capacity for adaptation, self management, self advocacy, and learning.

Forsyth County Schools are looking for substitute licensed nurses.

Are you a licensed RN or LPN? Would you like to work the same hours your children are in school? Our students will warm your heart, make you laugh and brighten your day. If interested, please contact Heidi Avila at 770-887-2461 ext. 202336 or havila@forsyth.k12.ga.us.

A big Thank You to Cumming First United Methodist Women for their two generous donations to support the vision needs of our students!

At the Celebration of Excellence the Georgia Highlands was recognized for their continued generosity towards the students at Forsyth County Schools. Geogia Highlands has offered over 280 students free vision, hearing and dental screenings which allow the students to be ready to start the school year on time. Georgia Highlands has offered these services to our students for two consecutive school years. Below are pictures from their very well deserved recognition!
