PAGE (Parents and Advocates for Gifted Education) is a not for profit, community-based advocacy group. See their monthly newsletter for useful resources.
Partners for the Advancement of Gifted Education (PAGE)
Foundations and Purposes
1---PAGE depends on parent-school partnerships that stem from active and on-going involvement of parents with teachers.
2---PAGE seeks to foster student growth at school and at home by tapping community resources, both human and financial.
3---PAGE helps families of gifted students identify and utilize educational resources and opportunities, in school and out. This is especially critical for families which are under-represented in gifted and advanced placements due to economic disadvantage or racial disparity.
4---PAGE encourages families of gifted students to be informed about learning opportunities appropriate for their children, whether those opportunities are found at school, elsewhere in the community, or on-line. PAGE also focuses on orienting new students and their parents to AIG or HAG.
5---PAGE promotes equity for all gifted students by collaborating with community-based organizations, businesses, and foundations in order to enable every student to reach her/his potential.
*Become a member of Forsyth County PAGE today by emailing forsythcopage@gmail.com.
We don’t believe advocacy and resources for the gifted should cost money, so membership is free. We appreciate and accept donations that will assist us in providing our community with events such as speakers, monthly newsletters, and other educational opportunities.
When you become a member of Forsyth County PAGE…
o You will receive invitations to events such as speakers that are members-only.
o You will have access to local and national resources.
o Most Importantly- It shows your collaboration with other parents of gifted children and your support for teachers of the gifted in your child's school.

Good Afternoon. Due to a shortage of drivers, Bus 924 (Green Oaks Court and Fanning Oaks Drive) and Bus 496 (Griffith/Konnoak Magnet Stop) will not run today. WS/FCS Transportation is working to find coverage but the bus may be delayed up to 90 minutes. We are asking parents to pick their students up this afternoon who ride Bus 924 or Bus 496 to reduce wait times. Thank You.
Due to many high school graduations happening today, we are experiencing a shortage in bus drivers. Our transportation department is working to find a driver for Bus #223. Unfortunately, if Bus #223 is unable to drive their regular route, it will be up to 60 minutes later than the scheduled time when they arrive. If possible, we encourage families to bring students to school. We apologize for this inconvenience. If families can transport their child, it would greatly help reduce time away from school. Thank you again for all your support and patience as we finish the school year.
