Spring Panorama Survey

Did you know that the Panorama survey allows us to capture and analyze feedback from all our stakeholders? The survey informs us about factors that contribute to positive and safe learning environments from the perspectives of students, teachers, staff, and families. Thank you to all who participated in this bi-annual climate survey. Your voices help to make WS/FCS a more informed place to learn, work, and grow.

Hidden in Plain Sight April 10 6:30 - 7:30 PM

Join us at West Forsyth High School for an opportunity to learn more about substance trends, paraphernalia, and how to have substance use conversations with your child. Please share this learning opportunity with your school communities. As a note, these conversations are also relevant to elementary families so that parents/guardians can gain information proactively before their children reach adolescence.

Please reach out to Sydney Carroll, Substance Use and Safety Specialist, for more information.
