Dear Parent/Legal Guardian,

Welcome to the 2025-2026 Hall County School District school year! To streamline parent signatures, we have combined most beginning of year forms into one form. Please follow pertinent links and read and acknowledge the spaces in each section.

  1. COMPULSORY EDUCATION NOTIFICATION:

The Hall County School System is required by law to inform you of the following laws and consequences. The school must keep a signed copy of this form on file for one school year. To read the Compulsory Education Notification, follow this link: https://www.hallco.org/web/compulsory-education-notification-to-parents/

  • C.G.A. 20-2-690.1 – Compulsory Education

  1. DIGITAL MEDIA:

 It is the practice of the Hall County School System to recognize student achievement and accomplishments. I give permission for photographs and exemplary classroom projects to be posted on the school system’s web page, including local school sites, which can be accessed online at http://www.hallco.org. In posting a photograph or exemplary classroom projects of a student, the school system is careful not to associate a student’s full name in such a way that it can be identified with the photograph of the student.

 Please Select YES/NO:

  • YES: I GIVE PERMISSION for my child to be photographed/videotaped as outlined in the “Digital Media” section above
  • NO: I DO NOT GIVE PERMISSION for my child to be photographed/videotaped as outlined in the “Digital Media” section above

In Georgia, scoliosis screenings are required by law. To read the Scoliosis Screening Program Refusal Form, follow this link: https://www.hallco.org/web/scoliosis-screening-program/

 Please Select:

  • Do not want my child to be screened: I do not want my child to be screened for scoliosis by the school, and I plan to have him/her screened by another healthcare provider (Please share results of this evaluation with the school using form 4400). https://www.hallco.org/web/new-year-scoliosis-update/
