Upper School Back to School

Summer Reading: All Upper School students are expected to complete the summer reading texts by the first day of classes. Summer reading will be assessed in all grades during the first week of school. AP English has summer assignments in addition to the required reading. If you have any questions, please reach out to your teacher or the department chair.

Summer Math Work: In an effort to maintain all the knowledge and skills students have acquired this school year, we have prepared a series of exercises that will be hosted on the DeltaMath platform that we would like students to work on; click here and follow the link that corresponds to the course you will be taking next school year. You will be able to log in using your GFS email credentials. Please note that a gfs.org email address is needed to complete Middle and Upper School math assignments; these will be provided later in the summer, and we will update newly enrolled students and parents once they have the credentials to log in. If you have any questions please contact our department chair Mrs. Brown, at joanbrown@gfs.org.

Magnus Health
We continue to use Magnus Health, an online student medical record system (SMR), to store and access all of your child's medical health records and important vital health information for students in grades K-12. Due to privacy issues, Garrison Forest cannot upload your child's health forms onto Magnus. Every student enrolled for 2026-27 school year is required to have updated health records in Magnus. Please submit all necessary health forms for your student by July 1. Students who do not have updated, complete health forms by the first day of school will not be able to participate in classes. In addition, any Upper School athlete will not be able to participate in Preseason or athletics until this information is completed.
