Note: Our schedule is different from that of Forsyth County Schools. We do not close for Early Release, Scheduled Inclement Weather, or Professional Planning days. If Forsyth County Schools are closed due to inclement weather, state or national emergency, in most cases so are we. Sawnee School of the Arts will remain open for classes if Forsyth County shifts schools to a digital platform unless the state of Georgia mandates business closures. Updates on class cancellations will be emailed as well as posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages. In the event of prolonged closures, virtual classes will be offered via Zoom.
