We are preparing for the Georgia Milestones Assessment (EOGs) that began on April 22. The Milestones EOG is administered to 3rd – 5th grade students each spring. Third-fifth graders will take the English/Language Arts and Mathematics Assessments. Fifth graders also take a Science test. The results of these tests provide information about the student’s readiness for the next grade level.
It is important that students are at school and on time during the testing window. Testing begins promptly at 8:15 AM.
This test will be administered online. Students must bring their GCPS issued Chromebook to school each day.

Our school district adopted a new form of school-to-home communication called ParentSquare. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with your child’s school and Gwinnett County Public Schools.
ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to receive and send information, such as:
- Weather-related closings & delays
- School information
- Share pictures and files
- See calendar items
- Upcoming school activities
All district and school information will be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text via ParentSquare. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices). Please note that Mountain Park staff will communicate with parents via Class Dojo and email.
- No left turn into school off Brownlee Road
- Turn around in the cul-de-sac at the end of Brownlee Road
- Be patient - If you cannot be patient and go to the end of the line, the student can always ride the bus.
- Be nice and follow the rules.
- Remember that “park and walk” is NOT an option.
A GCPS school bus can transport every Mountain Park student.
