The Blueprint in Action focus for the months of April and May is Safe and Welcoming Schools. During these months we will be spotlighting how our schools are prioritizing safety, and welcoming students and families.

South Gwinnett High School has initiated a movement to promote school safety that extends beyond the classroom. South Gwinnett HS staff are stationed throughout the school's hallways to create an environment of student well-being, engagement, and positive behavior.

Peer leaders are an important part of safe and welcoming schools. Catch up on those stories and others in Our Blueprint in Action.

Thank you to everyone who attended and engaged in our five Area Board and Town Hall Meetings over the last two weeks. We’re grateful for your participation and your thoughtful questions. More than 350 questions have been answered through these events, helping foster open, two-way communication between the community, district leaders, and the Board of Education. As noted on the event webpages, a few responses will be posted this Friday, May 2 and we thank you for your patience. We appreciate your continued involvement, and encourage you to stay connected and look for future opportunities to share feedback and engage in meaningful conversations with us.
