ILLNESS
Here is a helpful guide for Reasons to keep your child home.
- Children with a temperature of 100.4 degrees F or higher should stay at home until there is no fever for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications.
- Any child who has vomited twice in 24 hours should stay home. Your child may return to school after 24 hours of no vomiting or fever.
In the event of an absence, please use our Online Absence Excuse Form, also found on the homepage of our school website.
If your child needs to take medication at school, you must drop the medication off at the school office with an Authorization Form. Please do not send your child in to school with the medication.
SCHOOL LUNCH
FREE/REDUCED LUNCH students must still order lunches through MyPaymentsPlus. This allows the Lunch Vendor to send the correct amount of food to the school!
Students without pre-orders will receive alternate meals.
❗ Meal order deadlines are every Wednesday at NOON. Meal orders cannot be placed once the deadline has passed.
CARPOOL
As a reminder, Elementary School afternoon carpool begins at 3:00pm, and Middle School afternoon carpool begins at 3:15pm.
BOTH schools end carpool at 3:30pm. Please be on time to pick up your child.
Thank you for your cooperation.
STUDENT CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT
Once morning carpool has ended at both schools, a parent/guardian MUST park and sign the student in at the front desk.
Student check-out ends at 2:00pm. After this time, parents/guardians must enter the carpool line. Late check-outs interfere with dismissal safety. Thank you for your understanding.
PARENTVUE
Have you logged into your ParentVue account? Access student grades, attendance records, and information through the portal or the app.
View your child's assessment scores on ParentVue! Look under "documents" in the menu to download your child's most recent iReady scores.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
In case of inclement weather, announcements will be made through the following methods:
- phone
- text
- local news
New Life Academy of Excellence will follow Gwinnett County Public Schools in school closures and delays.
Thank you parents and guardians for your help in placing timely orders for your child's meals at NLAE.
Remember, Free/Reduced Lunch students should still place meal orders with our vendor to ensure a meal is sent for your child.
New Life Academy of Excellence will utilize My Payments Plus for all activities and fees this school year.
❗❗ Important!
When registering, please choose our school, New Life Academy of Excellence, NOT Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). Accounts under GCPS will not transfer to New Life Academy of Excellence, and a refund will have to be processed by contacting GCPS.
