A Note from Mrs. Lovejoy in the Media Center
Friday, May 3rd, we were lucky enough to have the GCPS Book Mobile come out and visit us! With the support of our school PTA and Admin team every single student got to board the bus and pick a free book! We felt like this was a great way to kick off the idea of sailing into summer with a good book...and sparking the goal of continuing to read through the summer!
We will kick off our Summer Reading Program on May 23rd, the first day of summer for students! More information to come!
Speaking of the Book Mobile, the main reason for the 5K Saturday is to raise money so we can continue putting books in the hands of kids! It is not too late to sign up!!! We will be coming around to neighborhoods and complexes over the summer with our Book Mobiles and/ a new Book Mobile van too! Hope to see you Saturday morning...the theme is STAR Wars...May the 4th be With You!
Please Return All Library Books
All library books need to be returned to the Media Center by May 17th. If your student has received a notice of an outstanding library book, your help in locating them is greatly appreciated.
From the Clinic...
Parents of students with medications at school will need to pick up the medication prior to the end of the school year. If we do not receive instructions from you before the end of the school year, we will dispose of the medications accordingly. Please remember students are not allowed to transport medication. You can reach the clinic at 770-338-4683 for any questions or concerns.
Bragging on our Staff!

Your feedback on the survey also helps our school district better partner with you to help your child be successful. You are receiving this request as the parent/guardian of a student receiving services in Gwinnett County.
The survey is available online in English and Spanish and can be accessed on the Georgia Department of Education website. You may use the following direct link to access the survey.
