A Message from the Principal
Greetings Crews Community,
It was another great week at Crews. Many thanks to our families for engaging in early release conferences. Special shout out to our PTSA volunteers for covering teachers' lunch duties this week. It meant the world to them. Knowing that your children mean the world to us, please continue to monitor their course performance and engagement.
As we look to next week, expect rigorous instruction. Plus, help your Bronco enjoy our school spirit week and annual Bronco Fun Day. Please check out the rest of this newsletter and our social media platforms for more information. Have a great weekend Bronco Nation!
In service to others,

A. Instructional Resources Public Review Opportunity
Staff, students, families, and Gwinnett community members are invited to review and provide input on proposed instructional resources for select grades and courses in Career and Technical Education and Health (Sex Education).
Before adopting instructional resources for classroom use, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) holds an extensive review. Multiple committees involving various stakeholder groups reviewed resources submitted by publishers for alignment with the school system’s Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) standards. During the ongoing review process, selected resources are piloted in GCPS classrooms. Data from the reviews and pilots will be considered in making adoption recommendations to the Board of Education in 2025.
This year’s virtual public review is open now through October 31. To begin, please visit this link.
