Gwinnett County Public Schools' Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program seeks to support each and every student as they work towards becoming bilingual, biliterate, and display the ability to successfully navigate multiple cultures in their lives and careers. During the information sessions, families can expect to learn about the program's expectations and curriculum. The program leaders will also be in attendance to answer any questions the attendees may have.

The next Rising Kindergarten Information Meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 29, 2025 from 6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

During this session, GCPS families of incoming kindergarten students will gain valuable insights into the Dual Language Immersion program at participating elementary schools. At the end of the meeting, families will have time to ask questions to the program leader in a formal Q&A session.

Join Meeting on April 29

What is a Spirit Night?

When a local business around Lilburn is willing to donate a portion of

their profit to OUR school, when we buy from them!

How do I participate?

Go to the business hosting the Spirit Night, order and say:

“We are here for Camp Creek Elementary School’s Spirit Night!”

(or use the code CAMPCREEK in Chick-fil-a’s mobile app!)

*Pay attention to the Weekly PAWS to see which Spirit Night is coming up.*

Thank You for supporting Camp Creek!
