Message From Mr. Pope
Dear Parents,
I hope you are having a great start to the summer holiday!
The GCPS Bookmobile will be at North Gwinnett Middle School on June 18th from 1-5 p.m. All students in North Gwinnett cluster schools are invited to select two new books for free! Come join us and select books to read this summer! The book giveaway will happen in the front of NGMS in the bus lanes. Social distancing guidelines will be followed.
Given ongoing concerns about COVID-19 and a thorough review of the current situation, the district has decided to not offer traditional face-to-face summer school for elementary and middle school students this year. Instead, GCPS will:
- Provide Summer Resources online for students and families — GCPS has compiled a number of online reading/language arts and mathematics resources for students and will make those resources available on a Summer Resources webpage. These resources will be helpful for students recommended for summer school, as well as all other students. The resources for students in grades K-12 will be available on the district website on Monday, June 15.
- Focus district and local school resources on planning for the fall — GCPS will launch a survey later this week to help inform the district’s plans. As shared, GCPS plans to begin school on August 5 either in the traditional face-to-face format or digitally. Much work is being done to prepare for these options, taking into account guidance from public health officials and state agencies.
Once the district has made the decision about how we will begin school, I will share details that are specific to Riverside. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Your principal,
Ben Pope
