Play 2 Learn at HMS

What is Play 2 Learn?

The Play 2 Learn (P2L) program focuses on building the capacity of parents and caregivers to be their child's first teacher, as well as providing an opportunity for children to learn and play in a group setting.


Caregivers bring child(ren) (ages birth to five) to a 90-minute session each week.


Activities are modeled and facilitated by a certified staff member utilizing best practices for readiness skills in Communication, Language and Literacy, Cognitive Development, Social-Emotional Development, Approaches to Play and Learning, and Motor Skill Development.


Parents remain with the children for the entire session.


For more information about Play 2 Learn at Hull Middle School, please email Cindella Attucks, Early Learning teacher.

🥙 Café Gwinnett - A Message from Hull Middle School

This is a friendly reminder that students are not allowed to receive outside food/drink deliveries throughout the day. Make sure your student brings their lunch to school daily to maximize instructional time. Please limit lunch drop-offs as we are not able to guarantee timely delivery to your student. All students have the opportunity to receive a healthy, nutritious lunch through our school cafeteria.


Please see the monthly lunch calendar below to guide you and your student in his/her daily lunch decisions.

Thank you for your support in helping us limit lunch drop-offs!
