Governor Kemp has declared a State of Emergency for all 159 counties in Georgia in response to impending Hurricane Helene. In an abundance of caution, Gwinnett County Public Schools has made the following decisions to support the safety and well-being of our school community:

• On Friday, September 27, 2024, Gwinnett County Public Schools will be closed, all after-school activities are canceled. Twelve-month staff will work from home to complete essential tasks.
  

• All GCPS activities and events on Saturday, September 28, are canceled.

We are rescheduling this weekend's Step Team & Dance Car Wash. Watch this location for new dates in the future.

Need a nice polo shirt? Perhaps a jacket. Check out the new Summerour Athletics Spirit Store. Order online, ships directly to your door. Order by October 7.

We had a great first 3 days of Spirit Week before the weather went wild. Here are a few pics of OUR Spirit week: Monday, Country vs. Country Club; Tuesday, Twins; Wednesday, Swap: teachers dress like kids and kids dress like teachers.

$20 for a physical is about as cheap as they come. All Norcross cluster students who play (or might play) a sport this year are welcome to come.

The Reflections program is a way to showcase your artistic abilities. There will be a winner boy and girl from each grade that will go on to compete for our school against the other schools in our district.

This year 's theme is accepting imperfections and with the climate that we're in now, I think that showcasing that it's okay to not be perfect is just what these kids need.

The information is also on our PTA website: SummerourourPTA.com

Compete in: dance choreography, film production, music production, visual arts, photography and literature!

You can receive ParentSquare message notifications 3 ways: email, text, or in the phone app. The GCPS website has a page that explains how to setup or change your notifications.
