Wednesday, October 23rd and Thursday, October 24th are dedicated Early Dismissal Days for Gwinnett County Public Schools. Students will dismiss at 12:50 PM on these days.

We will continue to use PTC-Fast, an online platform for scheduling a conference time.
Here is a link to the sign-up form to schedule a meeting time with your child's teacher
The link is to a digital sign-up page that will provide instructions for selecting a teacher and signing up for a conference at time slots made available by the teacher: https://ptcfast.com/schools/Grayson_Elementary

How to use the Check-In System to request access into the Main Building
Brief Explainer Video (1:17) showing how parent visitors use the check-in system to enter the building as a visitor or to check-in or check-out their child.
Reminder: Please do not hold the door open for another visitor. Each visitor needs to be checked in individually. Thank you!
Grayson Car Rider Parents,
We are in need of your help during Car Rider pickup. Please have your Car Rider number visible in the car window each day for pickup. Please keep the number visible until your child enters the car. This will help us provide you with the best customer service as possible.
If you have lost or need another Car Rider number, please call the front office and we will provide you with one. This is for the safety of all our students. Thank you in advance for your support.
Grayson Parents,
Please keep in mind that for safety purposes refrain from dropping off students at the front gate during morning Car Rider. Cars are in motion, and we want to ensure that everyone is safe. It is best practices to drive your car through the car rider lane and have your child unload on the sidewalk in front of the school. Parking at City Hall and walking your child across the street is not safe and slows down the car rider line.
Thank you for your support in this manner. The safety and security of our students is our upmost concern.
