As part of Gwinnett County Public Schools’ family engagement initiative, the school district seeks to empower parents with tools that allow them to help their children at home. Our AKS @ Home project provides math and language arts resources, for grades K-5, to support families so that they truly are partners in their children’s learning. This support is available for families to access in the format that fits them and their schedule best. They can view recorded information at a time that best fits their schedule, or gain tips and suggestions on how to best help their students through tip sheets on a wide variety of topics. Please, follow the links below to have access to the tools we provide.

Parents please be advised of the district assessments below.

We have a table set out in the lobby with all of our Lost & Found items from this semester. Please remind your child to stop by and look for any missing items. Parents are welcome to drop in and look at the table as well.

As a reminder, it's very important to label jackets, lunchboxes, and other items with the student's first and last name. This way we can get items back to the student if it is misplaced.

We cannot respond to messages on this thread.

Next week we will open up our annual Holiday Hall for students to finish up any last minute shopping they may have left! Since this is for students only, we encourage you to discuss with your child who might be on on their holiday shopping list before they come in to the store. All items are priced at $1, $2, and $3, with a few big ticket items priced at $5. (Cash or coins only.)

On Asarah B'Tevet, the 10th day of the Jewish month of Tevet, in the year 3336 from Creation (425 BCE), the armies of the Babylonian emperor Nebuchadnezzar laid siege to Jerusalem. Asarah B'Tevet (this year, December 14, 2021) is observed as a day of fasting, mourning and repentance.

Bill of Rights Day recognizes the importance of the first 10 amendments to the US Constitution passed by Congress on September 25, 1789.
