Bronco Bulletin May 22, 2024

Greetings Bronco Families,

We have so much to celebrate as we return from fall break. Congratulations to Coach Templeman, Mr. Taylor, and our cross-country program for a great inauguaral season. Both our boys' and girls' teams had tremendous success throughout their season. During the state competition held last weekend, our boys team placed 8th overall, and eighth-grade student, Noble Fink, placed 3rd overall. We are so proud of our student athletes. Another great highlight for Crews is the success of our students on district interim exams this week.

Keep up the great work of promoting student learning and engagement with your kiddos! Remember we are partners in your student’s educational journey. Please contact the school should you need support. Have a safe, fun weekend!

In service to others,

Principal Moffett

Staff, students, families, and Gwinnett community members are invited to review and provide input on proposed instructional resources for select grades and courses in Career and Technical Education and Health (Sex Education).

Before adopting instructional resources for classroom use, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) holds an extensive review. Multiple committees involving various stakeholder groups reviewed resources submitted by publishers for alignment with the school system’s Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) standards. During the ongoing review process, selected resources are piloted in GCPS classrooms. Data from the reviews and pilots will be considered in making adoption recommendations to the Board of Education in 2025.

This year’s virtual public review is open now through October 31. To begin, please visit this link.
