Adults should get at least 7 hours a night of sleep, but one-third of US adults report that they usually get less. Not getting enough sleep is linked with many chronic diseases and conditions, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and depression. Not getting enough sleep can also lead to motor vehicle crashes and mistakes at work.

CDC’s Sleep and Sleep Disorders Program in the Division of Population Health works to increase awareness about the need for good sleep and how to get enough.

On Thursday, MHSHS students got the chance to have one on one conversations with over 40 college and military representatives at the annual College Fair! It was a great opportunity for students to explore their post-high school education options. Thank you to all the colleges that attended! Go Pulse!

Congratulations to this month's winners!

Students should visit the eCLASS page or Google Classroom of each of their teachers to find their digital work for the day. Teachers will have specific office hours students can visit if they have questions.

To ensure that students have a nutritious lunch to fuel their learning, bus drivers will be on the road and at every bus stop to deliver meals prepared by the School Nutrition Program staff. Families can expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route on September 15. These delivered meals are provided at no cost to families and to anyone 18 years old and under.

Georgia's Dual Enrollment Program offers students the opportunity to experience college courses and begin their college academic career while still in high school and provides for standard tuition, mandatory fees and required books. The program is offered during all terms of the school year. If your student is interested in pursuing Dual Enrollment, please plan to attend the Dual Enrollment Informational Meeting on Thursday, September 28th at 6:00 PM via Zoom. This is a mandatory meeting for you and your student if they would like to participate during the spring semester. Please contact your student's counselor for additional information!

GCPS has transitioned from SchoolMessenger to ParentSquare for two-way communication between schools and families, and we encourage all families to download the app and create an account. With its user-friendly interface, ParentSquare offers seamless two-way communication through text, newsletters, posts, emergency alerts, and direct messaging. One of our favorite features is the integrated translation feature, which enables automatic translations for multilingual families.

If you experience an issue with accessing ParentVUE or StudentVUE mobile applications using Apple iOS, please download the most recent version from the Apple App Store.

The version of these apps will need to be 11.2 or higher.

To help students and families prepare for the 2023-24 school year, please review GCPS’ 2023-24 Virtual Back-to-School Backpack for Families below.
