The Georgia Parent Survey is designed to give parents an opportunity to share input with the Georgia Department of Education. It contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet.

The data parents provide by completing this survey will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis. Individual data results from the Georgia Parent Survey will not be available to system or school personnel or the public and will not be posted online. Please provide your voice for Gwinnett County Public Schools by clicking the link below and completing the survey.

As temperatures drop and winter approaches, we would like to remind everyone of our dress code policy. To ensure the safety and security of all individuals within the building, no hats, hoods, or headwear are allowed. This helps us to identify each person in the building if necessary. Additionally, blankets or pillows cannot be used during school hours. We ask that you wear an extra layer of clothing or bring a jacket for chilly mornings or classrooms.

Urgent Messages can be delivered to the Attendance Office.

The school does not accept flowers, balloons and other non-school items for delivery to students. No outside food is allowed except packed lunches from home. That means... NO DELIVERIES OF FOOD ANYWHERE ON CAMPUS FROM PARENTS OR DELIVERY SERVICES.

Please remember YOU are responsible for your attendance.

In the attendance office we want to make the process of checking your student out as seamless as possible. We can do this by following these simple steps:

• Prior to 7:15 am, the student should provide the Attendance Office with a note from the parent or guardian stating the date, parent contact number, the time requested for the check-out, and the reason.
• The student's absence due to checking out will only be excused if it meets one of the approved reasons(please see the GCPS Handbook).
• The student is then provided with a check-out pass to be shown to the classroom teacher at the time of the check-out. This pass should be brought to the Attendance Office to complete the checkout process.
• If the parent cannot be contacted, the student may not be allowed to check out. A parent or guardian must be contacted to grant permission before a student is allowed to leave campus. Students will only be dismissed to the parent or guardian or the emergency contact listed in the Parent Portal. Students who leave campus without following the check-out procedures will be considered AWOL from school and disciplined accordingly.
• Or a parent must come in and show ID to check-out student.
• For security reasons, we do not permit call-in or email parent check-outs. If a student is sick or has an emergency, the school clinic or attendance office will contact a parent/guardian or emergency contact. Students will only be released to parents/guardians, or emergency contacts that are listed on their account.
