Thank you!     
Thank you! 
Thank you! 


Thank you teachers and school staff for putting in the extra work to seamlessly continue our school year digitally at home!  Our county is making sure that meals make it out to families that need them.  We live in a place full of special people who give and work above and beyond.  It's no easy task and we see and value your extra effort!

Thank you parents and families for supporting your kids. You not only get to parent your kids through a difficult time, but now act as a teacher's assistant in addition to other work and family responsibilities that need to be fullfilled.  This is not easy but together we can do hard things!  


​​Digital Learning Days
Teachers will post assignments to student eCLASS pages by 9:00 AM each day.  For log-in instructions, please click the attached link.  For additional information about Digital Learning Days CLICK HERE.  If you have questions about Digital Learning Days, please e-mail your child's teacher.  Please check our school website for any future updates.

Gwinnett County Public Schools is continuing to use Digital Learning Days to deliver instruction to students during the COVID-19 school closures. As part of the school district’s support during Digital Learning, student meals are available for pick up at 67 school sites and by delivery at school bus stops in specific clusters. Beginning Tuesday, April 7, the meal service will expand to include both breakfast and lunch items distributed at the same time. The pick-up at school sites takes place between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. every school day. Gwinnett school buses make stops at regular bus stops between 11 a.m. and noon in designated clusters. It is important to remember that in order to receive a meal, the child must be present at the school site or at the bus stop when the bus arrives. These meals are available at no cost to anyone 18 years of age or younger, no matter which school a child attends. A list of school sites offering meals for pick up, and the clusters and schools where delivery is provided, can be found on the district website.
Remember that we all play a role in stopping the spread of COVID-19. Wash your hands frequently, stay home and away from others if you are ill, and practice social distancing. Keep safe and stay well.
