Reminder... Election Day, Tuesday, November 8, is a Digital Learning Day (DLD) for all students. On scheduled DLDs, students access lessons in eCLASS but do not have virtual class time with their teachers.

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

The district will deliver meals along all bus routes countywide. Families should expect buses to run their routes from approximately 10:45 a.m. to noon, beginning at the first stops on the route. Like meals served at school, these delivered meals are provided at no cost to the student under a federal waiver.

A message from our Gwinnett School Board Rep. Everton Blair.

Gwinnett County Public Schools leaders have made the decision to begin the 2020-21 school year in a 100% virtual setting, based on guidance from health officials. This change has been shared with GCPS families and staff members via SchoolMessenger. Watch for additional information about the return to digital learning for the school start on Aug. 12.
