Back-to-School Edition 2023
A Message from Mrs. Rhodes
Students at Puckett’s Mill kicked off the school year on August 2nd. We have had a great few first days! This year, our theme is “Building a Bridge”. We are going to use this theme as we work to connect our students through relationships with their peers and staff at Puckett’s Mill, as well as success in academics. Teachers utilized the time wisely to begin instruction while working on getting to know students, setting expectations and developing classroom procedures.
Curriculum Night is Tuesday, August 15th. We will hold two in-person sessions at 6:00 pm and 6:45 pm. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about the AKS that your student will be engaged in as well as the resources that teachers will be using along the way. We look forward to seeing you then.
As a reminder, morning car rider will close at 8:10am. Our instructional plan has our students engaged in learning beginning at 8:15am. After 8:10am, we ask that parents park their car and escort their student to the front lobby. Students arriving to the front lobby after 8:15am will need to be checked in by a parent. In order to expedite the morning and afternoon car rider line, we ask that drivers stay in their cars. Please practice with your child at home so that they can independently exit and enter the car. Students should always enter and exit their cars on the passenger side of the car.
I am looking forward to another safe, healthy and successful school year. I am honored to be part of supporting the students at Puckett’s Mill this year.
Regards,
Lisa Rhodes

The completed form should be sent to school with your student and turned in to their teacher when they arrive at school. Thank you for your help to ensure the safety of our students.
Free/Reduced Lunch Form
A new free/reduced form must be filed each school year. If you were on this program in previous years and plan to continue this year or if your situation has changed due to recent events, you will need to fill out an application. The online application is now available. You will only need to fill out one application for all your children - even if they attend different schools in the Gwinnett County Public School system. You can access the application here.
As the approval process can take up to 10 days, you will want to fill out the application early. This ensures your students will be approved prior to the start of school. You can click here to check the status of your application.
