GCPS to provide meals free of charge to students and to children 18 and younger
Last week, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) granted additional waiver extensions that allow school districts to offer meals at no charge through December 31 through the Seamless Summer Option (SSO). This extension, paired with guidance received from the Georgia Department of Education, will allow Gwinnett County Public Schools to offer meals at no charge at school sites to all students. These meals are provided at no cost to the individual through the federal School Nutrition Program.
Students Attending School In-Person
Those attending school in-person will receive meals free-of-charge during their school’s scheduled meal times.
Curbside Pick-up for Digital Learners
Digital learners may pick up meals through the curbside pick-up programs at Brookwood Elementary, Monday through Thursday, between 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. Each day’s pick-up includes both breakfast and lunch with Thursday’s pick-up including meals for Friday.
Curbside Pick-up for Others 18 Years of Age or Younger:
As part of the Seamless Summer Option, curbside pick-up meals also will be available at no charge to anyone 18 years of age or younger, even to children who are not a GCPS student. Please check with your local school for curbside pick-up times and the location of the pick-up program. Individuals will not be allowed to enter the school to pick up or eat meals.
Gwinnett County Public Schools encourages families who are eligible for the Free & Reduced Meal Program to complete the annual application to ensure meal benefits continue when this waiver expires. The application is available on the GCPS website or at https://www.nlappscloud.com/.

A Message from the Art Room
Dear Brookwood Families,
Due to our Corona virus protocols when it comes to materials, students are limited to only the supplies that they bring to art class this year. Without requiring you the burden of extra purchases, I wanted to provide some ideas that will make art more exciting and meaningful for your children this year. Area stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby and Walmart have these supplies as does Amazon. If you choose to add these materials, please have your child keep them in his or her supply box or gallon Zipzoc with their name and Classroom teacher's name written on it. Thank you for supporting the Fine Arts program at Brookwood Elementary! We're going to CREATE a great year!
Thank you,
Shea Cunningham, Art Specialist
