Our Mission

Our mission is to Enrich, Enhance and Expand the thinking of youth through activities that promote self-love, self-acceptance and education.

Our Purpose

Beaming Brite Mentoring Inc is a 501(c)(3) non-profit in Dekalb and Gwinnett County, Georgia, that works within the surrounding communities to invest in local youth ages 12-16. These scholars are empowered to succeed through one-on-one mentoring, group activities and student scholarships. These services not only equip them to succeed with their educational goals, but also help them to move past their fears and rise to the next level of their perceived greatness. With Beaming Brite in their corner, our youth are able to achieve their dreams and are given the guidance and tools to better their lives and shine a light that will have a generational impact on their families and communities.

Program Overview

Our Goal is to help our youth discover their inner voice in order to harness self-belief in being effective communicators. Our purpose is to provide a safe environment and mentoring necessary to successfully bridge the perception gap between our youth and their goals in life. We will do this by having;

• Mentors/Mentees check-in bi-weekly

• Once a month FUN group activity centered around CORE Values

• Group discussion with guest speakers within the community

• Guidance in how to create SMART Goals

• Back to school events

Technology Tips

1. Students should charge their Chromebook every night.

2. Students should bring their charged Chromebook and the charger to school every day.

3. Students should keep their Chromebook in the case.

A parent or guardian must bring any / all medications to the school and fill out a medication administration form. Students are not allowed to carry any medications with them at school or on the bus. This includes any over the counter medication, for example; cough drops, Tylenol, etc. If you would like your child to have any OTC medication left in the clinic, you must bring to school with a completed medical authorization form.

To give us authorization to give your student their medication you will need to complete the Medication Authorization Form. You may print it, complete it, and bring it in or you can pick one up to complete in the clinic. A separate form is required for each individual medication.

If your student requires an inhaler and/or an Epi-pen you will need to complete the appropriate form.

For your student to be permitted to carry their inhaler and/or Epi-pen on their person, their physician will need to complete the section of our form advising us of their authorization. If the student will be carrying their inhaler and/or Epi-pen on their person, we ask that you also provide the clinic with a backup in case one is needed.

Please look at the upcoming dates and locations for added vaccine clinics for those 7th and 11th grade students still requiring their grade specific immunizations.

GCPS has partnered with GNR Public Health to offer required vaccinations for students attending 7th and 11th grade. Through this partnership, students can receive Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis vaccine) and MCV4 (adolescent meningococcal vaccine). In addition to these required vaccinations, GNR will have limited supplies of flu vaccine and COVID-19 vaccines.

Families will need to provide proof of insurance for Tdap, MCV4 and flu vaccines. Students 18 years of age and younger who do not have health insurance will be eligible for vaccines at no charge through our mobile clinics under the Vaccines for Children program. COVID-19 vaccinations are available regardless of insurance status.

All Clinics are from: 3p-6pm

As we enter the winter season, it is important to know what to expect from GCPS in case of inclement weather. If weather conditions pose a potential safety concern, the decision to cancel school or delay opening might be made.

It is more likely for school to be canceled in the early morning — due to dangerous road conditions that formed overnight — than for school to let out early because bad weather is moving in.

If bad weather causes school to be canceled or dismissed early, public announcements will be made on GCPS TV, on the school system’s website (www.gcpsk12.org), on Twitter and Facebook, through SchoolMessenger calls and optional texts, and via metro-Atlanta radio and television stations. Full-day cancellations usually are announced by 6 a.m.

GCPS TV can be found on the following Gwinnett County cable channels:

• Charter - Channel 180

• Comcast - Channel 24 or 26 (depending on location)

• Visit us on our GCPS TV app on Apple, Android, Amazon Fire, and Roku devices or view the live stream at GCPSTV.org
