The Impact of our Lunch Program!
278 students at bus stops and 136 students at our school!
Don't forget!
Thanks to our cafeteria workers, bus drivers and staff for coming in to help our students and families!
Dear parents and guardians,
As you begin to work with your student(s) at home on their Digital Learning Day assignments, we wanted to bring a few things to your attention that will help to ensure that you have full access. Please note the following as you work with your students at home:
Student Google Suite Accounts:
In order to access Google documents provided by teachers, students will need to be logged into their GCPS G-Suite (Google) account. Please ensure they are using a browser that does not have other active (logged in) Google accounts. As a reminder, students will not be able to access assignments with the use of their parent’s personal Google account. They must use their Gwinnett County account.
eCLASS Pages
Your child’s teacher will ensure that the assignments are located at the top of their pages. Please continue to follow the directions to access the instruction and standards based practice for each day. Teachers will ensure that this is appropriately updated each day.
Thank you for your continued dedication to your child’s education. We are hoping that the directions above will prove helpful as you continue to work with your students at home. Thank you also for your patience as our teachers work to confer with your child and give them the best quality education we can during this challenging time.
Additionally, lunch will be served every day from 11-1 and all you have to do is come to the school and stay in your cars through the bus lane. We will give you your child's lunch, but they have to be present. Tomorrow, the lunch will be hot dogs! You may also have them pick up their lunch at their designated bus stops from 11-12 daily. We are the only school serving in this capacity in the Sugar Hill and North Gwinnett clusters, so please spread the word.
We are here to support, so please don't hesitate to call the school. We are here until 3:45 PM every day!

Estimados padres y tutores,
A medida que comienza a realizar las asignaciones en casa del Día del Aprendizaje Digital con su(s) hijos, queríamos traer algunas cosas a su atención que le ayudarán a asegurarse de tener un acceso completo. Por favor tenga en cuenta lo siguiente mientras trabaja con sus hijos en casa:
Cuentas de Google Suite para estudiantes:
Para acceder a los documentos proporcionados por los profesores en Google, los alumnos deberán iniciar sesión en su cuenta de GCPS G-Suite (Google). Asegúrese de que estén utilizando un navegador que no tiene otras cuentas de Google activas (iniciadas). Como recordatorio, los alumnos no podrán acceder a las tareas con el uso de la cuenta personal de Google de sus padres. Deben usar su cuenta del condado de Gwinnett.
Páginas de eCLASS
El maestro de su hijo se asegurará de que las tareas se encuentren en la parte superior de sus páginas. Por favor, siga las instrucciones para acceder a las actividades y siga la práctica basada en estándares para cada día. Los maestros se asegurarán de que esto esté actualizado adecuadamente cada día.
Gracias por su continua dedicación a la educación de su hijo. Esperamos que las instrucciones anteriores resulten útiles a medida que continúe trabajando con sus hijos en casa. Gracias también por su paciencia mientras nuestros maestros trabajan para darle a su hijo la mejor educación de calidad que podamos durante este tiempo difícil.
Adicionalmente queremos informarle que el almuerzo se servirá todos los días de 11-1 pm, todo lo que tiene que hacer es venir a la escuela y permanecer en su auto en el carril del autobús. Le daremos el almuerzo de su hijo. Recuerde que solo se les dará si el niño está presente. ¡Mañana, el almuerzo es perros calientes! También podrán recoger el almuerzo en sus paradas de autobús designadas de 11 a 12 todos los días. Somos la única escuela que sirve en esta capacidad en los grupos de Sugar Hill y North Gwinnett, así que por favor corra la voz.
Estamos aquí para apoyar, así que por favor no dude en llamar a la escuela. ¡Estamos aquí hasta las 3:45 PM todos los días!

Parent Portal Account
The Parent Portal is a website that allows you to log in and see your child's information, such as attendance, grades, standardized test scores, etc.
If you need to register with the portal, please print and complete this registration form and turn it in to the main office. Along with the completed form, you are required to show a photo I.D. for verification.
Remember to Save Those Box Tops!
One easy way to support your school is through the Box Tops for Education collection. Send in Box Tops from products you purchase and have your child place in the wooden house near the cafeteria. This fundraiser has helped us earn hundreds of dollars for our school!
School Communication-Changes
We miss this feature, as it was a great way to communicate with parents and our community. However, we hope to keep you informed on our website, Principal's Desk, and social media pages.
We have received approval to utilize Class Dojo, so you will be getting correspondence from your child's teacher if they use this format for communication.

Friendly Reminders
- All visitors will be asked at the door who they are and their reason for entering the building by our front desk clerk. Always have your ID ready to show every time. Vanessa Camacho-Chapparo is our new front desk clerk and is happy to join our team. Please be patient with our new district requirement that ensures a stronger and safe environment for our school community.
- We will begin our morning announcements at 8:45 AM daily and ask that all car riders are in their seats ready to begin their day prior to 8:45 AM.
- We are going to use Mypaymentsplus for all of our monetary transactions besides small fundraisers throughout the year. Please make sure that you sign up for this with the information below.
- We are infusing social emotional learning with our PBIS discipline program. Every classroom will have morning meeting daily where they will greet one another, share something based on a focused topic, engage in an activity and end with a morning message. This 10 minute activity every day ties to our AKS, but also helps to start the day off positively. Ask your child about the amazing experience.
