Assessment Plan Due by March 21 (reminder)
Silent Bus Call - Silent Transitions
Having said this, I realize we are trying to maximize our extended time, however, please make sure your students are packed up and seated with voices off for bus dismissal. The bell rings at 3:10 PM as a reminder to prepare for dismissal.
Thank you for help with this safety concern.
New starting date set for 2014-15 school year
Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) released a revised 2014-15 school calendar today that calls for the district to return to school on Tuesday, August 5—one day earlier than originally scheduled. The change in the calendar is due to the need for a student/teacher holiday on November 4, which is Election Day. This day was originally slated to be a school day; however, as this year’s election includes several major races, including contests for Governor and a vacated U.S. Senate seat, election traffic is likely to be high.

Professional Learning Logs
The link below will take you to the "instructional video" that I shared during our recent staff meeting should you need to review this as you complete your learning log.
Thanks for everything you do for our students. I have been very impressed at how we are using the extended time. You work hard every day to maximize student learning and I sincerely appreciate your efforts.
