Principal's Perch: by Todd Langley
It was a wonderful week at Alcova! Just a reminder that early voting opens up on October 12th for the November 3rd E-SPLOST election. If you have any questions about the election please visit the Alcova website or the Gwinnett County Public Schools website for more information.
Don't forget we will be out of school on Monday. We are looking forward to seeing your students back on Tuesday October 13th. The weather is changing so take an opportunity to have your students check the lost and found at Alcova. We will donate the items from lost and found 4 times this year. The first donation will occur after the Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy your weekend and as always it is a pleasure to serve this community.
