Students will also begin preparing for our upcoming field trip in April to GCPS’ Junior Achievement Biztown at the Discovery Center. Students will be working on JA Biztown economy and finance lessons through the month of March.

We are currently seeing an increase in inappropriate social media posts and have received reports of students “airdropping”/sharing videos. Please speak to your child about Shiloh’s cellphone policy which includes having phones in backpacks for the duration of the day. Use the attached link from Common Sense Media to assist with conversations regarding responsible cellphone use.

In the gym, the students are treated to Fitness Friday circuit training sessions where they learn about the benefits of physical activity and leading a healthy lifestyle.

Technology Tips

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

3. Students should keep their Chromebook in the case.

4. You can scan QR codes with your Chromebook camera! Open your camera app through the app launcher, select scan, and then select QR code.

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.

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

You can access current or potential weather hazards for north and central Georgia here.
