Curriculum Night
Curriculum Night was held on Thursday, August 29th. We welcomed many parents and students. Detailed information was shared about Gwinnett County's AKS, grade specific learning opportunities, assessments, and schoolwide expectations. Parents had access to the computer lab where they could learn about eClass, register for MyPaymentsPlus, and complete the free/reduced lunch application.
We appreciate the time that parents took to join us at Corley to talk about teaching and learning. The home-school connection is crucial to student success!
SCHOOL MESSENGER UPDATE (Callouts)
Due to some recent text/call regulation changes by the FCC, Gwinnett County Public Schools is no longer able to use text/call messaging services to distribute information to parents. This includes texts and "robo calls" from GCPS School Messenger as well as third party text reminders like Remind.
At this time, please ensure we have an email address on file that you regularly check. We will use weekly eNews Patriot Post, email, our school website, eClass, Class DoJo as ways to communicate.

As a reminder, free/reduced lunch applications must be filled out each school year. To re-apply or find out if your student is eligible for free/reduced lunch, please visit: https://www.schoollunchapp.com/
