UPDATED CONTACT INFORMATION
If there have been any changes to your contact information, please contact the school office with the new information. This includes address, email, and phone numbers.
ILLNESS/MEDICATION
In the event that your child is sick, please do not send them to school. Your child must be free from fever for 24 hours before they may return.
It's allergy season!
If your student needs to take medication at school, the parent/guardian will need to transport the medication to the front office, along with a clinic form to be kept on file. Please do not send your student with the medication.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
In case of inclement weather, announcements will be made through the following methods:
- phone
- text
- local news
New Life Academy of Excellence will follow Gwinnett County Public Schools in school closures and delays.
Grade Promotion
Should a student not earn promotion to the next grade, he or she may have the opportunity to attend summer school in-person during the summer of 2023 to learn the AKS standards not mastered during the school year.
It is strongly recommended that students and parents/guardians use the GCPS Parent Portal to access class grades and maintain passing grades in all courses. Registration form below.
Early Dismissal ends at 2:30pm. You must enter the carpool line to pick up your student(s) after this time. Please request an appointment to meet with a teacher or administrator after 3:30pm if needed.
