Attendance:
Being in school all day, every day, helps your child get the most out of middle school. Encourage good attendance with these ideas:
- Point out there's no substitute for being in class. Your child needs to be present to hear teachers explain concepts, to participate in group projects and class discussions, and to ask questions.
- Schedule doctor, dentist, and orthodontist appointments for before school or after school hours whenever possible.
- It will be easier for your child to get up on time for school if he has had at least nine hours of sleep.
- Set a reasonable bed time, and make sure they put away electronic devices so they aren't tempted to check messages or play games.
It’s not too late to Swim with your Middle School Swim Team.
We are a feeder program for Norcross High School providing a competitive swim program for middle school students in the Norcross Cluster where they compete with other area middle schools.
Practices are at West Gwinnett Aquatic Center starting mid October through the end of January 2019. Tuesday and Thursdays – 7:00 am to 8:30 am and Sunday from 5-6pm. Come to one of the practices to try us out!
COME JOIN THE NORCROSS JUNIOR DEVIL SWIM TEAM AND SHOW YOUR PINCKNEYVILLE SPIRIT!
