Thank you again to everyone for your support in our fundraiser! We are still in the process of calculating our totals, but, we can already tell, it was a huge success! The money you helped us raise will go a long way in offsetting the cost of our new track and mural in the media center. We are incredibly grateful for all of your help!
Annual AKS Review
Annual AKS review runs October 16–31
The annual review of the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum begins October 16. Through the review process, staff, parents, and community members can give feedback on new AKS (Academic Knowledge and Skills) standards developed to align with the state's Common Core Georgia Performance Standards (CCGPS) as well as AKS for new courses. This online review is addressing AKS for a handful of high school mathematics and science courses, 10 fine arts courses, 60 PE and health courses, and nearly 100 career and technical education courses. Input on these new courses will be given via an online survey. In addition, if there is an AKS you would like to see added, deleted, or revised, please complete the AKS Review Form. This form is available on the Communications Database and will be posted online Oct. 20. Please submit your AKS Review Form via courier to the Office of Curriculum Development at the Instructional Support Center or email it to AKS_Review@gwinnett.k12.ga.us by Oct. 31. Curriculum directors will review suggestions and provide comments. On November 18, the GEMS Oversight Committee will review the suggestions and curriculum director comments before making recommendations to the Superintendent for adoption by the Gwinnett County Board of Education. Following adoption, feedback will be provided to staff members who made suggestions.
The surveys are live and can be accessed using the following:
