GEMS Oversight Committee Applications

Gwinnett County Public Schools is inviting parents and guardians, community members, and school district employees to apply for the GEMS Oversight Committee, a group of community and school system representatives charged with the annual review of the Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum standards. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for Nov. 1, 2022. After the review, the committee recommends revisions and additions to the Superintendent for adoption by the Gwinnett County Board of Education. Committee members serve three-year terms. Those interested in serving should complete the online application no later than Aug. 12.

Right At School After School Program

Right at School is coming to Gwinnett County beginning with the 2022-2023 school year!  

The Right at School program runs from the afternoon bell until 6:00 pm.  Parent/guardians can work with Right at School to create flexible monthly schedules to support families' busy lives.  Families can choose afternoon options for one, two, three, four, or five days a week.  Drop-in care is also an option, allowing parents/guardians to pay only for the days care is needed.  With support from Gwinnett County Public Schools, families at our school who are in need of aftercare support can attend at a discounted rate and can attend for free after being approved for CAPS ( child care subsidy).

Every day, students will have a healthy snack, engage in dynamic fitness activities, student-driven projects, team building, leadership development, and have the opportunity to complete homework.  

Visit the Right at School website for more information.
