Spring Instructional Preference Questionnaire

Beginning October 28, GCPS parents and guardians will make a decision about how their children will learn during second semester.  Like this semester, families may select either in-person instruction at their child's school or digital learning at home.  As students and families are more familiar with these two options and what they entail, the decisions families make will be for the entire semester.

The Spring Instructional Preference Questionnaire will be available in your Parent Portal account October 28 through 11:59 p.m. on November 29.

If you do not have a parent portal account, please go to the fill out the form below and bring it to the school.  An ID is required to sign up.

AKS at Home

You are an important partner with your child’s teacher, whether your child is learning at home or at school. To help you support your child’s learning, GCPS is launching a new initiative called AKS at Home. With this project, families will learn ways to help their child practice skills they are learning in class as part of the district’s Academic Knowledge and Skills (AKS) curriculum.

The Gwinnett County Board of Education approved the new start date of August 12, 2020 for the 2020-2021 school year.  The new calendar is available on the GCPS website.
