School Highlights

The following school highlights showcase how Sycamore Elementary School is fulfilling Gwinnett County Public School's four strategic priorities of Empathy, Equity, Effectiveness, and Excellence. Visit the School Profile Dashboard to find more detailed data on our school. 

  • Our Parent Center was active, connecting our school and community. We had Little Learners Academy and Play 2 Learn. We introduced the Family Engagement Breakfast Parent Workshop model. Parents enjoyed breakfast with their children and learned about resources to help support their children academically. We hosted one Fall semester with our Counselors and one Spring Semester with the ML team.
  • Sycamore Elementary implemented daily SEL time utilizing a school-wide framework comprising PBIS lesson delivery, community building circles, Navigate 360 student lessons, and a Character Strong curriculum.
  • Our multilingual learners wildly succeeded this year, with many students exiting the program. We attribute this accomplishment to the rigorous instruction and differentiation provided daily in the classrooms.
  • All of the Sycamore and elementary cluster students participated in community field trips. This consisted of learning experiences connected to the AKS for each grade level across the Sugar Hill Community. The experiences included the Community Garden, visiting the local Mayor and government offices, watching a high school play, and studying microorganisms on Lake Lanier.
  • Sycamore Elementary had First Lego League (FLL) robotics teams in fourth and fifth grade. Through the global robotics program, FLL students receive exciting hands-on learning experiences and gain real-world problem-solving skills.
  • All students at Sycamore Elementary participated in Career Day. Students learned about many different professions from current practitioners.
  • Sycamore Elementary offers students various extracurricular activities through Clubs for All. Clubs for All is held monthly during the school day, allowing 100% of students to participate in one extracurricular activity. Sponsored by teachers and staff, Clubs for All offers students a variety of interest-based choice clubs, such as yoga, fishing, camping, dessert design, LEGO, and more. Clubs for All extends the AKS curriculum and supports Social and Emotional Learning.
  • Our local All Pro Dad’s Chapter continued to see an increase in participation throughout the year. Families were encouraged to come monthly to spend quality time together, playing games and working cooperatively.
  • Sycamore Elementary PTA continued to grow this year. Participation was impressive, and four main events were held this year. These included a Back to School Bash, Fall Festival, Sweetheart Dance, and Movie Night. Several spirit nights were also held throughout the year.
  • Sycamore Elementary provides opportunities and access for its students to be challenged via rigorous courses such as Math enrichment and Thinking Skills. Such courses allow students to employ their creative and critical thinking skills. After participating in these courses, many of these students are referred and evaluated for the gifted and talented program.
