Handbook Information for Students and Families and Student Behavior Conduct Code

Welcome to the 2025-26 School Year!

Dear Gwinnett County Public Schools Students and Families,

Welcome to the 2025-26 School Year at Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS)! Whether you are a returning student, a first-time student, or have just moved to Gwinnett County, we are excited to welcome you to GCPS.

I hope you have the opportunity to rest, enjoy family and friends this summer, and that you are ready for a terrific school year full of learning and connections.

The 2025-26 Handbook Information for Students & Families is being provided virtually, and the web pages linked below contain critical information to support student and family success throughout the school year. This information has been updated to align with our strategic plan and changes in state and federal laws that impact our school system for the 2025-26 school year. Click on the links to view important information about each section of the GCPS Handbook for guidance, programs, procedures, policies, and resources for all GCPS students and families. You can also use the search feature below to find something specific within the Handbook.

We look forward to a great year, and the best way to accomplish this is by working together. Please review the information provided on our website and in emails and newsletters from the district and your child's school, and contact your student's teacher or principal when you have questions or concerns.
