GCPS does not provide standard General Liability insurance coverage that would cover student injuries; therefore, GCPS provides parents an opportunity to purchase this accidental insurance policy through K&K insurance.

This insurance plan is not intended to replace your child’s health insurance coverage. Rather, this insurance can supplement any existing insurance policies, providing a specified amount of coverage if your student should be injured at school. (For greater protection, you may select the “full time” plan, offering 24-hour accident coverage.) To enroll, file a claim, or for more information about the plans, visit K & K Insurance at www.studentinsurance-kk.com.

If you have any other questions, please contact Zach Palmer, K&K Insurance, at 855-742-3135.

At Lanier Middle School, mornings are an excellent opportunity for students to receive extra support in their core subjects. With that in mind, for the 2024-2025 school year we will target each core content area on a specific day of the week. If your student needs additional support or needs assistance in a Connection class, they can see their content teacher to arrange an additional day that works with the teachers morning schedule. In order for students to attend morning tutoring, they need to arrive at 8:05 AM.

During the 2024–2025 school year (effective July 1), GCPS implemented fines for any lost or damaged Chromebooks and power cords.

Please take a moment to talk with your student about the importance of properly caring for the school-issued equipment. Keeping devices in good condition helps avoid unnecessary charges and ensures they’re ready for learning every day.

*A device could have multiple damaged components such as broken hinges as well as a cracked screen, this would result in a fine of $50. $25 for each damaged component.
