Our school district will continue using ParentSquare for school-to-home communication. This unified communications platform is designed to keep parents and guardians informed and encourage greater engagement and connection with your child’s school and Gwinnett County Public Schools.
ParentSquare provides a safe way for district administrators, school principals, teachers, staff, and parents to receive and send information, such as:
- Weather-related closings & delays
- School and class information
- Share pictures and files
- See calendar items
- Upcoming class activities
District and school information will now be sent to your computer or phone via email and/or text via ParentSquare. For even more convenience, download the ParentSquare app (available for free for iOS and Android devices).
- No left turn into school off Brownlee Road
- Turn around in the cul-de-sac at the end of Brownlee Road
- Be patient - If you cannot be patient and go to the end of the line, the student can always ride the bus.
- Be nice and follow the rules.
- Remember that “park and walk” is NOT an option.
A GCPS school bus can transport every Mountain Park student.
Mountain Park ES will offer a birth to five program called Play2Learn. We will hold classes on Tuesdays. These classes will run from 9:00-10:30 and begin Tuesday, August 11. Contact Mona Brawley at mona.brawley@gcpsk12.org for questions.
