Principal's Message Principal's Message

Happy Spring to all our families and community partners! Coming up this month, we look forward to many fun events. First, our PTA sponsered Movie Night will be on March 24th. Our Day of Awesomeness and Field Day will be held on March 31st, where all students will celebrate the end of our school fundraiser. I'm excited to share the funds raised will be used to help purchase a digital marque for our entrance. Additionally, teachers will have a full planning day to work with their colleagues on lesson plans and visit each other's classrooms during peer observations. These critical planning days are made possible with our Title One funds. We pride ourselves on the meaningful collaboration between our teachers to create a supportive, acadimically challenging environment for students. As always, we invite our parents in to volunteer in the classroom or enjoy lunch with your child. I look forward to continuing to support all our students, staff, and families as we move into the last few months of the school year.


Warmly,


Dr. Scarborough

COVID-19 Surveillance Testing COVID-19 Surveillance Testing

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) is continuing its efforts to keep everyone in our schools and students and staff safe by making COVID-19 Surveillance Testing available to students and staff. In January of 2022, the district began piloting g in the Norcross Cluster. GCPS has since then expanded the program, offering this testing opportunity to students and staff in the Archer, Berkmar, Collins Hill, Dacula, Duluth, Grayson, Lanier, Norcross, and South Gwinnett clusters.


The GCPS COVID surveillance testing program is currently only available to students and staff members in the Archer, Berkmar, Collins Hill, Dacula, Duluth, Grayson, Lanier, Norcross, and South Gwinnett clusters. If you are a current student or employee in one of these clusters and are interested in participating in this pilot, click the link below.

If you signed up for the program last year, you would not need to complete the sign-up again.


Surveillance testing involves regular testing for the presence of COVID-19 in individuals in the school setting who do not have symptoms. Surveillance testing will allow GCPS to test, receive test results (within 24 hours), and notify individuals of a clin­ically significant reading. By participating, students and staff members can help to minimize the spread of the virus within our schools, which benefits us all.



Although participation in surveillance testing is not required for students or staff members, it is strongly encouraged. Participation will contribute to the success of this mitigation strategy and our schools’ ability to limit the spread of COVID and keep students learning in person.

Learn more about COVID testing by reviewing our frequently asked questions, located on the right side of this web page.
