Back-to-School Guide
Welcome to the 2025-26 school year! To help students and families find the information and resources they need to have a successful school year, Gwinnett County Public Schools created the GCPS Back-to-School Guide. Find everything you need for a great year of learning!
What Is E-SPLOST?
You may hear more this fall about something called E-SPLOST, but what is it? E-SPLOST stands for Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax. It’s a one-cent sales tax that helps fund school buildings, buses, classroom technology, safety upgrades, and more.
This November, Gwinnett voters will decide whether to continue this one-cent sales tax. E-SPLOST has been in place since 1997 and helps make sure GCPS schools stay modern, safe, and ready for students. Visit our website for more details on our Capital Plan and for more information about how we use E-SPLOST funds in GCPS.

More ways to stay informed and involved...
Attend your school's Open House
Your school's scheduled Open House is a great time to visit with your student. Meeting teachers and support staff, and helping your student learn their way around the school will get the school year off to a smooth start.
Get involved in your Local School Council
Plan to join your Local School Council. Families are welcome to share their voices and get involved with volunteer opportunities. Local School Councils meet four or more times per year in each learning community.
Community members can join ParentSquare to receive district messages
Our GCPS Community Groups on ParentSquare connect members of the community who do not have students active in the district with news and updates from GCPS. Students, staff, and families can also opt-in to our community groups based on their interest. Learn more about Community Groups.
