Please check with your student to make sure they completed this process. The Google Form is found on the Academics Page of our web site in the bottom left corner of the page. Students can also make changes to their preferences over the next week by clicking on the form link and logging back into their accounts.

Removing a tardy using PBIS Jag Spots can be done by reimbursing 50 Jag Spot points to any of your teachers. If you are tardy and would like to use the Jag Spots that you have accrued to receive a "pass," notify your teacher immediately. You must not be more than 5 minutes late to utilize Jag Spots. This process must be completed during the same period/same day as tardy.

Parents of students enrolled in the Free and Reduced Meal Program must reapply for the program each school year. Applications for the 2022-2023 school year are still available on the Gwinnett County Public Schools website at https://bit.ly/GCPS-FRMeals. (You may change the language of the application in the upper right corner.) Students who qualify for Free and Reduced Meals often qualify for reduced fees for AP testing, ACT testing, SAT testing, and college applications.

We encourage parents of all eligible students to apply as soon as possible.
