We are so proud to celebrate Karlee Rogers as this year’s REACH (Realizing Educational Achievement Can Happen) Scholar for Gwinnett County Public Schools! This incredible program supports students from 8th grade through high school graduation, providing mentorship, academic coaching, and opportunities to grow in college and career readiness, leadership, and life skills.
The Battle is On!
In September, our students went head-to-head for the Best Attendance title — and our 6th graders came out on top! They celebrated their victory with popsicles at lunch!
Now it’s October, and the competition has shifted to The Battle of the Best Behavior! Right now, 7th grade is in the lead—but it’s still anyone’s game! Who will claim the FUN PRIZE this month?
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened at your house?
The PSAT 8/9 is a standardized test that serves as an introduction to the SAT Suite of Assessments, which includes the PSAT/NMSQT and the SAT. It is specifically designed for 8th and 9th graders.
What is the purpose?
Baseline Data: It provides a baseline measurement of your child's college and career readiness skills in reading, writing and language, and math.
Skill Development: The scores help students, parents, and teachers identify academic areas where the student is currently strong and areas where they may need more focus to prepare for high school coursework and future college entrance exams.
Content: The test covers skills your child is already learning in school. No special preparation is needed, though reviewing the test structure can be helpful.
Not for College Admission: Scores are not used for college admissions or scholarships; the test's sole purpose is diagnostic and developmental.
This tool is meant to help your 8th grader transition successfully into high school and begin thinking about their academic path forward.
It is hard to believe, but at the 12 week mark of this semester. Teachers will be sending home the final progress report for the 1st semester. Please make sure you check your email and or Parent Square and then review with your child.
