The safety of our students is a priority to us here at GOC. Please be sure to take all precautions when dropping off and picking up students from GOC. 

Arrival drop-off begins promptly at 8:45 a.m. for weekly CORE and Learning Labs. Please do not drop your student off prior to this time unless they have a pre-arranged meeting or appointment with a faculty or staff member. Dismissal for students in grades 4-8 will begin promptly at 12:25 p.m. and dismissal for students in grades 9-12 will begin at 12:10 p.m. Students must be picked up 15 minutes after on-site labs unless they are participating in a pre-approved campus activity.

Parents, please be mindful, Gwinnett Online Campus does not have available staff to monitor student's prior to 8:45 a.m. or after on-campus labs/scheduled campus activities.     

All students will arrive and be dismissed through the front doors. Hi Hope Road or Hurricane Shoals Road should never be blocked with cars waiting to pull into the

car rider line. Please access the 2018-2019 GOC Car Rider Map to review the traffic flow plan for arrival and dismissal.

We ask that all families review the 2018-2019 contribution form on MyPaymentsPlus as well as update their contact information in the Parent Portal.

Students new to GCPS will need to create an account in MyPaymentsPlus and fill out a form in person on campus to set-up access to the Parent Portal.

While GCPS does not provide bus transportation for students to GOC, we would like to take this opportunity to remind drivers of the School Bus Safety Rules they must follow when they encounter a school bus on the roadway.

GCPS has placed cameras on buses as a deterrent for drivers who illegally pass school buses. When the school bus amber or red lights are flashing, the system automatically detects vehicles passing the stopped school bus, and records the violation. Violaters will receive a citation in the mail.

Safety is a priority when it comes to transporting all students and we all play a key role in keeping students safe.

GCPS Foundation's partnership with Peach State Federal Credit Union is a valued relationship! 

This year, the credit union is excited to announce their newest product, The Berenstain Bears Financial Literacy Program CUB ACCOUNT for GCPS students up to age 13. This program seeks to teach youth good financial habits that will last a lifetime by focusing on a simple concept: Save, Share, Spend, Earn. If your student qualifies, sign them up for a CUB ACCOUNT today to help them begin their journey towards financial literacy!
