Lexile measures represent the difficulty of a text. They can be used as a guide in choosing books to match reading levels. Reading books at the correct level of difficulty promotes growth in reading. 

Lexile measures for students who took GMAS exams are available using the parent portal by locating the Text History tab, click on Assessment Reports and choose the Spring 2018 results. The Lexile measure will be included in the report. That Lexile can the be entered HERE to obtain book suggestions.

Are you a student in grades 4-6?  Do you want to read a good book in the month of September and meet with your classmates and teachers to talk about the best parts? If you answered yes to both, please come join Ms. Sotolongo and Mr. Lollis for our new, just-for-fun, out-of-class book club. Here's how it will work:

As part of Gwinnett County Public School's focus on safety, our school uses a visitor management system.  This system, which requires visitors to be "buzzed" into the school, is intended to enhance the safety and security of students, staff and special visitors by establishing greater door control at the primary entrance of GOC.

With safety in mind, we would like to take this opportunity to remind you of how the Visitor Management System works. 

Thank you for your continued support in helping keep our campus safe for all.

Gwinnett Online Campus Student Photo ID Badges were distributed last week. For students who did not receive their badge, please stop by the Office of Student Services the next time you are on campus. 

As part of the district wide initiative, GOC strictly adheres to all safety and security standards. Students are required to visibly wear or carry their ID card with them at all times to scan upon entering and exiting the building. Students who lose their badge or do not consistently bring ID badges to campus will be issued a new card resulting in a $5 replacement charge.  This charge will be applied to your students MyPaymentsPlus account.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the main office.

Please contact Dr. Dana Edwards with any questions.
