GCPS International Travel Guidelines |
As families plan to travel for upcoming breaks, it’s important to know that GCPS follows CDC guidelines when it comes to international travel. The CDC recommends that unvaccinated travelers (including children) get tested for COVID-19 within 3 to 5 days after returning AND self-quarantine at home for a full 7 days after travel. Vaccinated travelers and those who have recently recovered from COVID (within the last three months) are not required to quarantine, but should monitor for symptoms for 14 days after travel.

We do not interrupt classes for student messages or for the delivery of forgotten items such as lunches, money, keys, books, homework, book bags, etc.
Students are encouraged to remember to bring needed items with them to school. In addition, we do not deliver flowers, gifts, or fast food to classrooms.
Students may not receive any deliveries from a third party (friends, outside vendors, restaurants, etc.) at any time during the school day, including lunchtime.
Interruption of classes for deliveries interferes with instruction. Please help us protect the learning environment. P.10 Student Handbook

Support The Peachtree Ridge Bands Program |

If you buy gifts, order meals, or purchase Hams/Turkeys from HoneyBaked Hams during the holidays you could help out our students' Band classes here at Peachtree Ridge!
The link above allows you to purchase eGift Cards (recommended to eliminate shipping delay) to spend at HoneyBaked Hams over the holidays. 20% of the revenue from this link goes right back to the band program to help purchase new music for each class, make repairs, and purchase new equipment for our courses! We really need some new chairs/music stands :)
Please consider taking the extra step this holiday season to buy these eGift cards and support our fine art students.
Feel free to share this link with friends, family, co-workers, customers and neighbors!
