Principal's Message
GCPS will observe its first Digital Learning Day on Tuesday, September 14. Gwinnett Online Campus recently announced that these Digital Learning Days will not impact our lab schedules. Labs will be held on campus on Tuesday, September 14. As always, GOC students will have the option to login from home or attend the weekly lab in person.

All full-time GOC students were issued a GOC lanyard and student ID badge. As part of GOC's safety and security initiatives, ALL students are required to visibly wear their badge at all times while on school property. This protocol will help ensure students' safety, security, as well as help manage a timely check-in and check-out process for all students. If your student did not receive their ID badge, please have them stop by the front desk the next time they are on campus.

Parents, please help your student come up with a plan to ensure that they have their school issued ID badge available every time they arrive on campus. Students who consistently arrive to school without their badge will be issued a replacement card and a $5 charge will be applied to the students MyPaymentsPlus account.
