Staff, parents, students, and community members are invited to review and provide input on proposed curriculum resources for three high school courses—Portuguese I, Forest Science, and Natural Resources Management, starting Feb. 12. Additional resources for select courses will be added March 1. The virtual public review of all resources will run through March 12. Before adopting instructional resources for classroom use, Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) holds an extensive review with multiple stakeholders. Data from the reviews and a pilot with students will be considered in making adoption recommendations to the Board of Education. To begin the review, please visit this link. For more about the instructional resources review process, contact the Office of Instructional Resources and Support at 678-301-6828.

Gateway Testing Suspended |
Due to the on-going COVID-19 health pandemic, Gateway testing for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year will be suspended.
GCPS will offer a waiver to those seniors in the Class of 2021 who have met all other graduation requirements except passing the High School Gateway. These seniors will receive a diploma without having to pass or participate in the Gateway assessment. This waiver is put in place to accommodate students whose opportunities to take Gateway prior to graduation were impacted as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, including our move to concurrent learning for the 2020-2021 school year and our suspension of Gateway assessment opportunities for the remainder of the 2020-2021 school year.
