We’re just days away from First Day 2021! This week and early next week, schools will host back-to-school events where students can meet their teachers, pick up schedules and locker assignments, confirm their bus stop, and learn about clubs and other opportunities. In addition, parents have the opportunity to join the PTA and learn more about their student’s school. (Check your school’s website for the dates and times of these planned activities.)
Gwinnett County Public Schools will kick off the 2021-22 school year on the first day of school on Aug. 4 with a staggered start for in-person learning. This year, most of Gwinnett’s nearly 180,000 students will be attending school in person, with some families choosing digital instruction for their children this year. Look for important, need-to-know information online in the Back-to-School Hub where you can learn about health and safety in our schools, school nutrition, transportation, athletics and extracurriculars, digital learning (for those who have selected this learning option), and more!
This new school year brings plenty of “new”… new students, new teachers, new principals, a new superintendent, new classes, new items on the menu, and much more! We look forward to the new year and welcoming students and teachers back to learning and back to fun, and most of all being back together in our schools!
