DISCIPLINE

The Gwinnett County Board of Education Parent/Student Discipline Code is reviewed with students at the beginning of the year. This code is found in the GCPS Student Handbook that is available online. Students and parents should review these rules and guidelines for behavior together and sign off through mypaymentsplus.com.

The following are our local school processes and procedures for classroom management. Please see the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) Matrix below for school-wide behavioral expectations.
