Back to School Tips!
Having the kids go back to school is never an easy task.  Although, there are some things can make it an easier transition , such as meeting the teacher before school starts. If your kids are going to a new school, it is a good idea to take them on a tour of the school to show them where they will be going and where their classrooms are located. Getting all of the school supplies ahead of time is better than waiting until later because the stores tend to have fewer options of supplies right before school and, then your kids have time to organize and not rush into anything. The last thing to help is easing into a routine with bedtime and waking up to get ready for school times.

If this is your first year in the Gwinnett County or Walton County School District you can look at reviews, classroom sizes, technology ratings and more on our community information page. To search your community, type in the appropriate zip code for that area.
