Tired of Manually Tracking Dates? Never Miss an Early Dismissal Again.

We know Lawrenceville parents are juggling work, traffic, and school schedules. Here's what we hear every school year:

Wednesday 11:45am

"You're stuck in traffic on Sugarloaf Parkway near the Mall of Georgia when your phone rings. It's the school - your daughter was supposed to be picked up 15 minutes ago because today was early release. You had no idea. Again."

Saturday morning

"You're driving north on I-85 toward Lake Lanier for a family weekend when you get a text from your neighbor: 'Why is your son home alone? Isn't today a school day?' You frantically pull over and check - Spring Break started today, not next week like you thought. Your 8-year-old has been home alone for 3 hours."

Monday 9:00am

"You drop your kids off at their school near Pleasant Hill Road in Duluth, battle through the K-Town traffic to get to work in downtown Atlanta, and settle in for your morning meeting. At 9 AM, you get a call from the school: 'We're calling to let you know school is closed today for a teacher workday.' You're 45 minutes away and your boss is not happy."

Thursday afternoon

"Your daughter comes home from her school near the Lawrenceville courthouse upset because she's the only one in her class who didn't turn in the field trip permission slip on time. You never saw it because you didn't know parent-teacher conferences were last week, and all the important papers were sent home that day. Now she might miss the trip to the Georgia Aquarium with her friends."

Friday 7:30am

"You're commuting from your home in Dacula down GA-316 to Athens for work when you realize there are no school buses on the road. A sinking feeling hits you - did you miss a schedule change? You check your phone and discover Fall Break started today. Your 10-year-old is home alone, and you're an hour away from being able to get back."

Tuesday morning

"With one kid at Summerour Middle, another at an elementary school in the Collins Hill cluster, and a teenager at Collins Hill High, you're drowning in different schedules. This morning you got the middle schooler's early release time wrong, sent the elementary student on a day they had a field trip, and completely forgot about the high schooler's senior awards ceremony. It's only October."

What Lawrenceville Parents Are Saying

★★★★★
"As a parent of three kids at different schools in the Mill Creek cluster, keeping track of early release days, parent-teacher conferences, and school events used to mean checking three different websites. This Google Calendar has been a game-changer! I get notifications on my phone automatically, and I can see everything in one place. No more scrambling on Sugarloaf Parkway trying to remember if today was early dismissal."
Jennifer K., Duluth, GA (Mill Creek High cluster)
★★★★★
"Between juggling my work schedule and my daughter's activities at North Gwinnett High, I was constantly missing important dates. Last year I completely forgot about Fall Break and had already scheduled a work trip to the Korean business district for meetings. This calendar syncs perfectly with my phone and sends me reminders. Worth every penny for the peace of mind!"
Michael P., Suwanee, GA (North Gwinnett cluster)
★★★★★
"Como madre de dos niños en escuelas diferentes, este calendario me ha salvado la vida. Puedo ver todas las fechas importantes en mi teléfono - días festivos, vacaciones de primavera, todo. Ya no tengo que buscar en la página web del distrito cada semana. Lo recomiendo a todas las familias hispanas en Gwinnett County!"
Maria Rodriguez, Lawrenceville, GA (Archer cluster)
★★★★★
"We live right on the edge of the Gwinnett/Buford school line, and my kids go to GCPS schools. Having this calendar linked to my Google Calendar means I never miss early release days or teacher workdays. It's especially helpful during those crazy traffic mornings on I-985 when I need to adjust my commute schedule."
David L., Buford area (near GCPS boundary)
★★★★★
"As a working mom with two kids at different schools in the Peachtree Ridge cluster, I need to plan everything weeks in advance. This calendar automatically updates my phone and computer, so I can coordinate with my husband's schedule. The reminders for parent-teacher conferences and report card dates have been invaluable. Best $8 I've spent this year!"
Priya S., Johns Creek/Suwanee area (Peachtree Ridge cluster)
★★★★★
"After missing my son's first day of school last year because I thought it was the week after (major dad fail!), I knew I needed a better system. This auto-updating calendar has saved me multiple times. It even includes all the early release days that seem to change every year. My wife and I both have it synced to our phones, so we're always on the same page."
Robert M., Snellville, GA (Shiloh High cluster)
★★★★★
"Managing schedules for three kids in GCPS was overwhelming until I found this calendar. Every holiday, break, and early release day shows up automatically on my phone. I can plan our family trips around Fall Break and Spring Break without having to dig through emails or the district website. It's made our lives so much easier, especially with the crazy traffic on Pleasant Hill Road during school drop-off times."
Lisa T., Lilburn, GA (Parkview cluster)
★★★★★
"As a single dad managing custody schedules and work commitments, having an accurate, auto-updating GCPS calendar has been essential. I get reminders a week before major events, which helps me coordinate with my ex and my employer. The calendar even includes graduation dates and semester end dates. Highly recommend!"
James W., Norcross, GA (Norcross High cluster)

The calendar automatically updates if GCPS makes any changes to the official schedule, so you'll always have accurate dates.

Does GCPS have Fall Break in 2025-26?

Yes! Fall Break is Thursday, October 9 through Monday, October 13, 2025. Students return to school on Tuesday, October 14. This 5-day break is a great time for families to plan trips to the North Georgia mountains or Lake Lanier before the weather gets cold.

Spring Break is Monday, April 6 through Friday, April 10, 2026 (note: some sources show April 7-11, verify with official GCPS calendar). Students have the full week off and return to school on Monday, April 13, 2026.

What about early release days for high school exams?

High school students have early release for three days during semester exams: December 17-19, 2025 (end of first semester) and May 18-20, 2026 (end of second semester/final exams). Elementary and middle school students follow regular schedules on these days.

Is this calendar different from Buford City Schools?

Yes! While some families in the Buford area attend GCPS schools, Buford City Schools operates on a completely different calendar. This calendar is specifically for Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS). If you live near the boundary, make sure you know which district your children attend.

Does this calendar include teacher workdays and professional learning days?

Yes! The calendar includes major teacher workdays when students don't attend school, such as the staff workday/parent-teacher conference day on January 5, 2026, and teacher post-planning days. However, individual schools may have additional early release days for professional learning - check with your specific school for those dates.

Will the calendar automatically update if GCPS changes dates?

Absolutely! That's one of the best features. If GCPS makes any changes to the official calendar (such as adding weather makeup days or adjusting dates), your calendar will automatically update within 24 hours. You don't need to do anything - the changes will appear on all your synced devices.

Can I share this calendar with my spouse or co-parent?

Yes! Once you add the calendar to your Google Calendar (or other calendar app), you can easily share it with family members. This is especially helpful for coordinating custody schedules, planning work commitments around school breaks, and making sure everyone in the family knows about early release days and holidays.
