Our classrooms feature an intense learning environment that combines “The Rotational Approach to Learning” and One-To-One Instruction. Both methods were developed by Edward S.Thalheimer, Ph.D., founder of THE TUTORING CENTER. Our innovative system gives your child far more One-to-One Instruction than he or she will ever receive in a classroom full of children, or even in a small group.

You have many choices available for your child, and we want you to make the choice that's in your child's best interest. While school-based tutoring may provide your child with short-term homework help, THE TUTORING CENTER's intense One-to-One Instruction and "The Rotational Approach to Learning™" actually provide your child with long-term skills that will last a lifetime.

Gwinnett Health Finder links un/underinsured residents of Gwinnett County to quality, affordable healthcare resources.

Those without health insurance often have less access to care, receive poorer quality of care, and experience worse health outcomes. They delay or go without needed care because of cost. They are less likely to seek preventative care and services for chronic diseases or major health conditions. Hence, their health and well-being are at much greater risk. 

Gwinnett Health Finder helps narrow the gap and connect our un/underinsured residents to quality healthcare providers that are ready and willing to care for them so they can live their best lives.

Providers listed on this site accept at least one of these forms of payment as an alternative to private health insurance: Medicare, Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids®, sliding fee scale, or self-pay.

Gwinnett Health Finder is powered by the Gwinnett Coalition as part of their work to address health inequities in our community.

The mission at Kate’s Club is to empower children and teens facing life after the death of a parent or sibling. The vision is a world in which it is OK to grieve.

We believe in:

Fun: Recreation is important to every child and essential to the grieving process. Kate’s Club programs focus on helping children learn to play and have fun again.

Community: Kate’s Club provides children with an open and supportive network of peers and mentors who share a profound experience of loss. This community works together to rebuild a fundamental social foundation.

Safety: Kate’s Club is a healing community where kids are always safe to share their memories and stories of loss. Children are welcome to engage how and when is comfortable for them, and never pushed to share before they are ready.

Long-Term Support: Children who lose a parent or sibling are at greater risk for emotional and behavioral struggles for years after the loss occurs. Kate’s Club welcomes children at any point in their grief journey, and invites them to stay as long as they like.

DACA - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals

What is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals?

Over the past several years, this Administration has undertaken an unprecedented effort to transform the immigration enforcement system into one that focuses on national security, public safety, border security and the integrity of the immigration system. As the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues to focus its enforcement resources on the removal of individuals who pose a danger to national security or a risk to public safety, DHS will exercise prosecutorial discretion as appropriate to ensure that enforcement resources are not expended on low priority cases, such as individuals who came to the United States as children and meet other key guidelines. Individuals who demonstrate that they meet the guidelines below may request consideration of deferred action for childhood arrivals (DACA) for a period of two years, subject to renewal for a period of two years, and may be eligible for employment authorization.

You may request consideration of DACA if you:

1. Were under the age of 31 as of June 15, 2012;
2. Came to the United States before reaching your 16th birthday;
3. Have continuously resided in the United States since June 15, 2007, up to the present time;
4. Were physically present in the United States on June 15, 2012, and at the time of making your request for consideration of deferred action with USCIS;
5. Had no lawful status on June 15, 2012, meaning that:

• You never had a lawful immigration status on or before June 15, 2012, or
• Any lawful immigration status or parole that you obtained prior to June 15, 2012, had expired as of June 15, 2012;

1. Are currently in school, have graduated or obtained a certificate of completion from high school, have obtained a General Educational Development (GED) certificate, or are an honorably discharged veteran of the Coast Guard or Armed Forces of the United States; and
2. Have not been convicted of a felony, a significant misdemeanor, three or more other misdemeanors, and do not otherwise pose a threat to national security or public safety.

Gwinnett Health Finder links un/underinsured residents of Gwinnett County to quality, affordable healthcare resources.

Those without health insurance often have less access to care, receive poorer quality of care, and experience worse health outcomes. They delay or go without needed care because of cost. They are less likely to seek preventative care and services for chronic diseases or major health conditions. Hence, their health and well-being are at much greater risk. 

Gwinnett Health Finder helps narrow the gap and connect our un/underinsured residents to quality healthcare providers that are ready and willing to care for them so they can live their best lives.

Providers listed on this site accept at least one of these forms of payment as an alternative to private health insurance:
Medicare, Medicaid, PeachCare for Kids®, sliding fee scale, or self-pay.

Gwinnett Health Finder is powered by the Gwinnett Coalition as part of their work to address health inequities in our community.

Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program

Studies show that successful mentoring programs help at-risk students develop social skills, improve their school achievement and graduation rates, and help them develop self-esteem, among many benefits.

GCPS has proactively developed a Community-Based Mentoring program to connect caring adults in the community with middle school boys whose poor attendance and behavior are having an adverse impact on their grades and classroom performance.

While school counselors, teachers, and family members all play a role in keeping students in school and learning, the involvement of a community mentor can make a meaningful connection.

If you'd like to find out if your child can be part of the Community-Based Mentoring program, please contact your School Counselor.
