Student Parent Handbook

Bethesda Student and Parent Handbook

Welcome to Bethesda Elementary School, home of the Patriots. This parent-student handbook contains basic school information. Parents will receive additional information about Gwinnett County School System Policies and Procedures in the Student/Parent Discipline and Intervention Handbook which will be given out via MyPaymentsPlus at the beginning of the school year and when new students register for school. If you have any questions and/or concerns about anything not covered in this handbook, please contact the school office at (770) 921-2000.

During the 2025-2026 school year, we look forward to a cooperative and committed home-school partnership. Parent involvement is encouraged and welcomed. There are countless opportunities to be involved in our school, attending school-sponsored events and supporting your child’s learning daily. We welcome you and your children to our school.

The Student/Parent Handbook for Gwinnett County Public Schools provides you with information concerning policies and procedures for all Gwinnett elementary schools and can be found at the link above.  

If you are new to Bethesda Elementary, you can acknowledge receipt of these documents by going to ParentSquare.If you need help creating a ParentSquare account, you can find it ParentSquare on the county website. .
