Step 2: Next Steps
- Upon completion of the withdrawal form by the parent, the school will review the form and will contact the parent, if needed, for any missing information.
- The school will contact the parent to set up a virtual meeting to verify the identity of the withdrawing parent.If parents have not been contacted after 24 hours of completing the online form, please call the school at 678-245-5450 to verify the school received the submitted online form.
- After verifying the identity of the withdrawing parent, the school will email the parent prior to sending the completed withdrawal form. This initial email will provide parents with directions on how to open an encrypted PDF message sent by Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS).
- The school will finalize the withdrawal process by securely emailing the encrypted withdrawal form.
- An Enrollment Verification Form will also be included in this email. This form should be completed by the student’s new school and faxed back to Ferguson Elementary to complete the process.
