Academic Assistance Program Information
Academic Assistance Program Information
As a part of the promotion criteria, students are required to pass 5 out of 6 courses each semester. Language Arts and Mathematics must be two of the five subjects passed.
Students who do not meet the promotion criteria for semester 1 may be recommended to attend Dacula Middle School’s Academic Assistance Program (AAP). This learning opportunity will be vital in preparing your child for the upcoming semester and helping them to meet the criteria for promotion to the next grade level.
The classes will be offered Monday - Thursday after school in a designated classroom with their assigned AAP teacher in February and March 2025.
Parents will be able to register for the course(s) needed to meet promotion criteria for $100 per course via My Payments Plus.
Families of students that need to attend have be notified via ParentSquare and Synergy email.

Dear Parents,
If you have a student receiving special education services, each state is required to conduct a yearly parent survey to measure parent/family perceptions of parent engagement between home and school. Below you will find the links to the parent letter (sent home with special education students on Wednesday, 2/5) and the survey. Please take a moment to take this very valuable survey. Your feedback assists us in proving support to our families.
