Reminders
Morning Car Rider Drop Off:
For your child's safety, car riders should not be dropped off prior to the morning bell at 8:55 am in the car rider lane. The car rider lane will close at 9:20 am, and students must be in class by 9:25 to avoid being marked tardy.
Bus Dismissal:
For your convenience, we post our bus calls on our website to keep you informed of when your student leaves the building by bus. You can access this information each afternoon by logging on to our website.
Click on the Students/Parents tab across the top and then click on Afternoon Bus Dismissal.
Afternoon buses are posted to our website as they arrive at Dacula Middle with the bus call they are part of.
The time that students are called to load that set of buses is listed in the last column.
Buses leave our school approximately 5 - 7 minutes after the time listed in the green column.
