Important Reminders:

We're looking forward to seeing everyone back to DMS on Monday, January 6th!

Morning tutoring will restart on Monday, 1/13th and will not be held the first week back from break (1/6th - 1/10th).

Any student arriving before 8:55am will need to report to and sign in at the cafeteria until the school day begins.

Student missing their Agenda?

They can purchase a new one when they return to school for $10 in the front office. This is a required school tool so make sure you replace a missing one when we return.

First Semester Report Cards will be going home Friday, January 10th!

Please be on the lookout for this important information from your student.

Academic Assistance Program (AAP) News You Can Use

As our first semester comes to a close, final grades will come to a close as well. Students MUST pass five of six subject EACH semester. Language Arts and Math are two of the five that MUST be passed EACH semester.

If your child finishes the semester with a grade of 60-69% in a core subject area, then he/she may be eligible for Dacula Middle School’s Academic Assistance Program (AAP). This program allows students to participate in remediation opportunities in order to recover a failing grade to a passing score of a 70%, which may keep them on track for promotion to the next grade.

The cost is $75 per subject area in order to pay our teachers.

You can check your child’s grade on the parent portal each day to monitor their progress towards passing for the semester. AAP will begin in January, and you can expect communication for registration following the winter break.

20/20 Vision Beyond 2020

Dacula Middle School will become a world-class school that provides a safe and nurturing environment where students acquire the knowledge, skills, behaviors, and beliefs to be successful in college and careers in a diverse society.
