Students are required to wear their DMS issued lanyard with their student ID when they are at school each day.

These are part of our safety and security measures.

If a lanyard is lost, replacements must be purchased from each grade level's clerk.

The cost for replacement is $2.00.

** Please Note **

Due to the recent time change, after-school soccer intramurals have been postponed for now. All other intramural sport offerings are still in session.

Georgia Parent Survey

The Georgia Parent Survey is designed to give parents an opportunity to share input with the Georgia Department of Education. It contains 24 questions. Parents may complete the survey using a personal computer, smartphone, or tablet. Parents that do not have access to the Internet, should contact their child’s school to arrange to complete the survey at the school.

The data parents provide by completing this survey will be used as part of the calculation of the School Climate Star Rating. Survey responses are anonymous and will be submitted directly to the Georgia Department of Education for analysis.

Individual data results from the Georgia Parent Survey will not be available to system or school personnel or the public and will not be posted online.

Please provide your voice for Gwinnett County Public Schools by clicking HERE and completing the survey.

Morning Student Drop Off Reminders

For safety reasons, morning car rider students should not exit their vehicles until the first bell rings at 8:55am. Students are not allowed to enter the building until that time as there is no staff supervision available.

Students needing to be dropped off prior to the morning bell must use the bus lanes and enter the cafeteria up until 8:35am. After that point, all traffic must go through and line up in the car rider lanes at the front of the building.

Thank you for your cooperation and attention to this important safety issue!

From Our Friends at the Dacula Public Library

Gwinnett County Public Library is happy to serve as a safe place for students after school and appreciates the majority of students who visit and abide by the library's rules. Students are welcome to use the library to study, talk with friends, and participate in library programs and activities. The library does have a Code of Conduct to address students whose behavior is disruptive to others using the library and violating the Code of Conduct will lead to suspension from the library.

Violations include but are not limited to:

● disobeying the reasonable direction of library staff or security officers

● making loud disruptive noises of any kind

● blocking aisles, entrances, or exits in any manner

● engaging in any form of sexual misconduct

● damaging, stealing, or altering library property

● smoking on library property

Immediate suspensions for the remainder of the school year will be issued to students who fight or threaten to fight on library property, who harass or threaten library staff or other customers, bring drugs or alcohol onto library property, or engage in other illegal activity.

Caregivers can ensure that their students retain access to the library by setting expectations for behavior after school and by working proactively with library staff when issues arise. The library is committed to working with students, caregivers, schools, and police officers to keep students safe and to quickly address all inappropriate conduct.
