Digital Learning Day

Our third scheduled Digital Learning Day is Friday, March 14. Students in grades 3-5 will bring home their Chromebooks as normal. We are able to send home a Chromebook for your student in Grades K-2 to use for the DLD if needed. Parents for students in grades K-2, please complete this form if you would like us to send home a Chromebook for your child to use for the Digital Learning Day. These Chromebooks will be sent home Thursday afternoon and we request that students bring them back to school on Monday, March 17. Please note the fees for lost or damaged Chromebooks below.

We have created a Digital Learning Day help guide for parents that has LOTS of information to help your DLD run smoothly! Please check it out here!

Order on MyPaymentsPlus.com

Starting in January, students in Grades K-2 may take books home that they borrow from the library. Please be aware that these books are on loan and must be returned to school. Books which are lost or damaged will incur a fine, usually $15 per book. Please encourage your student to put their library book in their backpack after they are finished reading, so that their books will be sure to make it back to school!

Clinic Donations Needed

• Student sized leggings, sweatpants or jeans. Please donate pants only. They may be dropped off at front desk
• Snack size baggies
• Saltines

Thank you!

DES Birthday Marquee is a fundraising initiative where parents can have their child's birthday displayed on the school marquee to celebrate their special day for a $15 donation. Funds raised will directly benefit Dacula Elementary School. It's a fun and unique way to make your child feel extra special while supporting their school at the same time. Please submit requests at least 1 week in advance!

See information below on how to complete the request and pay!

In-person Visits:

When visiting the school please follow the procedures below. Please note that appointments are required for classroom visits, meetings, or to speak with an administrator.

• Buzz in at the front door and proceed to the table on the left side near the front desk.
• When checking out a student, please wait in the vestibule.
• You may drop off items for students on the table in the vestibule.
• To enter the lobby, you must first scan a picture ID at the vestibule table.
• When visiting during dismissal (2:45-3:45) please go to the car rider line to pick up your student. We cannot call students to the front during dismissal.

Transportation Changes:

Transportation changes should only be made in the event of an emergency.

• Please do not email your child’s teacher for transportation changes.
• You may email our receptionist from your verified email address - 300.FrontDesk@gcpsk12.org
• Faxing a transportation change to the school is also an option by calling 770-277-4448. Please include a copy of your driver’s license. We recommend contacting our school to verify that your fax was received.

One parent per child may come to eat lunch with their student. Please see the cashier to pay for your lunch before taking a tray or getting thing off of the lunch line. This is a new GCPS policy.

If you would like to provide a classroom treat for your child's birthday, please ensure that the treat is wrapped by the vendor and includes an ingredient list. We are not able to accept trays of cupcakes or cookies that are not packaged by the vendor with an ingredient list.

The Georgia After School Program (GASP) has a program at Dacula Elementary! Please see the information below or click the link below if you are interested!

Cooking with you helps your child practice valuable skills such as reading, following directions and planning ahead. Have your child read each step in a recipe aloud. Then, ask questions like, "Which do I put in first, milk or flour?" You can also challenge your student to do the math of doubling a recipe, or to look up cooking terms in the dictionary: "What does mince mean?" Working with you to feed the family can also make your child feel useful and needed.
