 Rising Freshman Information

Freshman Math Boot Camp

 

Monday, July 20th: 8:30am-12:30pm and Tuesday, July 21st: 8:30am-12:30pm

 

Is your child ready for the rigorous workload a high school math class entails?  Could your student use a review of key skills to prepare for the rigors of high school math?

 

The Freshman Math Boot Camp will help all rising 9th graders prepare for high school math.  This two day camp will review basic skills that are essential for students to be successful and allow them to experience math at the high school level.  Students will also get to work with hands-on manipulatives, as well as learn calculator skills necessary for high school math.

Freshman Pre-Game Orientation

 

Wednesday, July 22nd and Thursday, July 23rd: 8:30am-2:00pm

 

Before you walk through the doors on your first day of high school, you need to ask yourself—Am I ready?  Are you confident that you have the skills necessary to do well in your 9th grade classes?  Are you confident that you know how to get help if you need it?

As high schools intensify academic demands and increase workloads, 9th graders often find themselves overwhelmed and under-prepared.  This two day session will combine instruction on key skills necessary to do well in high school level classes with other orientation activities hosted by the Freshman Mentors.

 SADD Information

SADD's mission:
To provide students with the best prevention tools possible to deal with the issues of underage drinking, other drug use, impaired driving and other destructive decisions.

SADD is a peer-to-peer education, prevention, and activism organization dedicated to preventing destructive decisions, particularly underage drinking, other drug use, risky and impaired driving, teen violence, and teen suicide.

SADD is an inclusive, not an exclusive, organization. SADD recognizes that the pressures on young people to drink, use illicit drugs and engage in other unhealthy behaviors are strong. SADD seeks not to punish or alienate those students who make unfortuante choices but rather aims to inform educate, support and empower young people to make positive decisions in their lives.

If you are interested in being a part of SADD's new Dacula Chapter please stop by the Counseling office and pick up a registration form and return it before May 8th to Ms. Jaffe.

D.O.T. -- Dacula On Time

D.O.T. is designed to replace the current tardy policy at Dacula High School. The ultimate goal is to get students to class on time and maximize instruction while streamlining the tardy policy in order to help teachers in the classroom. D.O.T. is a teacher driven idea that was formulated through studying other tardy policies throughout Gwinnett County. D.O.T. is a teacher driven/administration supported policy designed to show students the importance of attending class on time.

Procedure

  • Students have 3 total tardies before receiving consequences. (Please see D.O.T. Referral Form)
  • Students have 7 minutes between class changes and 6 minutes between lunches.
  • When the last bell sounds, teachers will shut their doors. Students will not be admitted into classrooms unless they have an Administrator or D.O.T. pass.

Students still in the hall after the bell will report to the D.O.T. table in the front lobby to receive a tardy pass. Once they receive their pass, they are to report to class.
