Student Assignment Project
Have you heard someone mention the Student Assignment Project, also known as SAP, and wondered what it was?
For months, Student Assignment Project committees have played a crucial role in reviewing student assignments to DCSD schools, a process that goes beyond adjusting attendance boundaries. Composed of teachers, parents, community partners, and local leaders, these committees serve North, Central, Southwest, and Southeast DeKalb.
These committees meet monthly to offer impartial, data-driven recommendations to the Board of Education and District leaders. Their vital contributions include:
- Proposing equitable boundaries, facility uses, and program enhancements.
- Identifying ways to eliminate inequities and improve academic opportunities for all students.
- Providing insights on enhancing family and community engagement in schools.
At its core, this collaborative effort focuses on program evaluations, community feedback, and potential reorganizations to better serve students and families.
DCSD remains committed to making informed, thoughtful decisions based on data and community input. To learn more, visit our Student Assignment Project Resource Hub at dekalbschoolsga.org/sap/ where you can access meeting videos, presentations, recaps, district data, and our new Student Assignment At-A-Glance videos
DHS named AP Honors School
On Friday, the Georgia Department of Education named Dunwoody High School as one of 301 Advanced Placement Honor Schools for 2025. In the press release from the Georgia Department of Education, State School Superintendent, Dr. Richard Woods said, “Georgia's 2025 AP Honor Schools exemplify our commitment to providing students with rigorous, high-quality educational opportunities that prepare them for success beyond high school. I commend these schools for their dedication to academic excellence and equipping students with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in college, careers, and life. I am delighted the number of AP Honor Schools and school districts has risen again this year – a continued testament to the commitment of Georgia public education to expand opportunities for all Georgia students.”
Dunwoody was named an AP Honor School in the following areas:
- AP Humanities School
- AP Humanities Achievement School

Quiet Days Policy in the Library Learning Commons 
Over the past two years, the DHS Library Learning Commons, AKA "The Hub," has invited students to come in before school and during lunch to play Uno, board games, do puzzles, etc. This also spilled over into the ROAR last year. We are thrilled with how successful this "brain break" has been for our students. However, we must still maintain the Hub to be a space that is conducive to studying and reading. It is, after all, a library. A good number of our students come to the Hub in order to find a quiet space to read a book, to study, and to have respite from sensory overload. Based upon student feedback, we are, therefore, instituting "Quiet Days" in the Hub this school year.
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays will be designated as Quiet Days in the Hub, as well as anytime there is whole class instruction taking place in the Hub. On Wildcat Wednesdays and on Fridays (except when we have classes in the library), students will be able to engage more actively in the Hub. Students who are excessively loud on Quiet Days will be asked to leave. Students who are repeat offenders may face disciplinary consequences as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. Signs will indicate to students when it is a Quiet Day.
Additionally, students may not ask to come to the Hub during the ROAR for non-instructional purposes. There will be no passes to the Hub for puzzles and games during the ROAR. Students are still welcome to visit the Hub during ROAR with the QR code pass if they have make-up work or other instructional needs. Students who come to the Hub during ROAR must remain in the Hub for the entire ROAR period.
We hope that this new policy of Quiet Days will provide a balance between those students who are seeking a quiet place and those students who want to engage in games.
