Dublin Jerome High School
May 10, 2024
Greetings Families,
We are officially halfway through AP testing at Jerome! Our school is administering 1,645 AP tests this week and next, and we are so proud of our students and staff who have been preparing all year for this.
As we move into the last two weeks of the school year, now is the time to check in with your student and their grades in Infinite Campus. If there are any concerns, please encourage your child to speak with their teacher to clarify expectations on any missing work.
As a special end-of-year treat, the PTO will be celebrating our students on Friday, May 17th with the Sunshine Cart during 4th, 5th, and 6th periods. They will be set up in the Commons and by the main entrance to hand out snacks.
An early Happy Mother's Day to all the moms reading this - we appreciate you!

EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
District Dodgeball Tournament - Friday, May 10th
The District Dodgeball Tournament is just around the corner. Jerome High School is ready and prepared to compete under the lights at Coffman High School on Friday, May 10. We hope that you will be able to attend and cheer on our teams as we compete, and more importantly, raise money for our beneficiary, Glitter Girls Guild. This organization has directly impacted so many Dublin families during their critical time of need.
Purchase tickets today by visiting the Dodgeball website. Pre-sale tickets are $7 each, while day-of tickets are $10 each.
If you’d like to make an additional donation to this worthwhile cause, you can do so here on the Jerome High School SchoolFundr page: https://app.schoolfundr.org/fund/dodgeball2024/jerome-high-school
Our school’s SchoolFundr link is a great charitable option for family members who aren’t attending the tournament, but still want to support our students and give back to such a worthy cause.
