Good afternoon, and Happy Friday!

We've officially completed three-quarters of the school year. The recent spring-like weather has certainly added to the anticipation of summer. The fourth quarter will be filled with testing, events, activities, and enjoyable experiences.

We encourage all students to finish the year strong and make this final quarter their best. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance or support.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Mike

Families of our 11th grade students will be receiving an email with information about immunizations. Two doses of meningococcal (serogroup A, C, W, and Y) vaccine, with the second dose administered on or after age 16 years, are required at the start of 12th grade. We are sending this information for planning purposes for those with well-child visits or sports physicals scheduled this spring and summer.

If you have specific questions about your student’s immunization status, please contact our school clinic at 614-718-8273 or email our nursing team of Amanda Boyles (boyles_amanda@dublinschools.net ) or Kelly Miller (miller_kelly@dublinschools.net). Thank you for your support!

Andrew Johnson" and Clare Park created an individual exhibit titled "Social Security Act: Rights of People and Responsibility of the Government".

They all did a wonderful job at the competition! Clare Park advanced to the state competition with her exhibit and will compete against students from around Ohio on April 26.

The Dublin Jerome Band Recently competed in Districts. They had another stellar performance and recieved the following ratings: Wind Symphony - 1 (Superior), Symphonic Band - 2 (Excellent) and Freshman Band - 1 (Superior).
