From the Desk of Dr. Overstreet
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Dublin High School’s number one goal is high achievement and success for all students. We want our students to be globally competitive citizens. As our school year winds down, we are focusing on finishing strong. What does this mean? Our classroom instruction is of paramount importance during these last few weeks. We want our students to achieve at levels of proficiency or above during the administration of the Georgia Milestones testing and with our End-of-Pathway assessments. In order for us to support our students with these goals in mind, we are tightening up our expectations.
Beginning Monday, March 18, 2024, all cell phones, headphones, earbuds, etc. will not be allowed to be used in any area of the school. They have become a distraction to learning within our classrooms, and we will be enforcing our cell phone policy for the remainder of the year. Our cell phone policy states:
Cell phones, earbuds, headphones and electronic devices ARE NOT TO BE USED at school during the
instructional school day and change of classes. Cell phones must be turned off and kept OUT OF
SIGHT at all times. Cell phones should be kept in book bags or purses. Cell phone accessories
(headphones, chargers, etc) are to be kept in book bags or purses as well. The use of cell phones while on school buses is strictly prohibited unless an emergency situation arises and students have
permission from the bus driver. Violations of this policy will usually result in the following disciplinary
action:
● First Offense: Confiscated phones will be held for 3 school days. A phone may be
picked up from an administrator after 2:30 at the conclusion of the 3 days.
● Second Offense: Confiscated phone will be held for 5 school days. A phone may
be picked up from an administrator after 2:30 at the conclusion of the 5 days.
● Third Offense: Confiscated phone will be held for 10 school days. A phone may be
picked up from an administrator after 2:30 at the conclusion of the 10 days.
During the day if you need to reach your child, please call 478-353-8040, and we will be happy to help.
We are committed to preparing our students for college and career readiness. Part of doing this involves how we present ourselves to the public. We want to build habits in our students of dressing for the job or career they want to have. Our dress code states that students are not to wear hats, hoodies, scarves, blankets, slides, slippers, etc.
We need your help. Please remind your child of our expectations and remind them of the
importance of finishing the school year strong. You are our best partners, and together we can help
our students grow and achieve.
Thank you for your support,
Michael Overstreet
Principal
