Newsletter: August 23, 2024

As a reminder, there will be no school on Monday, September 2 in recognition of the Labor Day holiday.

Your child can only be released to adults who are listed as guardians or emergency contacts (as a parent, you can add emergency contacts in Infinite Campus). If an adult comes to the office to pick up a student, our friendly office staff will ask to check their ID so we can confirm they are listed as an emergency contact. We want to do our part in keeping everyone safe!

We are excited to announce that our school has partnered with Aramark as our new food service provider. Aramark brings a variety of nutritious and delicious meal options to our students. Please note that unlike previous years, some of the menu items will now include pork. To ensure everyone is informed, all items containing pork will be clearly labeled in the meal descriptions. We encourage you to review these descriptions and discuss meal choices with your child. Thank you for your continued support!

Dublin City Schools is hosting a public information webinar on Zoom to discuss the upcoming redistricting process, led by third-party expert Cropper GIS. The session will cover the process, timeline, and how parents can provide input. The link to join will be available on the district's redistricting webpage the day of the event. At this time, impacted schools include Glacier Ridge Elementary, Abraham Depp Elementary, Eli Pinney Elementary, Deer Run Elementary, Sells Middle School, Karrer Middle School, Grizzell Middle School, and Eversole Run Middle School.

If you have not yet completed the annual update for your student, please complete this process as soon as possible. Items that can be confirmed or changed as part of the Annual Update include street address, phone number, email, and emergency contacts. The information gathered as part of the Annual Update supports the efficient operation of our district and is critical regarding our ability to communicate with parents in the event of an emergency.

New this year, we have a dedicated space on our website to provide families information about activities provided by local organizations in our schools. We are still adding classes for the Fall. Check it out: After School Activities
