The book fair is only possible because you share your time so generously.

We’ve seen a rise in cases of pneumonia across Dublin City Schools, and we want to ensure parents stay informed. Pneumonia, an infection that inflames the lungs, can lead to a variety of symptoms, including cough, fever, and difficulty breathing. Early recognition is essential, especially as these symptoms overlap with other seasonal illnesses. For more information on pneumonia, please refer to What is Pneumonia from the NIH and our pneumonia fact sheet from the CDC, which provide insights into prevention, symptoms, and when to seek care.

Dublin Ski and Board Sign-Ups start Friday, November 1-30! Details can be found on the Ski Club Website. If you missed the parent meeting, you can view the presentation here. Here’s how to sign up: Sign Up-Directions.
