Parent e-News
Dublin Jerome High School
September 13, 2019
Good Afternoon!
Today ends the fifth week of the first quarter. This would be a great time to check-in with your child about their progress thus far. I would encourage you to sit down and review Schoology with them and discuss the positives and areas of improvement for the second half of the quarter.
If there are areas of concern and you believe it requires more details please feel free to reach out to the teacher. We also have Parent-Teacher Conferences this week on Thursday, Sept. 19 (3:00-6:30).
Our ability to communicate and collaborate about your child's education is vital to their learning success. We are grateful for our partnership with you.
Have a wonderful weekend and Go Celts!

AP Exam Registration:
Dear AP Parent,
Attached you will find the Dublin Jerome 2019-20 AP exam registration form with instructions for signing up for AP Exams, as well as a combined AP/IB testing schedule. The AP Student and Parent Bulletin that is typically included in our registration materials will be distributed later this winter.
Due to changes initiated by the College Board, AP Exam registration will take place this year in the fall from September 16th - October 18th.
Research conducted by the college board has found the students who register in the fall perform better on AP Exams, and that students were more engaged and less likely to give up when faced with challenging topics. Please complete the registration form and return it to the Guidance Office no later than October 18th.
The paper registration form MUST be completed to ensure the correct AP exam is ordered. Families unable to make this financial commitment should contact their child’s school counselor in the guidance office.
Payment may be made by cash, check, (made payable to Dublin Jerome High School) or with a credit card through SPS EZ Pay. SPS EZ Pay charges a convenience fee per transaction. Please retain documentation of payments, as you are responsible for the total fee. The paper registration form must be completed for all forms of payment to ensure the correct AP exams are ordered for your child.
Attention Junior Parents:
This week the Guidance Department met with Juniors regarding future postsecondary planning. Items covered include college and career exploration resources, college entrance exams (PSAT, ACT, SAT) resume building, and using Naviance.
Please see the attached PDF of our student newsletter along with a link to our presentation. Parents are welcome to use this as a guide in facilitating family discussions regarding postsecondary planning.
