Weekly Schedule
Community Survey Open Now!
This is a unique moment for our schools. Our school district is a high quality district, but we can leverage many opportunities for our future. This process, which hasn't been done in decades, will help shape a unified vision, elevating our district to even greater heights. This is your chance to join the conversation.
Please fill out the Community Survey before the end of September. Here is the link: www.planning-next.com/dublin-city-schools-community/
Parking Pass Information
Parking Pass sales is open for all students grades 10-12. Please feel free to email Mr. Pusateri if you have questions
- Lot checks will begin on Monday--students that do not have a pass will receive notifications and we will begin taking steps to ensure students are displaying their parking passes.
Attendance Reminders
Helpful attendance reminders:
- If your student will be absent from school the best way to communicate with the attendance office is via email djhs_attendance@dublinschools.net
- Calls placed to the attendance line are not excused absences. Students must bring written documentation of the absence from the parent on the day of his/her return.
- If your family is planning on going on an extended trip, please reach out at least 3-5 days prior to the trip so that we may assist you.
- Per House Bill 410, failure to supply written documentation of the absence will result in an unexcused absence and the student may be considered truant. Additionally, once a student accumulates 38 hours in one month or 65 hours in a school year, only a doctor’s note will be accepted as written documentation of an excused absence.
- Please understand, if you call the school to report your students' absence, per district policy in accordance with HB 66, you will receive a call from the automated system.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact
