A note for students and parents-
Thank you to all the students who were involved in the Emerald community Heart Wellness Week! It was a great week including spirited days, cards for Nationwide, mindful stretching, healthy-self presentations, and so much more! This event is one example of how Dublin's caring and compassionate students really show the spirit of being apart of something special, the Emerald Campus!
Upcoming Events/Dates
Changes to learning mode for HS/MS students starting Nov. 30
As you are aware, yesterday Franklin county was designated as “purple” in the state of Ohio’s rating system. Over the past few weeks, the rise in the number of COVID-19 cases in central Ohio and Dublin have sharply increased.
As such, Dublin City Schools’ middle and high schools will be in remote learning mode for the remainder of the first semester beginning Nov. 30.
Elementary students will remain in hybrid learning mode. You can read more at this link.

Pop Tab Collection
Also, as a reminder, we are collecting pop tabs to support the local Ronald McDonald House (located by the Nationwide Children’s Hospital on Livingston Ave). This project is also a component of the Service-Learning experience in The Bridge program at Emerald Campus.
The pop tab program benefits families staying at the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) while their children are in the hospital. RMH receives a check (from recycling the pop tabs) and the money is used to pay utility bills or support programs. Students can bring in tabs at any time. They will place them in the containers (placed by recycling bins and/or water fountains). Contact the Bridge students and staff or emeraldcampus@dublinschools.net with any questions.
