Dublin Jerome High School
October 25, 2019
Good Afternoon and Happy Friday!
One of the large discussions among our staff is the Social-Emotional Wellness of our students and how that plays into our Organizational Health of Jerome. We have been working to discuss and develop learning opportunities that foster a sense of belonging and celebrates diversity.
We desire to develop our students beyond the academic content and develop thinkers that are empathetic and able to be leaders into the 2020s and beyond. Jerome is a special place and we want our students to have an experience that will prepare them in all aspects.
We are excited and hopeful when we work with your children each day and we are grateful that you send them to us to help them grow as people.
Enjoy the last weekend of October!

Attendance Updates
1. Attendance Automated Calls: Families will receive an automated phone call even if you have called or emailed. This is due to a newly adopted Alianna's Law, which requires schools to contact parents within 120 minutes of the start of the school day if marked absent. This phone call ensures that you are aware of your son or daughter being marked absent. The message is available for you to preview below. It does state, "if you have already contacted the school you can disregard the message."
We understand that this may be an inconvenience for some but we prefer to overcommunicate. With a large student body it is important we accurately reflect our attendance for the safety and security of all students. We appreciate your understanding. .

Student Health and Wellness
Dublin ACT and Nationwide Children's Presents: Know More Do More
Every day, we hear stories about the prevalence of opioids in our communities — particularly, prescription painkillers — and the dangers these medications pose, especially when it comes to our kids.
The Dublin ACT (Adolescents and Community Together) Coalition, a team focused on preventing and reducing youth substance abuse, partnered with Nationwide Children’s Hospital to develop a series of guides schools, parents and communities can use to prevent and reduce alcohol and other drug misuse in their communities.
