A Note from Mr. Ritter
Happy Friday! I wanted to follow up on what I shared last week about creating more distance between students in the lunchroom setting. As of Thursday, students are now distanced 6 feet part during lunch. The lunch table layout is very similar to what we had in place last spring. Our hope with this move is to keep kids safe/healthy and reduce the number of close contact quarantines. Students will still have 15 minutes (and more if needed) to eat their lunch. It's only day two, but the kids have done a phenomenal job adjusting to this change!
Upcoming Events:
September 21: Picture Day
October 14: PT Conferences (Virtual)
October 20: PT Conferences (Virtual)
Have a great weekend and Go Bucks!

PTO Committee Chair Volunteers Needed!
The PTO is looking for volunteers to co-chair the Bailey Bash and Teacher Time Raffle.
The Bailey Bash is our school carnival event slated for April 29th this year. This position will entail coordinating sub-committees, which in the past has included ticket sales, games, prize redemption, cake walk, spa experience, decoration & clean-up, and vendor management. Teacher Time Raffle runs January 24-28th and includes coordinating a raffle done during the lunch hours to win special experiences for the student and a friend with their favorite teacher.

COVID-19 Data
The latest COVID-19 data for Dublin City Schools is posted at this link.
Social-Emotional Learning and Dublin City Schools
Student well-being is one of the District’s top priorities.
In the coming weeks (Sept. 27-Oct. 6), we plan to administer a social-emotional learning (SEL) questionnaire to students in grades 3-12. SEL describes the mindsets, attitudes, and feelings that help students succeed in school, career and life, such as growth mindset, self-efficacy and sense of belonging. These results will help us better understand ways we can support students' social and emotional needs. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s principal.
We want your feedback!
Please share your thoughts and ideas with us using our new tool called ThoughtExchange. If you already provided us with thoughts, you can return to rate the thoughts of others! Click here to participate.
Flu shots available
Again this school year, Dublin City Schools is providing students in grades K-12 with the opportunity to receive flu shots at their school. You can find the schedule and the permission form here.
Please fill out sections two through 10 on the form and the insurance information on the reverse side, and return it to your school clinic by Sept. 22.
