PTA Family Science Night
PTA Family Science Night will take place on Wednesday, April 10th, from 6:00-8:00 pm.

The event is FREE to all PTA members or $1.00 per person for non-PTA members. We need over 40 volunteers to make this night a success, so please consider donating an hour or so of your time.

New Kindergarten Jumpstart 19-20
We will have two Dubin Kindergarten Jumpstart days on May 9th and May 16th.
These days are designed for NEW kindergarten students for next year.
On each of the two days, students will spend time on a short bus ride around the neighborhood near Dublin from 9:30-10:00 AM. They will also spend from 10:00-11:30 AM working with our kindergarten teachers. Teachers will get to know the students better and assess some of their skills.
An email has gone out to all parents that attended Kindergarten Orientation with full details.
The sign up for these days is available HERE.
If you will have a new kindergarten student at Dublin next year, please sign up for one of these Jumpstart days. Please let us know if you have any questions.
2019-2020 District Calendar
Please click here: 2019-20 calendar to view next year’s school calendar.
Please Note:
- We will start the school year prior to Labor Day again.
- Late starts (middle school) and early release (high schools) have been eliminated.
- There are several half-days throughout the school year.
- As we have in the past, we will offer a reduced rate for Prime Time Care service on each of these half days.
You might be wondering...Why are there so many half days?
Throughout the school year, there are eight half days that will be used for staff professional development. We recognize that half days can be inconvenient for families.
Research has shown that when teachers receive ongoing, job-embedded professional development, they can increase student achievement by as much as 21 percentile points (Source).
As a school and district, we are committed to continuous improvement and these eight half days are an essential part of that commitment. Although they may seem inconvenient, staff development opportunities are crucial to ensure we provide an exemplary education for our children.
REMIND 101
In an effort to have great communication from school to home, we also offer Remind 101 to all Dublin parents.
How does it work?
If you would like to receive a quick text message on your cell phone or device, just sign up with us and you receive a quick text to remind you of important school events, deadlines, time frames, etc. at Dublin.
You can unsubscribe at any time, and we promise not to over use this communication tool either!
