Dublin Jerome High School
Welcome Back Edition: August 1st, 2019
Good Afternoon Jerome Families!
I am typing with great excitement in sharing my first formal communication with you. We are so looking forward to welcoming everyone for the 2019-2020 school year, including the Class of 2023. It is truly special to be back here at Dublin Jerome, and as we get to know each other over the course of the year, I trust you will observe my commitment and passion for our students, staff, and community.
As you may have noticed this format is a bit different than what you may be used to. I have utilized this platform over the past few years and I have found this to be engaging and accessible especially via mobile device. It also affords me the opportunity to easily share images, videos, and links to provide you current and relevant information. Typically, you will receive a notification via School Messenger around 5:00 pm. It will include a link to this newsletter. There may be a few adjustments along the way but I anticipate it to run smoothly. We will also post the archives weekly on the Jerome website so you may visit as often as you like.
We are less than two weeks away from the start of school. Below there is a variety of information that will help you be prepared for the start of the school year. Please take some time to read and review this information. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Looking forward to meeting everyone soon!
Respectfully,
Mike
