Family Update
Dublin Jerome High School
4.3.2020
What a gorgeous day and I hope you are taking the opportunity to enjoy some outside activity. I will be honest I have had enough of my computer so this piece will be short.
It was a good full week but there are certain areas that we are all improving. All of our staff is working hard to improve and make this experience as productive and positive as possible.
Earlier this week I posted the image to the right. I am asking students, staff and community members to make this their profile picture as a way to show you are here for them. This will give those that maybe don't have someone to check-in with a person to reach out to. Please feel free to join in.
Thank you for all your help and support. It is truly appreciated!
Stay well. #youarenotalone

Spring Sports Update
Jerome Athletics and Update from OHSAA (3.31.2020)
WINTER SPORTS TOURNAMENTS WERE CANCELED ON 3.26.2020
Information Relative to Spring Sports & Beyond
Yesterday’s announcement by Governor DeWine extended mandatory school closures through May 1. As a result:
The mandated No-Contact period has been extended through this date (May 1). This is to assist with the Governor’s ‘stay at home’ order, to prohibit coaches from privately meeting with student-athletes AND to put all schools on an equal level relative to future competitive opportunities.
It should be noted that the No-Contact Regulation was never intended to discourage or prohibit electronic communication with student-athletes. For the mental well-being of student-athletes, it is actually encouraged but is NOT intended for coaches to encourage any form of group gatherings or instruction.
No practices or competitions may occur through this date (May 1).
Since other events and activities are not permitted by the current Governor’s orders, we collectively believe we can continue looking at abbreviated schedules for spring sports. While cancellation remains on the table with all other options, there are many factors that enter into possibilities. Availability of venues for any events, Dept. of Health guidelines and Governor’s orders are all part of the equation. Under no circumstances will we compromise the safety of student-athletes, coaches, officials, game workers or fans. Everyone in the schools is aware of the extremely fluid situation and we will continue to update you as things change.
Off-Season Regulations. In the event activities are permitted to begin in June or July, we are looking at adjusting off-season regulations to expedite a return to school-based athletic programs.
Fall Sport Issues. Again, I feel it is incumbent for our staff to look at every ‘what if’ and be prepared. In a worst-case scenario, if events/practices/training are shut down during or through the summer, the reality exists that many of the thousands of student-athletes may lack any high-level physical training. We need to look at what serves our student-athletes best relative to acclimatization periods. I want to stress that we are PLANNING for worst-case scenarios by identifying all the challenges we could potentially face.
