Each child at Dublin will be encouraged to make a $1 donation per day ($5 for the week) to the cause to participate in the Spirit Wear festivities, but this is simply encouraged, not mandatory to pay to participate.
The top fundraising class in K-2 and the top fundraising class in 3-5 will have a “Popsicles on the Playground Party with Ms. Bigi'' to celebrate their efforts in helping raise FFE Awareness and helping to build this new space at the Outdoor Education Center.
Here’s the line-up for Spirit Week:
Monday, May 9: Mis-matched Monday - Wear your best, mis-matched outfit
Tuesday, May 10: Tie-Dye Tuesday - Come in your best tie-dye attire
Wednesday, May 11: Wacky Hair Day - How wacky can your hair be?
Thursday, May 12: Team Day - Wear your favorite sports team gear
Friday, May 13: Dublin Spirit Wear Day - Wear your Dublin gear or simply wear green to show your school spirit

It’s hard to believe, but we are already planning for the 2022-2023 school year! We would like to gather some information from parents/guardians as we begin to think about classroom placements for next year.
We value parent input on placement. Please fill out the parent input form below if there are specific academic or learning environment needs we should be aware of during placement. Specific teacher requests are NOT permitted.
If your child(ren) will not be attending Dublin next year, please fill out the not returning to Dublin form below. If your family will be returning, there is no need to fill out this form.

Optional COVID testing now available at the ESC
The District is now offering optional COVID testing to our staff, students, and parents. Both Rapid and PCR tests are available. The testing will take place at the Educational Services Center (850 Ladd Road, Building D Walled Lake, MI 48390) on Tuesdays and Fridays from 2-7 p.m.
The COVID testing staff, provided by a third party, will be responsible for letting people in the side door on the south side of the building.
· If you have insurance, your insurance provider will be billed.
· If you do not have insurance, there is a cost of $110.00 for a PCR test and $50.00 for a rapid test - This comes as a result of the Federal Government no longer providing funding for testing.
There will be signage placed both inside and outside of the building. To set up an appointment for testing, please complete this requisition form.

HEALTH SCREENING BEFORE YOU COME TO SCHOOL
Over the past few weeks we have noticed an increase in the number of students that are coming to school sick. Please check your child's health daily and help us ensure we keep our students, staff, and community healthy and safe.
Daily Health Checks: Please check your child(ren) daily for ANY signs of illness before attending school. Check for the following symptoms:
- Fever/Chills
- Cough
- Fatigue
- Shortness of breath/difficulty breathing
- Muscle of Body Aches
- Headache
- New loss of smell or taste
- Sore throat
- Congestion
- Runny Nose
- Nausea or Vomiting
- Diarrhea
If your child has any of these symptoms, please err on the side of caution and keep them home until they are feeling better. Please feel free to call the main office should you have questions. We appreciate your partnership as we continue to work together to keep our community healthy and safe!
