Principal's Message
It has been a great first week back for the students and staff. The students have been working hard to get back into the groove and pick up where we left off at the end of the 1st semester. As we move into the 2nd semester, we will soon start to have discussions around student scheduling for the 2023/2024 school year. Please take some time to review the dates and information that apply to your student.
Our athletic teams are back in action this week and our drama club has been working hard rehearsing for their upcoming performances scheduled for the end of the month.
I hope that everyone has had a great week back to school!
Thank you and enjoy your weekend.

Dublin 6th Grade Dance Club
Calling ALL 6th graders!
MORE THAN DANCING, this long-standing program will teach proper social etiquette and respect for others alongside the latest line, popular, and classic dances. Our professional dance instructor, Ron Clark, has guided well over 80,000 students in central Ohio on dance moves and social graces.
WHY JOIN 6th GRADE DANCE CLUB?
In this screen heavy time, Ron believes it’s more important than ever to teach kids social skills such as… how to shake hands, how to treat one another gently and with respect, how to make small talk, and how to make eye contact with others.
He does this in a FUN, casual setting with their friends, through dancing.
All 6th graders who join Dance Club will have the opportunity to attend 4 lessons throughout the month of April + a Final Dance Party on April 30th. All lessons will be held during the week, in the evening, in the gymnasiums of one of our Dublin middle schools.
This PTO sponsored club will begin taking registrations on FEBRUARY 1st.
COST will be $40/student… scholarships are available!
Stay tuned for more details + the registration link
