Math Course Skipping Information
Please see this letter from our district math and science coordinator, Ellen McDonald, for information regarding course skipping tests for students in grades 2-7 that may be qualified to skip math courses. To avoid student frustration, thoughtful consideration should come before registering students for above grade-level math testing. High-levels of success in the current math course, while important, is not the primary indicator of students successful with math course-skipping tests. Please see the letter for more information.
Registration for a test date is open until March 25. Online registration is available through this Google Form and paper forms are available in the Dublin office.

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!
