Dear Families,
What a fun week at Sells Middle School!
We celebrated the end of the trimester with House rewards and even some silly stringing of staff — always a crowd favorite! Our spring athletes have been hard at work with conditioning, showing dedication and commitment as they prepare for their seasons ahead.
Our orchestra students proudly showcased their talents at Dublin Coffman High School, and we couldn’t be more proud of their performance.
And the excitement continues...Shrek the Musical has officially sold out for this weekend! A huge shout-out to the cast and crew for their incredible effort and countless hours of hard work. The show is a smashing success, and we are so proud of everyone involved!
With ROCK Pride,
Katy O'Neal

IMPORTANT ATTENDANCE INFORMATION
Upload Absence Documentation via Campus Parent Portal
Dublin City Schools families now have a new, convenient option for submitting absence documentation through the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Receive a medical note after reporting your child’s absence? Instead of sending a paper copy or a separate email, simply log in and upload it directly to the existing request.
After logging in, select More and then Absence Request. Click View Requests, locate the prior absence in the list, and open it. From there, select Upload Document and choose your file.
Using this feature saves paper, eliminates an extra trip to the office and reduces additional emails to attendance secretaries. It is a small step that helps streamline processes across Dublin City Schools. We appreciate families taking advantage of this new option to support efficient, timely communication.
Please remember that if your child is absent, they are responsible for making up any learning and assignments they missed. We encourage students to check Schoology, connect with their teachers, and reach out to classmates as needed to stay on track.

PTO 26 - 27
Come join us!!!
Even though we still have a few months left in the 2025-26 school year, we're starting to look ahead and will have MANY opportunities for parents to be involved next year.
The PTO exists to serve the incredible staff and students of Sells. To make the impact that we feel they deserve, WE NEED YOU!
Do you have a friend that you would like to serve with? We'd love to make you co-chairs! Start thinking about it and talking to your friends now! Questions? Email us at: sellsmiddleschoolpto@gmail.com
Want to help??
Help us Fund the FUN! Each year the PTO does things like feed teachers, host (free!) events for students, provide teacher grants, and so much more. BUT we can't do it without you! Your financial support (as well as signing up - and following through on your signup - to bring donations) allows us do to these things! Without you, none of the above can happen. If you can't make a donation, who do you know that might be able to? Do you know any businesses that might like to make a donation? We will definitely give them recognition! If you use Venmo, you can make a donation to @SellsMSPTO.
Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/sellsmspto for up-to-date information about everything that we have going on and how you can get involved!

High School Late Start - Tuesday, March 3
Dublin City Schools will administer the SAT to all 11th-grade students on Tuesday, March 3, 2026. Because the SAT will be administered during the school day, high schools will operate on a three-hour delayed start schedule for students who are not testing. View the delayed start high school bell schedule HERE.
Middle school students who take classes at a high school should not report to the high school on March 3. Students may arrive at their middle school in time for their scheduled classes if they have transportation. Otherwise, they should arrive at the normal start time and will work in the cafeteria until their middle school classes begin.
