Deer Run Newsletter

Thank you for another great week at Deer Run! Our students continue to bring enthusiasm, kindness, and a strong focus on learning each day. We are grateful for the partnership we share with our families and the support you provide to help our students succeed.

Your involvement, encouragement, and connection to our school community truly make a difference.

We appreciate all you do to support your children and our school.

We look forward to another great week ahead!

Have a wonderful weekend!

We are experiencing a lot of illness in the classrooms. Please keep the following in mind before sending your student to school. Always make sure there is someone available on your emergency contacts list to pick up your child in a timely fashion.

Your child is too ill to go to school if he or she has any of the following symptoms:

• Temperature above 100.4°F
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
• Shortness of breath or an increase in wheezing during normal activity
• Has a cough that interrupts normal activity
• Rash over the body or localized to one area of the body
• Fatigue and needs bed rest (common with flu-like symptoms)
• Signs of conjunctivitis such as red, crusty or swollen eyes

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.

SAVE THE DATE FOR LIGHTS, CAMERA, CREATIONS! (ALSO KNOWN AS THE DEER RUN ART SHOW)

Wednesday, March 18, 2026 from 4:30-6:30

All students will have multiple artwork exhibited.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Dublin Jerome Cross Country is again offering a youth running camp June 8th-11th! Runners of all experience levels are welcome. Find more information and sign up on eventbrite.com through this link. Contact Coach Dave Wadenstierna (wadenstierna_david@dublinschools.net) with any questions.

In the event of an emergency and the need to change a student's dismissal method be sure to send an email to the classroom teacher AND the attendance email (Dres_attendance@dublinschools.net). Teachers are extremely busy during the school day, therefore, it is not guaranteed that the teacher would have time to review the parent email prior to dismissal. Be sure to submit changes as early as possible to increase the likelihood that the communication will be received by our school team prior to dismissal.

As a reminder, car drop off and pick up for all students should take place at the back door of the school. Last school year, students were being dropped off at Grizzell, in the school parking lot, and in the neighborhood adjacent to the school. We want to ensure that all of our students are safely dropped off at school, therefore only the backdoor area should be used. Also, we also want to be considerate of our neighbors that live in the homes adjacent to the school. Therefore, adhering to this guidelines is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
