I wish you all a happy and healthy summer!

New School Hours for 2026 - 27 School Year
Dublin City Schools will adjust elementary and high school start and dismissal times for the 2026-27 school year. Middle school times will remain the same. These updates are intended to improve transportation reliability, maintain consistent instructional time, and create a more efficient district-wide schedule. The added time between bus routes is expected to reduce delays and improve on-time performance. The earlier high school schedule will also better support students attending Tolles Career & Technical Center by allowing more time for travel, instruction, and lunch.
New School Hours
Elementary: 9:15 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.
Middle: 8:28 a.m. – 3:08 p.m. (no change)
High School: 7:45 a.m. – 2:35 p.m.

MAP Assessment Data
The MAP assessments allow us to measure student achievement and academic growth over time. Students participate in the MAP Reading and MAP Math assessments during designated benchmark windows throughout the year (Reading: Grades 2-8, Math: Grades 1-8). The MAP 2-5 and MAP 6+ assessments allow us to identify students as gifted in the areas of math and/or reading. MAP scores in the 95th-99th percentile meet the Ohio Department of Education requirements for gifted identification. Students scoring in the range for a gifted identification on the MAP assessment will be supported in their regular classroom setting through high-quality, differentiated instruction. Spring MAP results are now visible to parents in the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Additional information about MAP can be found here.
