Deer Run Newsletter

Due to an unprecedented snowstorm school was canceled this week. The safety of our students, families, and staff is always our top priority, and we appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we navigated the weather.

We hope everyone stayed safe and warm during the storm. We look forward to welcoming our students back to school next week and returning to our regular routines of learning, connection, and growth.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are excited to see our students back in the building soon!

Have a wonderful weekend!

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!

Snow Day Details

There is no longer a five-day calamity rule in Ohio. The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce sets minimum instructional hour requirements, and Dublin City Schools intentionally builds additional hours into the school year calendar in anticipation of inclement weather. Dublin City Schools has been closed six days this year (one day in December and five days in January), and even with those closures, the district remains well above the state minimum instructional hours. Hours missed above the required minimum do not need to be made up, and Dublin City Schools does not anticipate needing to extend the school year or make up missed time.

Track SnowGo Progress

After this weekend’s significant snowfall, our SnowGo Warriors continue making strong progress clearing residential areas. With the freezing temperatures this week, residents should expect plowed roads in neighborhoods, but hard-packed snow from the plows will remain. Crews will begin to treat these areas as soon as temperatures rise. Thank you, Dublin, for your continued patience and understanding! SnowGo updates: http://dublinohiousa.gov/snowgo
