Good Evening,

It’s been a busy and exciting week at the middle school! Students wrapped up MAP testing, celebrated a big basketball win, and continued engaging in lots of fun, meaningful learning across classrooms.

Rising 7th and 8th grade families, please be on the lookout next week for important Sells scheduling information for the 2026–27 school year. A video will be sent on Monday with everything you need to know to help support your student as they begin making their scheduling decisions.

With ROCK Pride,

We aim to improve the health of Dublin students by offering easy and convenient access to health care within the school. The goal of our school-based clinic is to keep students healthy, reduce school absences and promote learning and development so students can achieve their full potential. OhioHealth’s school-based health clinic provides preventive services including vaccinations, well-child visits and sports physicals for students.

To schedule an appointment, call 614-533-KIDS (5437) or contact your school nurse. The child’s parent/guardian must provide consent via the Authorization to Treat Form for the child to be seen by the doctor.

Appointments are available during school hours. Parents/guardians are always welcome, but don’t need to be present. A doctor may reach out to you after the visit if needed. We will give your child a reminder card for any recommended follow-ups or vaccines.

Here is a link to all the information!

Please email Mrs. O'Neal for more information at:

Students, parents, and friends have the ability to send "Candygrams" to other students. Candy is purchased either online (through February 6) or in the Commons during lunch (February 3, 4, or 5). Candygrams will be delivered to students on Thursday, February 12. The money raised is used to put on a special celebration for our 8th graders in May.

To be successful, we need your help!

SAVE THE DATE: Friday, April 13!

We need some help with the planning! Please email us at: sellsmiddleschoolpto@gmail.com to join the fun!

We will also need volunteers at the dance! Stay tuned to signup!

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

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!
