Today marked our third Tiger Ties event!


Students spent the session strengthening peer connections through interactive team-building activities. In honor of America’s semiquincentennial (America 250), one of our focus areas was on our individual stories. Every student designed a custom block reflecting things like their unique hobbies, culture, interests, and traditions . These individual pieces will be joined together to create a vibrant mosaic representing the collective story of our GRE school community.

Kindergarten Information Night is this upcoming Thursday, April 30 from 6:00-7:00 PM. This event is designed for parents only.


During the Kindergarten info night, we will share details about preparing for kindergarten, what families can expect during the school year, opportunities for involvement, and additional building-specific information.


Students do not attend this event, but will have an opportunity to meet their teachers at the Summer Screening opportunity in July and at the Meet the Teacher event in August.


Questions

Families with additional questions about kindergarten registration or eligibility can contact the Dublin City Schools Enrollment Center via email at registration@dublinschools.net


Do you know someone who needs to register?

Kindergarten registration is open for the 2026–2027 school year. For Dublin City Schools, the first day of school for the 2026–2027 school year is August 20, 2026. Children who turn five on or before that date are eligible to begin kindergarten.


How to Register

Families can complete kindergarten registration online through the Dublin City Schools enrollment website. Families are encouraged to thoroughly review the enrollment information on that page before beginning the process. Enrollment is completed online, and families should allow plenty of time for the Enrollment Office to process applications. The closer registration occurs to the start of the school year, the longer the processing times may be.

Important City Update: New Micromobility Rules in Dublin Important City Update: New Micromobility Rules in Dublin

User uploaded image
zoom_out_map

The City of Dublin recently updated its Micromobility Code to clarify which motorized devices are permitted and to strengthen safety expectations across the community. Families should be aware that mini-motorcycles are not allowed anywhere in Dublin, including on sidewalks, shared-use paths, roadways, or in parks. The updated code also requires all riders under the age of 16 to wear helmets, regardless of whether the device is electric or manual.

Parents who knowingly allow their child to violate these rules may face the same penalties as the rider, beginning with a misdemeanor for a first offense and increasing with repeated violations. These changes are designed to improve safety for everyone using Dublin’s transportation network. Families are encouraged to review these expectations with students and ensure that any devices being used comply with City regulations. More details, including examples and frequently asked questions, are available on the City’s website: Motorized Mobility in Dublin
