Deer Run Newsletter

We had an amazing week at Deer Run! Our students had the opportunity to participate in meaningful experiences that celebrated resilience, perseverance, and the strength of our school community.

Students greatly enjoyed the engaging assembly with Jim "Basketball" Jones, whose message about resilience, character, and perseverance truly resonated with our students. Throughout the week, classrooms also participated in our Resilience Spirit Week themes and activities, creating opportunities for students to reflect, connect, and encourage one another.

Thank you to all of the families who joined us for our Family Resilience Night. It was a wonderful evening filled with connection, learning, and celebration of our students’ strengths. We are so grateful for your presence and partnership. It truly was an amazing event!

We also extend our sincere thanks to the Dublin Education Foundation and our Deer Run PTO for sponsoring these meaningful opportunities for our students. Their support helps make experiences like this possible.

Thank you for being such an important part of the Deer Run community.

Have a wonderful weekend!

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!
