Deer Run Newsletter

Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing Spring Break. It has been a great week at Deer Run, and it was so nice to see our students return refreshed and ready to learn.

Our 4th and 5th grade students did an excellent job this week completing the English Language Arts (ELA) Ohio State Tests. We are proud of their hard work, focus, and perseverance.

Looking ahead to next week, our 3rd grade students will take the ELA Ohio State Test, and our 5th grade students will take the Math Ohio State Test. We appreciate your continued support in helping students feel prepared and confident during this important time.

Thank you for your partnership and for all that you do to support our school community.

Thank you for your continued support of Deer Run!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Dr. Robinson

Deer Run Elementary families, our 1st Day School Supplies store is officially live. This is the easiest way to order the exact supplies teachers requested for next year. No searching multiple stores. No guessing brands. No wondering if you selected the right version. In just a few minutes, you can select our school, choose your child’s grade, and check school supplies off your list early and stress-free. Order Here: https://1stdayschoolsupplies.com/gs/80469

Registration opens on May 5 at Noon to register to Syntero Summer Groups. Information will be available via a flyer that will be sent home with students.

We are experiencing a lot of illness in the classrooms. Please keep the following in mind before sending your student to school. Always make sure there is someone available on your emergency contacts list to pick up your child in a timely fashion.

Your child is too ill to go to school if he or she has any of the following symptoms:

• Temperature above 100.4°F
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
• Shortness of breath or an increase in wheezing during normal activity
• Has a cough that interrupts normal activity
• Rash over the body or localized to one area of the body
• Fatigue and needs bed rest (common with flu-like symptoms)
• Signs of conjunctivitis such as red, crusty or swollen eyes

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.

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!
