Dear Staff,
We hope you have had an awesome weekend with your families! What a terrific week for the Jerome family! The week started with Gretchen George being recognized by the Dublin School Board for winning the Golden Shamrock Award.

Then the staff came together to let Maureen know how much we support her by wearing our "Fight Like a Girl" shirts, followed by Maureen and her staff team walking in the Race for a Cure.

| Wow! That's a lot of pink and Fight like a Girl shirts! We love you, Maureen! |

We also received some wonderful news from one of our staff members this week. Ashley Finneran is pregnant with twins! We are so thrilled for her! Ashley, you can get a lot of advice from Lori, JP, Jon, Brad, Magen or Kate!
Much thanks to the Master Schedule team and everyone who stopped in to see the process. The first draft of the schedule is built and now George Nosker will input it. After that, we will run the schedule and see the percentage of students who schedule. Usually we have to make some minor changes in order to increase the percentage of students scheduling.
Once the schedule is locked, which should be the week of May 28, we will then distribute it to staff. Our goal is that everyone will know his/her teaching schedule prior to leaving for the summer. As always, chairs will be working on and determining room assignments also prior to leaving. We are sorry for the delay in the schedule but late staffing decisions caused us to delay building the schedule. Both Math and Science are conducting interviews for their open positions.
Please make sure that you have notified seniors who have to take the exam in your class. If you have any senior failures, please make sure and let us know as soon as possible. Senior exams are May 21-27. Please call the parents of any senior in danger of failing your class. Questions? Please let us know.
The seniors will be riding their alternative transportation vehicles to school on Monday. If you do not have a 1st period class, please join us in the parking lot to help monitor seniors. We will need people at each entrance and also in the parking lot by the tennis courts. Our first goal is safety. Seniors are not to be in the building on Monday. Please be visible in the hallways during the day and if you are near any of the outside doors please check them regularly to make sure they are clocked and not taped open etc. We appreciate any and all help you can give.
About 2/3 of the class will be going to Cedar Point. The rest of the seniors are mostly athletes who are required to be in school that day. Please help by making that day as positive and productive as possible.
