Illness Policy In compliance with state law, our communicable disease policy as related in the Parent Handbook states that a child with a temperature of 100 degrees or higher, must be free from fever without the aid of fever reducing medication twenty-four hours before returning to school. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us to maintain a healthy environment. Please help us show consideration for each other’s children by complying with this policy. If your child is ill and is going to be absent from school, a phone call to the school is appreciated. If the illness is communicable, we need to know so that we can inform other parents to watch for symptoms. Thank you for your efforts in keeping the school a cell phone free zone. Your children appreciate it more than you know! And you and your child will reap the rewards!

Last Day Celebration
Our annual tradition of celebrating the school year on the last day at the Columbus Zoo will continue! On Friday, May 24th, all children and family members are invited to the zoo for the celebration! The day will begin with a ceremony to acknowledge those children who have completed their Kindergarten year at Dublin Montessori Academy, and are entering first grade. The ceremony will be followed by a continental breakfast. The festivities will begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude around 11:00 a.m. The rest of the day is yours! Hopefully, the weather will be beautiful and you can enjoy the zoo with your family and friends! Gates will open at 9:00 a.m. It will be necessary for everyone to enter through the public admission gates. Please be sure to allow enough time as lines do usually begin to form. This year we are having our celebration at the Pavilion. It is located near entry plaza on the left, past the gift shop. We will be sending an invitation home with your child in the coming weeks. A RESPONSE IS REQUIRED. The school will be paying for any non-member students and their parents. This invitation will help us to determine how many admissions to purchase as well as how many guests to expect. If you are a member of the zoo, be sure to bring your membership card as it will be checked upon entering. All other guests will need to pay admission. Children under 2 are free and parking passes will be provided to non-members. Check your invitation for details on how you can pre-purchase admission tickets. The school will be closed with no Extended Care available. All children must be accompanied by an adult at the ceremony. We hope that everyone can attend! Graduation Rehearsal Traditionally, on the final day at the school before graduation, the graduates have a practice ceremony at 10:00 a.m. We ask that all afternoon kindergartners who are graduating to first grade arrive at school on Thursday, May 23rd at 10:00 A.M. After practice, the graduates will be treated to lunch with the teachers. The lunch will be pizza, carrot sticks, apple slices and ice cream. If you wish to supplement your child’s lunch, please feel free to do so. If you have any questions, please call the office. Proper Footwear Required! With the spring weather comes lots of outdoor time! Proper shoes are necessary for the play area as safety is our main concern. We ask you to dress your child in an athletic type shoe and keep the sandals, backless shoes and heels for other times. Thank you. Last Community Service Project for the Year! This year has flown by and with that we are excited to announce our final community service project. A mission of all the teachers at Dublin Montessori is teaching the children about inclusion of children of all abilities. With that in mind, from May 1st to May 23rd we will be raising funds for Team Heart and Sole; a community of runners (teammates) that push “champions” via special wheelchairs adapted for endurance running. To learn more about the team you can visit their website: www.teamheartsole.org. (You may donate online as well). Dublin Montessori will be collecting “paper money” and Miss Sheidler will be delivering the donations to the team on race day! Your donations will be used to purchase new equipment as well as help with race fees. We are inviting two of the champions to visit the school and share what this group means to them and their families. We would like to invite our families to participate in the 2FGR race on May 23rd. With varying distances from kids fun run to a 10K, there are many ways to participate while seeing Team Heart and Sole in action! You can sign up here: www.signup.com (2 FGR Presents the DSACO Run for Down Syndrome). Thank you for your generous donations throughout the year and we hope to see many of you on May 23rd!
