COVID-19 Updates: School Closures Extended to May 1
Please watch the latest video message from Dr Marken on March 27, 2020 here http://bit.ly/DUSD-COVID-19 Meal service information at http://bit.ly/DUSD-Meals From DHS Administration
Hi Students and Families, We understand how important events at our school are to our students and their families. We want to assure you that we are doing the best we can to keep you informed if and when changes are made. We ask for your patience, flexibility, and support during this time. We are in this with you and know we will get through it together. At this moment, we are waiting for more direction from state and federal agencies about current shelter in place orders to determine what will happen with regards to these year-ending events. Absent of state assistance, our District is working with our neighboring districts to develop a common plan for end of the year decisions. Below are updates we can share at this moment: Refunds for Junior Prom Tickets Junior Prom has been canceled and everyone who purchased a ticket will be receiving a refund. We heard that some families are asking about donating their ticket purchase. That is very kind of them. We ask that every student fill out this form so we know if we should issue a refund or consider it a donation. All refunds will be in the form of a check from Dublin High School. If someone paid by check, the refund will go to the person who wrote the check. If someone paid by cash or credit card, the refund will go to the student's emergency contact #1. Please contact Ms. Velez at velezlenni@dublinusd.org if you have a question regarding your refund. Regards, Dublin High Administration GAEL Library Website
The Gael Library website has had a makeover. Check out the site for resources K-12 for fun free activities and learning sites available during shelter in place in addition to book talks from Mrs. Spence. There are contests dropping monthly (if not more) and book trailers to help you find your next read. Do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Spence if you have any questions or need help.

Counseling & Career Center News
Greetings from Mrs Nobida in the DHS College and Career Center! If you are applying for scholarships PLEASE carefully follow the instructions on the application on where to turn them in. Many need to be mailed in, so pay close attention to the due dates. If by mail, allow at least two to three business days to get there in time! A small portion of the scholarships state that they need to be turned into the career center or counseling. Please do not come to campus as we are closed. Instead, please do one of the following: 1) Scan and email to me - please state in the subject line what scholarship you are applying for 2) If you do not have a scanner, please take a clear photo and email it to me. If I cannot read the application via photo, I will let you know and we can find another way for you to get it to me. When emailing, please state in the subject line what scholarship you are applying for 3) If neither of the above works for you, please email me and I will figure out another way for you to get the application to me! I am here to help! My email is: nobidaleann@dublinusd.org A couple of tips: - Many of the scholarships ask for a transcript. You can download that from your portal. If you have questions, please contact me. - If the application asks you what college you will be attending, many of you will not know that information yet. I recommend listing the colleges you were accepted to and the ones that you are still waiting to hear back from. Thank you and please, do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions. Please check back to my scholarship page for updated information. I try to update at least once a week! https://www.dublin.k12.ca.us/Page/12982 More info available on the DHS Career Center Website Counseling Calendar here PFSO Scholarship
