Transition Planning

Dublin City Schools is committed to supporting students and families through the redistricting transition. We understand that changing schools can be challenging, and our goal is to make this process as smooth as possible for everyone. Below, you’ll find an overview of our plans and timeline to ensure a successful transition for your child.

Timeline of Key Activities

*Timeline is tentative and subject to changes as needed.

February

By early 2025, student enrollment projections will be finalized to help guide staffing decisions. Lucas Bauer, principal of Deane Brown Bishop Elementary, will also reach out to families to introduce himself and share details about the process of selecting a mascot, logo, and brand for the new school.


March

Principals of impacted schools will send a welcome email to families transitioning to their school community. The email will include a Parent Profile Form, giving families the opportunity to share insights about their child’s needs. Dates for New Student Open House events in May will also be shared.


April

During April, staff at impacted schools will collaborate closely to create thoughtful class groupings and course schedules for those transitioning to new schools. Counselors will meet to discuss the needs of incoming students, ensuring that teacher and course placements align with students’ academic, social, and emotional needs. Intervention Specialists will also work together to ensure that all support plans and accommodations for students with disabilities are effectively communicated to their new schools.


May

In May, each school will host a New Student Open House to warmly welcome incoming students and their families. These events will provide an opportunity to meet teachers, tour the building, and begin building connections with the new school community before summer break. Additionally, a special meeting for Bishop Elementary families will be held (location TBD) to provide further engagement and address any lingering questions before the school year begins.
