Preschool Forms, Safety, Video Surveillance, Visitors, Public Concerns/Complaints

Many forms routinely completed by parents prior to the start of school, or during the first few days of the school year, are available on the district website (www.dublinschools.net) under “FAMILIES”.   Please contact the school of attendance if you have any questions.

Student safety is a responsibility of the staff.  All staff members are familiar with emergency procedures such as fire and tornado drills and accident reporting procedures.  At least one staff member is trained in communicable disease and first aid, as is the clinic aide in each building.

In order to protect Board property, promote security and protect the health, welfare and safety of students, staff and visitors, the Board of Education authorizes the use of video surveillance and electronic monitoring equipment on school property, in school buildings and school buses.  Information obtained through video surveillance/electronic monitoring may be used to identify intruders and persons breaking the law, Board policy, or the Student Code of Conduct.

For additional information please reference Board of Education Policy #7440.01 and Administrative Guideline #7440.01 – Video Surveillance and Electronic Monitoring.

In order to properly monitor the safety of students and staff, visitors are required to register their attendance upon arrival at our schools.  Visitors are asked to enter through the front doors of the school where they will be invited to register their attendance with the school secretary in the main office.  Any visitor found in the building without a visitor/volunteer badge will be asked to return to the school office.

If parents wish to confer with a member of the staff, they should call for an appointment prior to coming to the school, in order to prevent any inconvenience to parents/staff or disruption of the learning process.

Students may not bring visitors to school without first obtaining permission from the building principal.

From time to time concerns regarding the school will arise.  Dublin Schools welcome constructive criticism, believing it can improve the quality of program and in meeting individual student needs more effectively.

Persons with concerns are asked to try to resolve the matter as near the source as possible.  When additional help is needed, following the usual channels of authority is appropriate within the school.

The district does maintain policies regarding public concerns/complaints about the school for those problems not resolvable at the school building level and requiring Central Office or Board of Education involvement.  Copies of Policy and Guideline 9130 may be obtained from your building, our web site, or from the Superintendent’s office.
