Thank you for your care and caution while driving!
Reminders about our Donlon traffic:
Honor the queue! Do not cut in front of others in our front loop. If you need to drop off your child in the front loop, you must wait in line. You may NOT drop off your child from the left lane - only drop off in the curb lane, and have your child exit from the curb side of the car.
Keep our traffic flowing! Our front lot has TWO exit lanes for after you have dropped off or picked up your child. You can see two arrows painted on the ground as a reminder. Please fill both lanes (they both turn right at the end of the loop - drivers must take turns exiting).
Please don't block traffic by waiting for students on Dorman Road in front of our school. The southbound far right lane is for vehicles turning right into the Donlon parking lot. If you'd like to pick up your child elsewhere, the back of the school is an excellent spot, or you could have them walk to a different close location to meet you.
Cross safely! Do NOT run across the road or encourage your children to run across the road. All must use the crosswalks. A few extra steps to go to the crosswalk can be the difference between safety and tragedy. Also, please remind children that they must get off of their bikes and walk across the street. Riding a bike across the street is risky, because it doesn't allow time for car drivers to see the bike rider in time to stop.

A message from a Dublin High School Student regarding an environmental opportunity:
Dear Parents,
I'm thrilled to share an opportunity for those passionate about creating innovative, technological solutions to problems facing our local community. Envirolympia is an environmental hackathon backed by notable organizations and figures, including Harvard ELS, Stanford ESW, the City of Dublin, and Dublin’s Mayor Hernandez herself. It's a chance for your child to showcase creativity, gain real-world experience, and take a step toward becoming a future entrepreneur. For more details and to participate, visit Envirolympia's website at https://www.envirolympia.com/. I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you so much for your consideration!
Kind Regards,
